<span>I believe this happens because when you rub the balloon on the carpet or fabric, the connection or contact of that jumbles up the atoms and they receive the energy which makes your hair as the question said 'stand on end' </span>

How can we protect space shuttles or astronauts from space radiation in the absence of the atmospheric layer?
Arisa [49]
Earth's protective magnetic bubble, called the magnetosphere, deflects most solar particles, but in the absence of atmospheric layer, Polyethylene is a good shielding material because it has high hydrogen content, and hydrogen atoms are good at absorbing and dispersing radiation.

The Earth’s atmospheres are kept in place by gravity. The air near the ground is pulled on by gravity and compressed by the air higher in the sky. This causes the air near the ground to be denser and creating different layers with different qualities in which are the atmosphere.

Hope that helps ^^

A piston-cylinder device initially contains 1.4 kg saturated liquid water at 200oC. Now heat is transferred to the water until t
postnew [5]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of saturated liquid water m=1.4\ kg

at 200^{\circ} specific volume is \nu =0.001157\ m^3\kg(From Table A-4,Saturated water Temperature table)

V_1=m\nu _1

V_1=1.4\times 0.001157

V_1=1.6198\times 10^{-3}\ m^3

Final Volume V_2=4V_1

V_2=4\times (1.6198\times 10^{-3})

V_2=6.4792\times 10^{-3}\ m^3

Specific volume at this stage

\nu _2=\frac{V_2}{m}

\nu _2=\frac{6.4792\times 10^{-3}}{1.4}

\nu _2=0.004628\ m^3/kg

Now we see the value and find the temperature it corresponds to specific volume at vapor stage in the table.

T_2=T_1^{*}+\frac{T_2^{*}-T_1^{*}}{\alpha _2^{*}-\alpha _1^{*}}\times (\alpha _2-\alpha _1^{*})

T_2=370^{\circ}+\frac{373.95-370}{0.003106-0.004953}\times (0.004628-0.004953)

T_2=370.7^{\circ} C

The intensity of an earthquake wave passing through the earth is measured to be 2.5×106 j/(m2⋅s) at a distance of 43 km from the
vampirchik [111]

r₁ = distance of the point from the source = 43 km = 43000 m

I₁ = intensity of earthquake wave at distance "r₁" = 2.5 x 10⁶ W/m²

r₂ = distance of the point from the source = 1.5 km = 1500 m

I₂ = intensity of earthquake wave at distance "r₂" = ?

we know that , for a constant power , the intensity of wave is inversely proportional to the distance from the source .

I α 1/r²             where I = intensity of wave , r = distance from source

hence we can write

I₁/I₂ = r₂²/r₁²

inserting the values

(2.5 x 10⁶) /I₂ = (1500/43000)²

I₂ = 2.1 x 10⁹ W/m²

Why is physical science important
Murrr4er [49]
"Traditionally, physical science courses are categorized into four areas: physics, chemistry, earth sciences, and space sciences. It is important to understand that the arbitrary divisions of specialized knowledge are integrated into a basic overview of the physical laws that govern our universe." - Cameron University
