What is air pressure?

Air pressure is the amount of molecules in the air. For example, the higher you go in Earth's atmosphere the less pressure so less molecules. <span />

<span>Air pressure also varies over time, and these temporal differences are usually caused by the temperature of the air. Cool air is denser (heavier) than warm air. Warm air is less dense (lighter) than cool air and will therefore rise above it. Areas of high pressure can be caused when cool air is sinking and pressing on the ground. At this time, the weather is usually dry and clear. In contrast, when warm air rises, it causes a region of low pressure. With low pressure, the weather is often wet and cloudy.
</span>Air pres<span>sure varies over time and from place to place. If we travel up a mountain or go up in a hot air balloon, for example, the air pressure gets less the higher we go. We can explain this difference by comparing air pressure to a pile of blankets on your bed.

What is the maximum number of unpaired d electrons that an atom or ion can possess?
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

5

Explanation:

The d subshell has 5 orbitals, each capable of holding a maximum of two electrons. Hund's rule tells us that every orbital in a sub-level must first be singly occupied by electrons before any orbital is doubly occupied. Therefore five electrons will fill the five orbitals within the d subshell.

What kind of radiation is emitted in the following nuclear reaction
miv72 [106K]

Beta emission is occurring in the given nuclear reaction.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

In this equation, the reactant is the Thorium atom, which is reduced to palladium. As the atomic number get decreased by one, so an electron will be emitted. This process of emission of electrons by radiation or decaying the reactant nuclei to form a new product nuclei is termed as beta emission.

So, the electrons are generally termed as beta particles while the positrons are termed as positive beta particles. So this is a kind of radioactive reactions where the reactant changes to new element by releasing an electron and thus there is a change in the atomic number of the product by one.

A block of mass m = 150 kg rests against a spring with a spring constant of k = 880 N/m on an inclined plane which makes an angl
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

b)  k Δx - W cos θ - μ mg cos θ = m a ,  c)  θ = 86.6º, d)  Δx = 1.18 m

Explanation:

a) In the attachment we can see a diagram of the forces in this problem and the coordinate axes for its decomposition.

F is the force applied by the spring, while it is compressed, this force disappears when the block leaves the spring

b) Let's apply Newton's second law for when the spring is compressed

let's use trigonometry to break down the weight

            sin θ = Wₓ / W

            cos θ = W_y / W

             Wₓ = W sin θ

             W_y = W cos θ

Y axis  

               N - W_y = 0

               N = W_y

               N = W cos θ

X axis

           F -Wₓ -fr = ma

the force applied by the spring is given by hooke's law

           F = k Δx

friction force has the expression

           fr = μ N

           fr = μ W cos θ

we substitute

            k Δx - W cos θ - μ mg cos θ = m a           ( 1)

c) If the plane has no friction, what is the angle so that Δx = 0.1m

             

We write the equation 1, with fr = 0 and since the system is still a = 0

            k Δx - W cos θ -0 = 0

            cos θ = \frac{k \Delta x}{ m g}

            cos θ = \frac{880 \ 0.1}{ 150 \ 9.8}

            cos θ = 0.0598

            θ = cos⁻¹ 0.0598

            θ = 86.6º

d) In this part they give the angle θ = 45º and there is no friction, they ask the compression

the acceleration is zero, we substitute in 1

            k Δx - W cos θ - 0 = 0

            Δx = \frac{mg \ cos \  \theta}{k}

            Δx = \frac{ 150 \ 9.8 \ cos45}{880}

            Δx = 1.18 m
