If you live in a very cold area, you may have seen the depth of a bank of snow shrink even though temperatures remain below the

melting point of water. How might you account for this observation?

<span>To answer the question above, if the day sky is clear it collects radiation. If air is dry snow sublimates faster. If both cases overlap it disappears faster where ever coldest. Thank you for posting your question here. I hope my answer helps. </span>

What is the minimal mass of helium (density 0.18 kg/m3) needed to lift a balloon carrying two people in a basket, if the total m
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:   
 M[min] = M[basket+people+ balloon, not gas] * ΔR/R[b] 
 Î”R is the difference in density between the gas inside and surrounding the balloon. 
 R[b] is the density of gas inside the baloon.   
 ==================================== 
 Let V be the volume of helium required. 
 Upthrust on helium = Weight of the volume of air displaced = Density of air * g * Volume of helium = 1.225 * g * V   
 U = 1.225gV newtons 
 ---- 
 Weight of Helium = Volume of Helium * Density of Helium * g 
 W[h] = 0.18gV N   
 Net Upward force produced by helium, F = Upthrust - Weight = (1.225-0.18) gV = 1.045gV N  -----

 
 Weight of 260kg = 2549.7 N 
 Then to lift the whole thing, F > 2549.7 
 So minimal F would be 2549.7 
 ---- 
 1.045gV = 2549.7 
 V = 248.8 m^3   
 Mass of helium required = V * Density of Helium = 248.8 * 0.18 = 44.8kg (3sf)   
 =====   
 Let the density of the surroundings be R 
 Then U-W = (1-0.9)RgV = 0.1RgV   
 So 0.1RgV = 2549.7 N 
 V = 2549.7 / 0.1Rg   
 Assuming that R is again 1.255, V = 2071.7 m^3 
 Then mass of hot air required = 230.2 * 0.9R = 2340 kg   
 Notice from this that M = 2549.7/0.9Rg * 0.1R so   
 M[min] = Weight of basket * (difference in density between balloon's gas and surroundings / density of gas in balloon)   
 M[min] = M[basket] * ΔR/R[b]

A light wave encounters a partial physical barrier, such as a wall with a hole in it. What is MOST LIKELY to occur?
tatiyna
Most likely, the light wave will be absorbed by the wall. Without any information as to the size and color of the wall, the location and size of the hole, or the location of the light wave, this is a generalized probability problem. For all of the places the light could be, it's more likely that it hits the wall than the hole (if the hole is less than 50% of the area of the wall).

What if energy, like electricity, could not be converted to other forms like sound, heat, motion, or light?
EleoNora [17]

Answer: It wouldn't be as modern as today is we would be back to using oil and other things from back then there wouldn't be cars everything would be less machined.
