As air rises, why do clouds form?

Physics
1 answer:
MissTica2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

C. the air cools to its dew-point temperature and condenses into liquid water

Explanation:

Clouds are formed when the air rises heated by terrestrial irradiation. As it warms, the air rises and rises until it reaches its dew point, which will be when the water vapor condenses on (dew) or ice crystals. These droplets, which have a spherical shape and measure between 0.004 and 0.1 mm, are in continuous motion when they are suspended in the air and when they are subjected to updrafts, so they collide with each other and group together. Depending on the atmospheric conditions, an increase in their thickness may occur so as to cause them to precipitate.

The speed limit on some interstate highways is roughly 80 km/h. What is this in meters per second? How many miles per hour is th
sergey [27]

Answer:

1) Speed in m/s equals 22.22 m/s.

2) Speed in miles per hour equals 49.712 mph.

Explanation:

Since we know that in 1 kilometer there are 1000 meters and in 1 hour there are 3600 seconds hence we can write

80km/h=\frac{80\times 1000m}{3600s}=22.22m/s

Now we know that 1 mile equals 1.609 kilometer  hence we conclude that 1 kilometer equals \frac{1}{1.609}=0.6214mile

Hence

80km/h=\frac{80\times 0.6214miles}{1h}=49.712mph

A 2. 0 kg-book is at rest on a 30 o inclined plane. The normal force acting on the book by the inclined plane is most nearly
Anvisha [2.4K]

The normal force acting on the book by the inclined plane is most nearly 17N.

<h3>What is the normal force?</h3>

When a body is resting on the surface, the reaction force acting perpendicular to the surface of contact and in upward direction is equal to the the weight of the object.

On an inclined plane of 30 degree, a 2 kg block is resting. Its weight mg has two components, mgcos30 and mgsin30.

The Normal force will be equal to

N = mgcos30

N =2 x 9.81 x cos30

N = 17 Newtons

Thus,  normal force acting on the book by the inclined plane is most nearly 17N.

All of the planets and their satellites orbit the Sun in the same direction, and all their orbits lie near the same plane. True
MissTica

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The Sun rotates in the counterclockwise (CCW) direction when seen from its north pole. Since, the planets revolve around the Sun because of its gravity, the revolution of all the planets and their moons as seen from the north of the Sun is in CCW direction.

In fact most of the solar system bodies rotate in the same direction that is CCW. Some major exceptions to this are Venus and Uranus.

Almost all the planets and moons were made from the planetary disk around the Sun. Thus, they lie nearly in the same plane.

The position-time graph for a bug crawling along a line is shown in item 4 below. Determine whether the velocity is positive, ne
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer: The velocity at different marked time points are given as

t1 = -

t2 = +

t3 = +

t4 = -

t5 = 0

Explanation:

The slope of the tangent of the curve indicates the instantaneous velocity. So if the slope of the tangent is positive, that Is, the tangent makes a positive angle (above the horizontal axis) with the horizontal

axis, then the velocity at this point is positive, and if the slope of the tangent is negative, that is the tangent makes a negative angle with the horizontal axis (below the horizontal axis), then the velocity at this point is negative.

When the tangent of the line is parallel to the horizontal axis, the velocity is 0.

From the position-time graph attached, the sign on the instantaneous velocity for each time marked on the graph is given below

t1 = -

t2 = +

t3 = +

t4 = -

t5 = 0

What can be defined as the rate at which velocity changes
taurus [48]

Answer:

acceleration

Explanation:

The rate at which velocity changes is the definition of the physical quantity called acceleration, and it is given by the formula: a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{\Delta t}

where \Delta t is the time that took to change from the initial velocity v_i to the final velocity v_f
