As air rises, why do clouds form?

Physics
1 answer:
MissTica3 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.

An object-spring system undergoes simple harmonic motion with an amplitude A. Does the total energy change if the mass is double
son4ous [18]

Answer: No, The energy will remain the same

Explanation: Doubling the mass and leaving the amplitude unchanged won't have any effect on the total energy of the system.

At maximum displacement, E=0.5kA^2

Where E = total energy

K = spring constant

A = Amplitude

From the formula above : Total Energy is independent of mass,. Therefore, total energy won't be affected by Doubling the mass value of the object.

Also when the object is at a displacement 'x' from its equilibrium position.

E = Potential Energy(P.E) + Kinetic Energy(K.E)

P.E = 0.5kx^2

Where x = displacement from equilibrium position

E = Total Energy

K. E= E-0.5kx^2

From the relation above, total energy is independent of its mass and therefore has no effect on the total energy.

Define the relationship between refraction and reflection
ElenaW [278]
Reflection and refraction are two different phenomenons. In case of reflection, wave bounces back into the same medium after incident with the interface of two mediums. Reflection will happen if surface is shiny as well as smooth. If surface is irregular, one will get diffused reflection. Refraction means bending of light when waves travel from one medium to another

An ac generator with peak voltage 100 volts is placed across a 10-? resistor. What is the average power dissipated?
Romashka [77]
The correct answer is: Average Power  = 500 W

Explanation:
Root-mean square voltage = Vrms = Vpeak /√2 = 100 / √2 volts
Resistance = R = 10 Ω
Average power = Pavg = (Vrms)^2<span> / R </span>= (100 * 100) / (2 * 10) = <span>500 W</span>
