Of course. You've certainly heard that energy is conserved, period. Why would you think it's different when a ball falls to the ground ? ?

When saturated air is cooled what happens to its dew point

Eddi Din [679]

When saturated air is cooled, it simply reaches its dew point. Dew point is simply the temperature at which dew begins to form.

Dew point of saturated air is already pre-determined by how much water vapor the air contains. A state of saturation exists when the air is holding the maximum amount of water vapor possible at the existing temperature and pressure. The higher the dew point, the higher the moisture content of the air. Cooling does not change the dew point of saturated air, rather its the level of saturation.

So if the air has more moisture, dew will form at a higher temperature and vice versa, but dew point is NEVER EVER GREATER than the air temperature.

Lien uses a spring scale to pull a block toward the right across the lab table. The scale reads 8 N. Which force should Lien con

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

<h2>Frictional force</h2>

Explanation:

For the block placed on the table, there are several force acting on the body along the horizontal and vertical axis. All this forces tends to keep the body in a state of equilibrium.The forces acting along the horizontal are the moving force (Fm) and the frictional force (Ff).

Frictional force are forces that acts opposite to the force that causes the body to move (moving force).

If Lien uses a spring scale to pull a block toward the right across the lab table and the scale reads 8 N, this means that the force that causes the body to move is the 8N force (moving force).

Taking the sum of force along the horizontal;

$\sum fx = ma_x$
