Explain why the boiling point of a liquid varies with atmospheric pressure

1 answer:

5 0

The boiling point of water, or any liquid, varies according to the surrounding atmospheric pressure. A liquid boils, or begins turning to vapor, when its internal vapor pressure equals the atmospheric pressure.

A bullet leaves a gun with a horizontal velocity of 100 m/s. Calculate the distance it would travel in 1.3 seconds.

salantis [7]

Answer:

130m

Explanation:

You just have to multiply velocity by the time traveled:

100m/s * 1.3s = 130m!

Answer:

a) It took 1.28 seconds to Neil Armstrong's voice to reach the Earth via radio waves.

b) The minimum time that will be required for a message from Mars to reach the Earth via radio waves is 192 seconds.

Explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum is the distribution of radiation due to the different frequencies at which it radiates and its different intensitie. That radiation is formed by electromagnetic waves, which are transverse waves formed by an electric field and a magnetic field perpendicular to it.

The distribution of the radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum can also be given in wavelengths, but it is more frequent to work with it at frequencies:

Gamma rays

X-rays

Ultraviolet rays

Visible region

Infrared

Microwave

Radio waves.

Any radiation that belongs to electromagnetic spectrum has a speed in vacuum of $3x10^{8}m/s$ .

a) Find the time it took for his voice to reach the Earth via radio waves.

To know the time that took for Neil Armstrong's voice to reach the Earth via radio waves, the following equation can be used:

$c = \frac{d}{t}$ (1)

Where v is the speed of light, d is the distance and t is the time.

Notice that t can be isolated from equation 1.

$t = \frac{d}{c}$ (2)

The distance from the Earth to the Moon is $3.85x10^{8} m$ , therefore.

$t = \frac{3.85x10^{8} m}{3x10^{8}m/s}$

$t = 1.28s$

Hence, it took 1.28 seconds to Neil Armstrong's voice to reach the Earth via radio waves.

b) Determine the minimum time that will be required for a message from Mars to reach the Earth via radio waves.

The distance from the Earth to the Mars at its closest approach is $5.76x10^{10}m$ , therefore.

$t = \frac{5.76x10^{10}m}{3x10^{8}m/s}$

$t = 192s$

Hence, the minimum time that will be required for a message from Mars to reach the Earth via radio waves is 192 seconds.

Damm [24]

Answer:

ugmd = 1/2 kx²

d = (1/2 kx²) / (ugm)

= (1/2 * 250 N/m * (0.2 m)²) / (0.23 * 9.81 m/s² * 0.3 kg)

= 7.4 m

ugmd = 1/2 mv²

v = √2ugd

= √(2(0.23)(9.81 m/s²)(7.4 m)

= 5.8 m/s

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

$1.3310\times 10^8 m/s$ is the rock's speed.

Explanation:

Momentum is defined as motion possessed by the moving body's mass. Mathematically it a product of mas and velocity of the body.

$Momentum(P)=Mass(m)\times velocity(v)$

Given : Mass of rock = m = 1.45 kg

Velocity of the rock = v

Momentum of the rock = P = $1.93\times 10^8 kg m/s$

$1.93\times 10^8 kg m/s=1.45 kg\times v$

$v=\frac{1.93\times 10^8 kg m/s}{1.45 kg}=1.33\times 10^8 m/s$

$1.3310\times 10^8 m/s$ is the rock's speed.

Why do cells undergo mitosis?

avanturin [10]

Cells undergo mitosis for three main reasons:
-To repair and/or replace old or damaged cells.
-During periods of cell and tissue growth
-When the body needs exact replicas/copies of cells e.g. hair cells and blood cells.
