Answer:
Temperature is the kinetic energy of the particles of a substance.
Explanation:
The more kinetic energy a particle has the higher it's temperature. In the case of the atmosphere, which is what we are primarily concerned with in Meteorology, we measure this using a mercury thermometer (in certain situations we use an alcohol thermometer and of course modern times have given us things like dewcells and digital thermometers but we always go back to the mercury thermometer for accuracy).
Answer:
A 60 kg person standing on a platform at the surface of Saturn and they jumped, they would have to push with a force greater than 540 N
Explanation:
The gravitational attraction between an object on the surface of a planet and the planet is given by the weight of the object
Therefore the force needed to be applied for an object to lift off the surface of a planet = The weight of the object
The weight of the object on the surface of a planet = m × g
Where;
m = The mass of the object
g = The strength of gravity on the planet's surface in N/kg
The given parameters are;
The mass of the person standing on a platform at the surface of Saturn, m = 60 kg
The strength of gravity on the surface of Saturn = 9 N/kg
Therefore, we have;
The weight of the person = The force greater than which the person would have to push on the surface of Saturn so as to Jump = The weight of the person on the surface of Saturn = 60 kg × 9 N/kg = 540 N
Therefore, for a 60 kg person standing on a platform at the surface of Saturn and they jumped, they would have to push with a force greater than 540 N.
Answer:
The speed of sound depends on the medium thru which it travels in contrast to light (electromagnetic) which can travel thru a vacuum.
The speed of sound will depend on the density of the air thru which it travels - the density of air is particularly affected by
humidity - water vapor in the air contributes to less density
temperature - warmer is less dense
motion of air - if the air is not motionless the speed will be affected
Plastic and glass are both poor heat conductors. They are insulators which means their electrons don’t move as freely as conductors.
