Answer: 5.5km

Explanation:

Atmospheric pressure will be 500 mb (that is half of the total 1000mb air pressure).

Pressure decreases with increasing altitude. This is because at At higher altitudes, there are fewer air molecules above a the known or given surface than a similar surface at lower levels.

Pressure decreasing with higher altitudes also means that  air pressure decreases rapidly at lowerevels but more slowly at higher levels.

It is also known that more than half of the atmospheric molecules are located below 5.5 km(that is atmospheric pressure decreases within the lowest 5.5 km to about fifty(50) percent( that is 500 millibar).

William Ferrel created a tide-prediction machine.

Explanation:

  • William Ferrel create a machine in late 19th century that was the best combination of mechanical parts and computer coding.
  • It was a mechanical analog computer that could predict the ebb of tides and even the height of tides that could be irregular.
  • It was widely used for marine networks and navigation. Later on many improvisations and additional features were added on it.
  • During the world war times, this tide prediction machine was of great use for military purpose.

Two charged objects separated by some distance attract each other. If the charges on both objects are doubled with no change in
Serggg [28]

Answer:

(a) The force between them quadruples

Explanation:

According to coulomb's law, initial force between the two charged objects is given as;

F_1=\frac{Kq_1q_2}{r^2}

where;

k is coulomb's constant

q₁ is the charge on the first object

q₂ is the charge on the second object

r is the distance between the two objects

When the charges on both objects are doubled, then;

q₁ = 2q₁

q₂ = 2q₂

Force between the two charged objects will become

F_2 = \frac{K2q_12q_2}{r^2} =  \frac{4Kq_1q_2}{r^2} = 4(\frac{Kq_1q_2}{r^2}) = 4F_1

Therefore, the force between them quadruples

How can i tell the difference between a one element and another?
dybincka [34]


Normally, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons, which makes atoms electrically neutral. The number of protons in an atom is the defining feature of an atom. It's what makes one element different from another

Answer:

The ecosystem that he should consider is the tropical rain forest ecosystem.

Explanation:

In that area, there are uncountable amounts of various plants and animals that have not all yet been discovered and who all live together to build the biome. This biome is indeed the most diverse one even at this point without the knowledge of all possible life forms.
