Answer:

Option (3)

Explanation:

The capacity of air to hold moisture or water content is directly proportional to the temperature of the air. This means that, with the increasing temperature, the air is capable of holding more amount of water. This results in a decreasing amount of relative humidity. When the temperature of the air increases and the water vapor content increases simultaneously, it slowly starts to condense and thereby leads to the occurrence of precipitation.

Thus, the correct answer is option (3).

Answer:

3. increases with an increase in temperature.

Explanation:

The air more water vapor at higher temperatures because at higher temperatures the air expands and the inter-molecular space increases so the room for water molecules increases.

Warm air keeps the water molecules warm and prevents them from condensing.

The air can hold the moisture only upto its saturation quantity after which the precipitation occurs in the form of rain, snow, hail, sleet etc.

Vlad [161]

Explanation:

The static pressure is P = ρgh, where ρ is the density of the fluid and h is the depth.

For the first person:

P = (1000 kg/m³) (9.8 m/s²) (2.3 m)

P = 22,500 Pa

For the second person:

P = (1000 kg/m³) (9.8 m/s²) (3 m)

P = 29,400 Pa

A rocket moves through outer space at 11,000 m/s. At this rate, how much time would be required to travel the distance from Eart
Charra [1.4K]
11,000 m = 11 km

11 km/s over 380,000km

380,000 / 11 = 34545.4 seconds

34545.4 / 60 = 575.7 minutes

A car is moving north on a freeway. If a bug is flying south on the freeway, is the momentum of the bug positive or negative?
faltersainse [42]

Negative

Because the car is moving up and the bug is moving down. but it also depends on the weather so choice between one of those two I think is Negative but I may be wrong.

At the surface of Jupiter's moon Io, the acceleration due to gravity is 1.81m/s2 . A watermelon has a weight of 58.0N at the sur
kvasek [131]

Answer: A) mass on earth surface = 5.91kg

B) mass on surface of jupiter = 5.91kg

C) weight on surface of jupiter = 10.697N

Explanation:

The relationship between weight (W), mass (m) and acceleration due gravity (g) is given below

W=mg

From the question, g= 9.8m/s² and weight on the surface on the earth is 58N

A) The mass of watermelon on earth is

m = 58/ 9.8 = 5.91kg

B) the mass of the watermelon on jupiter is 5.91kg.

You will notice this is the same as the mass of watermelon on earth and that is so because mass is a scalar quantity that does not depends on the distance away from the center of the earth (unlike weight which is a vector) thus making it constant all through any location.

C) mass of watermelon is 5.91kg, g=9.8m/s² weight of watermelon on jupiter is given below as

W = mg

W = 5.91 x 9.8

= 10.697N.
