Answer: The Sun

Explanation:

Water cycle describes the evaporation of water from Earth's surface, formation of clouds and precipitation water back onto the surface of Earth. Seventy percent of the Earth is covered with water in the form of seas and oceans. <u>The heat of the Sun </u>causes the evaporation of water from the surface of the ocean. The water vapors rise and condense to form water droplets. The collection of these water droplets form clouds which rain down again.

The evaporation of the oceans surface water as part of the water cycle is caused by <u>the Sun</u>

Pikes Peak near Denver, Colorado, has an elevation of 14,110 ft. Calculate the pressure at this elevation using three different
kramer

Answer:

a) P = 1240 lb/ft^2

b) P = 1040 lb/ft^2

c) P = 1270 lb/ft^2

Explanation:

Given:

- P_a = 2216.2 lb/ft^2

- β = 0.00357 R/ft

- g = 32.174 ft/s^2

- T_a = 518.7 R

- R = 1716 ft-lb / slug-R

- γ = 0.07647 lb/ft^3

- h = 14,110 ft

Find:

(a) Determine the pressure at this elevation using the standard atmosphere equation.

(b) Determine the pressure assuming the air has a constant specific weight of 0.07647 lb/ft3.

(c) Determine the pressure if the air is assumed to have a constant temperature of 59 oF.

Solution:

- The standard atmospheric equation is expressed as:

                           P = P_a* ( 1 - βh/T_a)^(g / R*β)

                          (g / R*β) = 32.174 / 1716*0.0035 = 5.252

                            P = 2116.2*(1 - 0.0035*14,110/518.7)^5.252

                            P = 1240 lb/ft^2

- The air density method which is expressed as:

                            P = P_a - γ*h

                            P = 2116.2 - 0.07647*14,110

                            P = 1040 lb/ft^2

- Using constant temperature ideal gas approximation:

                            P = P_a* e^ ( -g*h / R*T_a )

                            P = 2116.2* e^ ( -32.174*14110 / 1716*518.7 )

                            P = 1270 lb/ft^2

The ________ on the axis (c2) forms a pivot point with the atlas (c1) that allows you to nod a "no."
grandymaker [24]
The dens or the odontoid process of the axis or the second cervical spine forms a pivot point with the atlas or the first cervical vertebrae that is responsible for the nodding and the rotational movements of the head. This is reinforced by ligaments and the atlanto-occipital joint that allows the head to make a nodding or up and down movement on the vertebral column.
