Buildings are more dense than the surrounding air. This means that they have more _____ per volume than the air and will stay on

the ground instead of floating up into the atmosphere.

Zinaida [17]2 years ago

Answer:

<em>mass</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Density is the measure of how much mass of a substance is squeezed into a given volume of that substance. <em>It is the mass per unit volume</em>, and substances with lesser density will float in materials with denser density. Buildings are generally more obviously denser that air, if not we'll see then float upwards into the atmosphere, but that is not the case. Different liquids too can separate and form layers on one another due to their differences in volume.

A jet airliner moving initially at 548 mph
sasho [114]

Let's choose the "east" direction as positive x-direction. The new velocity of the jet is the vector sum of two velocities: the initial velocity of the jet, which is

v_1 =548 mph along the x-direction

v_2 = 343 mph in a direction 67^{\circ} north of east.

To find the resultant, we must resolve both vectors on the x- and y- axis:

v_{1x}= 548 mph

v_{1y}=0

v_{2x} = (343 mph)( cos 67^{\circ})=134.0 mph

v_{2y} = (343 mph)( sin 67^{\circ})=315.7 mph

So, the components of the resultant velocity in the two directions are

v_{x}=548 mph+134 mph=682 mph

v_{y}=0 mph+315.7 mph=315.7 mph

So the new speed of the aircraft is:

v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}=\sqrt{(682 mph)^2+(315.7 mph)^2}=751.5 mph

At the normal boiling temperature of iron, TB = 3330 K, the rate of change of the vapor pressure of liquid iron with temperature
Margaret [11]

The molar latent enthalpy of boiling of iron at 3330 K is  ΔH = 342 \times 10^3 J.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Molar enthalpy of fusion is the amount of energy needed to change one mole of a substance from the solid phase to the liquid phase at constant temperature and pressure.

                      d ln p = (ΔH / RT^2) dt

                   (1/p) dp = (ΔH / RT^2) dt

                    dp / dt = p (ΔH / RT^2) = 3.72 \times 10^-3

                  (p) (ΔH) / (8.31) (3330)^2 = 3.72 \times 10^-3

                          ΔH = 342 \times 10^3 J.

asambeis [7]
Alfred Wegener believed that all of the continents were originally attached! By looking at the map, you can see that Africa and South America look like they were once joined. This 'super continent' was known as Pangaea. He also found fossils that proved his point.
Hope this helps :)

iragen [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

vi = 200/5 = 40 m/s

a = (vf - vi)/t = (60 - 40)/20 = 1 m/s²

F = ma = 2000(1) = 2000 N
