Explain why the types of technology valued can vary.

Over time, the types of technology can vary and be improved upon so that more advanced techniques become more valued. This could be the situation with mining whereby back in the 1500's in underground mines the rock was broken by fire setting ie lighting a fire below the rock face to heat up the rock and then throwing cold water on it to crack it, so that it could be dug by hand. With the advent of explosives, this all changed so that the rock could be blasted. The increase in advance rates for an underground heading have thus gone from 5-20 feet per month to up to 300meters (984 ft) per month for a 24/7 mining operation, which is a huge improvement.

ANSWER: Over the years, technology has advanced a lot and has made our lives simpler. We have been seen technological advancements in almost everywhere starting from our workplace to our homes and also at streets.

A classic example of technological advancement can be how people communicate to each other. People previously had only the option of railroads for traveling purposes to distant places. Later, with the introduction of airline industry, people started traveling across countries for many reasons like for business meetings, meeting a relative etc. The entire crowd of business travelers shifted to other technological innovation to save their precious time and money. The technology that replaced the need to travel far across countries was Video Conferencing. A huge number of business travelers opted for this innovation in technology. This advancement also suppressed the cell phone industry which only allowed voice calls at that time.

Also, people used to write mails and used to send telegrams. The telephone came into scenario and gave people an option to communicate faster which previously used to take days to send a message. Then in the 1990's, the email was introduced and gave everyone a platform to send instant and free messages. This gained popularity in 1996-97 with Hotmail services. Later on, it got updated with instant messaging services across the globe like Whatsapp services. Thus, this is how technology varies and are valued accordingly by their usage in that era and the types of technologies grew independently in their respective fields and replaced the outdated ones.

Explain why air masses do not mix
kati45 [8]

 

Different densities have to have a reason - different pressure and/or humidity etc. If there is a different pressure, there is a mechanical force that preserves the pressure difference: think about the cyclones that have a lower pressure in the center. The cyclones rotate in the right direction and the cyclone may be preserved by the Coriolis force.

If the two air masses differ by humidity, the mixing will almost always lead to precipitation - which includes a phase transition for water etc. It's because the vapor from the more humid air mass gets condensed under the conditions of the other. You get some rain. In general, intense precipitation, thunderstorms, and other visible isolated weather events are linked to weather fronts.

At any rate, a mixing of two air masses is a nontrivial, violent process in general. That's why the boundary is called a "front". In the military jargon, a front is the contested frontier of a conflict. So your idea that the air masses could mix quickly and peacefully - whatever you exactly mean quantitatively - either neglects the inertia of the air, a relatively low diffusion coefficient, a low thermal conductivity, and/or high latent heat of water vapor. A front is something that didn't disappear within minutes so pretty much tautologically, there must be forces that make such a quick disappearance impossible.

How much work does a student (m = 60 kg) do when he Climb a tower 80 m high?
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

W = 47040  J

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a student, m = 60 kg

Height of the tower, h = 80 m

We need to find the work done in climbing the tower. The work done is given by :

W = mgh

So,

W = 60 × 9.8 × 80

W = 47040  J

So, the required work done is 47040  J.

Calculate the momentum of a 1800 kg elephant charging a hunter at a speed of 7.50 m/s.
liq [111]

The amount of movement, linear momentum, momentum or momentum is a physical quantity derived from a vector type that describes the movement of a body in any mechanical theory. In classical mechanics, the amount of movement is defined as the product of body mass and its velocity at a given time.

p= mv

Where,

m = mass

v = Velocity

Our values are given as,

m = 1800kg

v = 7.5m/s

Replacing we have that,

p = (1800)(7.5)

p = 13500kg\cdot m/s

Therefore the momentum is 13500kg\cdot m/s
