What causes differences in air pressure around the Earth?

1 answer:

7 0

Wind is primarily driven by differences in air pressure. These variations in air pressure are due to temperature differences caused by variations in solar energy received at the surface of the Earth.

A young kid of mass m = 36 kg is swinging on a swing. The length from the top of the swing set to the seat is L = 3.5 m. The boy

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of boy=36 kg

length of swing=3.5 m

Let T be the tension in the swing

At top point $mg-T=\frac{mv^2}{r}$

where v=velocity needed to complete circular path

Th-resold velocity is given by $mg-0=\frac{mv^2}{r}$

$v=\sqrt{gr}=\sqrt{9.8\times 3.5}=5.85 m/s$

So apparent weight of boy will be zero at top when it travels with a velocity of $v=\sqrt{gr}$

To get the velocity at bottom conserve energy at Top and bottom

At top $E_T=mg\times 2L+\frac{mv^2}{2}$

Energy at Bottom $E_b=\frac{mv_0^2}{2}$

Comparing two as energy is conserved

$v_0^2=4gl+gl$

$v_0^2=5gL$

$v_0=\sqrt{5gL}=13.09 m/s$

Apparent weight at bottom is given by

$W=\frac{mv_0^2}{L}-mg=\frac{36\times 13.09^2}{3.5}+36\times 9.8=2115.23 N$

A humanoid skeleton is found buried in the ashes of a volcano that erupted between 10,000 and 12,000 years ago. when scientists

Inga [223]

From reliable sources in the internet, the half-live of carbon-14 is given to be 5,730 years. In a span of 10,000 to 12,000 years, there are almost or little more than 2 half-lives. Thus, there should be
A(t) = A(0)(1/2)^t
where t is the number of half-lives, in this case 2. Thus, only about 1/4 of the original amount will be left.

A 100-kg spacecraft is in a circular orbit about Earth at a height h = 2RE .

maria [59]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of the Gravitational Force and the centripetal force by equilibrium,

$F_g = F_c$

$\frac{GmM}{r^2} = \frac{mv^2}{r}$

Where,

m = Mass of spacecraft

M = Mass of Earth

r = Radius (Orbit)

G = Gravitational Universal Music

v = Velocity

Re-arrange to find the velocity

$\frac{GM}{r^2} = \frac{v^2}{r}$

$\frac{GM}{r} = v^2$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}$

PART A ) The radius of the spacecraft's orbit is 2 times the radius of the earth, that is, considering the center of the earth, the spacecraft is 3 times at that distance. Replacing then,

$v = \sqrt{\frac{(6.67*10^{-11})(5.97*10^{24})}{3*(6.371*10^6)}}$
