Even though you are getting closer to the sun as you ascend into the toposphere, why does the temperature drop?

Answer: The lower areas of the Atmosphere have a high temperature through the heats from the ground.

Explanation: High temperature experienced on the Earth surface is majorly caused by heats from the ground ( Earth crust).As a person ascend up to the Toposphere the temperature continues to reduce because because the heat from the ground is reduced as the heights increased.

It has been proven that as a person ascends into the Toposphere the amount of air and pressure reduces this will eventually lead to expansion of the gas particles which will then reduce the temperature.

Explain why the wave model of light cannot explain the energy emissions from a blackbody
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

As the temperature decreases, the peak of the black-body radiation curve moves to lower intensities and longer wavelengths. The black-body radiation graph is also compared with the classical model of Rayleigh and Jeans.

So as you see the wavelengths are in the x axis so all wavelengths are covered.

Black-body radiation provides insight into the thermodynamic equilibrium state of cavity radiation. If each Fourier mode of the equilibrium radiation in an otherwise empty cavity with perfectly reflective walls is considered as a degree of freedom capable of exchanging energy, then, according to the equipartition theorem of classical physics, there would be an equal amount of energy in each mode. Since there are an infinite number of modes this implies infinite heat capacity (infinite energy at any non-zero temperature), as well as an unphysical spectrum of emitted radiation that grows without bound with increasing frequency, a problem known as the ultraviolet catastrophe. Instead, in quantum theory the occupation numbers of the modes are quantized, cutting off the spectrum at high frequency in agreement with experimental observation and resolving the catastrophe. The study of the laws of black bodies and the failure of classical physics to describe them helped establish the foundations of quantum mechanics.

The above explains why the classical assumptions lead to a wrong spectrum.

According to Oxford Dictionaries, a spit take is an act of suddenly spitting out liquid one is drinking in response to something
Tasya [4]

Answer:

The pressure is p_1 = 4051.4 \ Pa

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The gauge pressure at the mouth is  p_1

     The radius of the column is  r_2 =  4 \ mm  =  0.004 \ m

    The speed of the liquid outside the body is  v_2 =  3.1 \ m/s

      The area of the column is  A_2

       The area inside the mouth A_1 = 10 A_2

Generally according to continuity equation

       v_1 A_1 =  v_2 A_2

=>       v_ 1 = v_2 *  \frac{A_2}{A_1}

=>      v_ 1 = 3.1 *  \frac{1}{10}

=>        v_ 1 = 0.31 \ m/s

So

      A_1 = 10A_2

=>   \pi * r_1^2 = 10(\pi * r_2^2)

=>   r_1 = 10 * r_2

substituting values

        r_1 = 10 * 0.004

        r_1 =0.04 \ m

Now the height of inside the mouth is  h_1 =  d =  2r_1 =  2* 0.04 =  0.08\ m

Now the height of the column is  h_2 =  d =  2r_2 =  2* 0.004 =  0.008\ m

Generally according to Bernoulli's  equation

        p_1 =  [\frac{1}{2}  \rho v_2^2 + h_2 \rho g +p_2] -[\frac{1}{2} \rho * v_1^2 + h_1 \rho g ]

Now  \rho =  1000 \ kg m^{-3} which is the density of water

        p_2 is the gauge pressure of the atmosphere which is  zero

 So

       p_1 =  [(0.5 * 1000 * (3.1)^2) +(0.008 * 1000 * 9.8) + 0]-

                                                  [(0.5 * 1000 * 0.31^2) + (0.08*1000 * 9.8)]                          

       p_1 = 4051.4 \ Pa

Which statement accurately describes current electricity?
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

C. It is caused by flowing negatively charged particles.

Explanation:

Current electricity is caused by flowing negatively charged particles. The negatively charged particles that are responsible for the flow of electricity are called electrons.

The force is equal at all points in the field as the field lines are parallel in a uniform field. So, negatively charged particles will move in the opposite direction to the current.

Hence, the correct answer is "C. It is caused by flowing negatively charged particles."

How does jet stream form
barxatty [35]
Even though the wind "tries" to flow from high pressure to low pressure, the turning of the Earth causes the air flow to turn to the right (in the Northern Hemisphere), so the jet stream flows around the air masses, rather than directly from one to the other.
