Why is salt water a better conductor of electricity than river water?

Physics
1 answer:
Tamiku [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: The conductivity of water depends on the concentration of dissolved ions in solution. ... This is because the Sodium Chloride salt dissociates into ions. Hence sea water is about a million times more conductive than fresh water.

Which describes the greenhouse effect? 1. Earth continues to get warmer over time because it is slowly moving closer to the sun.
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer: The green house effect is best described by option 4 (Energy given off by earth is reflected off of earth's atmosphere back down to the surface).

Explanation:

The green house effect can be described as the energy given off by earth is reflected off of earth's atmosphere back down to the surface.

When energy from the sun passes through the atmosphere, some are absorbed which keeps the earth surface warm. While the rest is reflected back largely by cloud.

The energy which is emitted from the earth surface is called the infrared radiation. Some of the infrared radiation passess through the atmosphere but most is absorbed and re- emitted in all directions by the greenhouse gas molecules and clouds. This effect warms the earth surface and the lower atmosphere. Therefore this statement (Energy given off by earth is reflected off of earth's atmosphere back down to the surface) is correct about greenhouse effect.

For the greenhouse effect to occur, greenhouse gas molecules are mostly needed. Examples of these gases include:

--> Carbon dioxide (CO2),

--> Water vapor (H2O), and

--> Methane (CH4)

Over the years, the excessive human activities has lead to increase in the greenhouse gas molecules which has negatively affected the greenhouse effects.

Changes in behavior of managers, coworkers, and subordinates can be a warning sign before a layoff. True or false
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is - true.

Explanation:

Changes in the higher authorities or managers or coworkers can be a warning sign before a layoff, however, a company or organization needs to give an official notice before a particular time period before the layoff.

The layoff is a temporary suspension or permanent termination from the employment of an employee due to reasons related to business such as reducing manpower or staff and less work in the organization. These reasons can lead to a change in the behavior of the managers, coworkers, and subordinates.

A ball thrown horizontally at vi = 30.0 m/s travels a horizontal distance of d = 55.0 m before hitting the ground. from what hei
tekilochka [14]
Assume no air resistance, and g = 9.8 m/s².

Let
x =  angle that the initial velocity makes with the horizontal.
u = 30 cos(x), horizontal velocity
v = 30 sin(x), vertical launch velocity

The horizontal distance traveled is 55 m, therefore the time of flight is
t = 55/[30 cos(x)] = 1.8333 sec(x)  s

With regard to the vertical velocity, and the time of flight,obtain
[30 sin(x)]*(1.8333 sec(x)) + (1/2)*(-9.8)*(1.8333 sec(x))² = 0
 55 tan(x) - 16.469 sec²x = 0
55 tan(x) - 16.469[1 + tan²x] = 0
16.469 tan²x - 55 tan(x) + 16.469 = 0
tan²x - 3.3396 tan(x) + 1 = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula.
tan(x) = 0.5[3.3396 +/- √(7.153)] = 3.007 or 0.3326
Therefore
x = 71.6° or x = 18.4°

The time of flight is
t = 1.8333 sec(x) = 5.8096 s or 1.932 s
The initial vertical velocity is
v = 30 sin(x) = 28.467 m/s or 9.468 m/s
The horizontal velocity is
u = 30 cos(x) = 9.467 m/s or 28.469 m/s

If t = 5.8096 s,
  u*t = 9.467*5.8096 = 55 m (Correct)
or
 u*t = 28.469*15.8096 = 165.4 m (Incorrect)

Therefore, reject x = 18.4°. The correct solution is
t = 5.8096 s
x = 71.6°
u = 9.467 m/s
v = 28.467 m/s

The height from which the ball was thrown is
h = 28.467*5.8096 - 0.5*9.8*5.8096² = -110.4 m
The ball was thrown from a height of 110.4 m

Answer: h = 110.4 m
