Is vapor pressure independent of atmospheric pressure? - This is what my instructor told me, but I don't understand why. ...?

Vapor pressure or equilibrium vapor pressure is defined as the pressure exerted by a vapor in thermodynamic equilibrium with its condensed phases at a certain temperature. It is independent with atmospheric pressure since it does not change by changing the atmospheric pressure only.

Calculate the electric field at the center of a square

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

$E_y=1175510.2\ N.C^{-1}$

The Magnitude of electric field is in the upward direction as shown directly towards the charge $q_1$ .

Explanation:

Given:

side of a square, $a=52.5\ cm$

charge on one corner of the square, $q_1=+45\times 10^{-6}\ C$

charge on the remaining 3 corners of the square, $q_2=q_3=q_4=-27\times 10^{-6}\ C$

Distance of the center from each corners $=\frac{1}{2} \times diagonals$

$diagonal=\sqrt{52.5^2+52.5^2}$

$diagonal=74.25\cm=0.7425\ m$

∴Distance of center from corners, $b=0.3712\ m$

Now, electric field due to charges is given as:

$E=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\times \frac{q}{b^2}$

For charge $q_1$ we have the field lines emerging out of the charge since it is positively charged:

$E_1=9\times 10^9\times \frac{45\times 10^{-6}}{0.3712^2}$

$E_1=2938775.5\ N.C^{-1}$

Force by each of the charges at the remaining corners:

$E_2=E_3=E_4=9\times 10^9\times \frac{27\times 10^{-6}}{0.3712^2}$

$E_2=E_3=E_4=1763265.3\ N.C^{-1}$

Now, net electric field in the vertical direction:

$E_y=E_1-E_4$

$E_y=1175510.2\ N.C^{-1}$

Now, net electric field in the horizontal direction:

$E_y=E_2-E_3$

$E_y=0\ N.C^{-1}$

So the Magnitude of electric field is in the upward direction as shown directly towards the charge $q_1$ .

The wave length of violet light rounded to the nearest nanometer is a __ nm

nataly862011 [7]

Wavelength= speed / frequency

so.....3× 10^8 / 7.26×10^14
= .413× 10^(-6)

in scientific notation= 4.13×10^(-7)

in nanometer = 413 nm

How are weather satellites and weather stations similar?

alexandr402 [8]

Weather satellites and weather stations are similar, because they both have the same purpose. They are used to help predict future weather as well as as current conditions. The satellites are viewing the weather from a distance at a large scope, but stations are using data they collect on earth to help with the same task.
