The resource speaks of the atmosphere as if it were living, in the sense that as the earth's surface is heated by the light from

the sun, it is heated unequally and as a result of this unequal heating of the surface, air and water begin to move around in "an effort to accomplish something."

Shtirlitz [24]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

The uneven heating causes temperature differences, which in turn cause air currents (wind) to develop, which then move heat from where there is more heat (higher temperatures) to where there is less heat (lower temperatures). The atmosphere thus becomes a giant "heat engine", continuously driven by the sun.

Wind is the result of pressure changes in the atmosphere due to temperature.

Part complete How long must a simple pendulum be if it is to make exactly one swing per five seconds?
shtirl [24]

Answer:

L=6.21m

Explanation:

For the simple pendulum problem we need to remember that:

\frac{d^{2}\theta}{dt^{2}}+\frac{g}{L}sin(\theta)=0,

where \theta is the angular position, t is time, g is the gravity, and L is the length of the pendulum. We also need to remember that there is a relationship between the angular frequency and the length of the pendulum:

\omega^{2}=\frac{g}{L},

where \omega is the angular frequency.

There is also an equation that relates the oscillation period and the angular frequeny:

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T},

where T is the oscillation period. Now, we can easily solve for L:

(\frac{2\pi}{T})^{2}=\frac{g}{L}\\\\L=g(\frac{T}{2\pi})^{2}\\\\L=9.8(\frac{5}{2\pi})^{2}\\\\L=6.21m

Janet is an environmental scientist studying how the behavior of humans in urban areas affects the surrounding natural environme
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

<em>For this case we have that by definition, the social sciences group all the scientific disciplines whose object of study is linked to the activities and behavior of human beings. The social sciences, therefore, analyze the manifestations of society, both material and symbolic.</em>

The surrounding natural environment is an environment that is mostly social. Therefore, using, using the mentioned definition, we need to consulate a social scientist.

This person can give information about the behavior of humans in social areas.

Then, Janet can get help from a social scientist.

Two balls are thrown against a wall. Ball 1 has a much higher speed than ball 2.
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Let both the balls have the same mass equals to m.

Let v_1 and v_2 be the speed of the ball1 and the ball2 respectively, such that

v_1>v_2\;\cdots(i)

Assuming that both the balls are at the same level with respect to the ground, so let h be the height from the ground.

The total energy of ball1= Kinetic energy of ball1 + Potential energy of ball1. The Kinetic energy of any object moving with speed, v, is \frac 12 m v^2

and the potential energy is due to the change in height is mgh [where g is the acceleration due to gravity]

So, the total energy of ball1,

=\frac 12 m v_1^2 + mgh\;\cdots(ii)

and the total energy of ball1,

=\frac 12 m v_2^2 + mgh\;\cdots(iii).

Here, the potential energy for both the balls are the same, but the kinetic energy of the ball1 is higher the ball2 as the ball1 have the higher speed, refer equation (i)

So, \frac 12 m v_1^2 >\frac 12 m v_2^2

Now, from equations (ii) and (iii)

The total energy of ball1 hi higher than the total energy of ball2.
