Answer: False.

Explanation: The Earth rotates once per day in direction from East to West. The rotation of the Earth daily is responsible for day and night experienced, the areas of the Earth facing the Sun experiences day time while the areas of the Earth away from the Sun in the Earth's shadow experiences night time.

While the revolution of the Earth around the gives rise to a year, as it takes 365 days for the Earth to go round the sun.

The volume occupied by a sample of gas is 480 mL when the pressure is 115 kPa.What pressure must be applied to the gas to make i

balandron [24]

Answer:

The answer is

Explanation:

Using Boyle's law to find the final pressure

That's

$P_1V_1 = P_2V_2$

where

P1 is the initial pressure

P2 is the final pressure

V1 is the initial volume

V2 is the final volume

Since we are finding the final pressure

$P_2 = \frac{P_1V_1}{V_2}$

From the question

P1 = 115 kPa

V1 = 480 mL

V2 = 650 ml

So we have

$P_2 = \frac{115000 \times 480}{650} = \frac{55200000}{650} \\ = 84923.076923...$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

A child's top is held in place upright on a frictionless surface. The axle has a radius of ????=3.21 mm . Two strings are wrappe

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

Angular momentum, $L=6.47\times 10^{-3}\ m$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Radius of the axle, $r=3.21\ mm=3.21\times 10^{-3}\ m$

Tension acting on the top, T = 3.15 N

Time taken by the string to unwind, t = 0.32 s

We know that the rate of change of angular momentum is equal to the torque acting on the torque. The relation is given by :

$\tau=\dfrac{dL}{dt}$

Torque acting on the top is given by :

$\tau=F\times r$

Here, F is the tension acting on it. Torque acting on the top is given by :

$\tau=2F\times r$

$2T\times r=\dfrac{L}{t}$

$L=2T\times r \times t$

$L=2\times 3.15\times 3.21\times 10^{-3}\times 0.32$

$L=6.47\times 10^{-3}\ m$

So, the angular momentum acquired by the top is $6.47\times 10^{-3}\ m$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

Hurricanes are especially destructive because of the abrupt decrease in air pressure that they bring with the winds. Consider a

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

2.96 × 10^4 N

Explanation:

1 atm = 101325 N/m², pressure inside the airtight room = 1.02 atm, pressure outside due to hurricane = 0.91 atm

net pressure directed outward = P inside - P outside

net pressure = 1.02 - 0.91 = 0.11 atm

where 1 atm = 101325N/m²

0.11 atm = 0.11 × 101325 N/m² = 11145.75 N/m²

area of the square wall = l × l where l is the length of the wall in meters = 1.63 × 1.63 = 2.6569

net pressure = net force / area

make net force subject of the formula

net force = net pressure × area = 11145.75 × 2.6569 = 2.96 × 10 ^4 N

Which statement is not a good practice when working inside a computer case?

lozanna [386]

Answer:

a. be sure to hold expansion cards by the edge connectors

Explanation:

Removal of loose jewelry is a good safety practice. Also not touching a microchip with a magnetized screwdriver is also a good practice.

But holding expansion cards by the edge connectors is not a good practice, so it is the odd one in the question. Therefore answer option a provides the correct and best answer to the question

Cloudy nights are usually warm because

almond37 [142]

Answer:

When you have a cloudy night, the clouds prevent heat from escaping through the atmosphere and into space.

The clouds act like a blanket and trap the heat it, and that is why every time you have a cloudy night, it is always warmer than a clear night.
