How does atmospheric pressure affect the boiling point of a liquid

Physics
1 answer:
Darya [45]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The atmospheric pressure and boiling point are directly proportional

Increasing atmospheric pressure increases the boiling point also

Explanation:

The atmosphere contain molecules that are in constant motion. They exert a downward force on a liquid’s surface. The higher the air pressure, the harder it is for the liquid to evaporate. Therefore, the boiling point of a solvent or liquid is affected by the atmospheric pressure and boiling point is raised.

A liquid in a high pressure environment boils at a higher temperature.

When placed in a lower pressure environment it boils at a lower temperature.

Nutritionists call the calories found in junk food _____ calories due to lack of quality nutrients.
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

empty

Explanation:

Nutritionists call the calories found in junk food empty calories due to lack of quality nutrients.

Empty calories refer to calories derived from foods containing no quality nutrients. These foods are mainly junk food; food that contains high calories derived from fat or sugars and with little or no proteins, fiber, dietary minerals or vitamins. These foods are not healthy as their prolonged consumption can lead to an increased risk of obesity.

A block is given a very brief push up a 20.0 degree frictionless incline to give it an initial speed of 12.0 m/s.(a) How far alo
Orlov [11]

Explanation:

(a)   Net force acting on the block is as follows.

           F_{net} = -mg Sin (\theta)

or,           ma = -mg Sin (\theta)[/tex]

                 a = -g Sin (\theta)

                    = -9.8 \times Sin (20^{o})

                    = -3.35 m/s^{2}

According to the kinematic equation of motion,

             v^{2} - v^{2}_{o} = 2as

Distance traveled by the block before stopping is as follows.

     s = \frac{v^{2} - v^{2}_{o}}{2a}

        = \frac{(0)^{2} - (12.0)^{2}_{o}}{2 \times -3.35}

        = 21.5 m

According to the kinematic equation of motion,

               v = v_{o} + at

      0 = 12.0 m/s + \frac{1}{2} \times -3.35 m/s^{2} \times t

   t_{1} = 7.16 sec

Therefore, before coming to rest the surface of the plane will slide the box till 7.16 sec.

(b)    When the block is moving down the inline then net force acting on the block is as follows.

                 F_{net} = -mg Sin (\theta)

                ma = mg Sin (\theta)

                    a = g Sin (\theta)

                       = 9.8 m/s^{2} \times Sin (20^{o})

                       = 3.35 m/s^{2}

Kinematics equation of the motion is as follows.

                   s = v_{o}t + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}

      21.5 m = 0 + \frac{1}{2} \times 3.35 m/s^{2} \times t^{2}

     t_{2} = \sqrt{\frac{2 \times 21.5 m}{3.35 m/s^{2}}}

             = 3.58 sec

Hence, total time taken by the block to return to its starting position is as follows.

               t = t_{1} + t_{2}

                 = 7.16 sec + 3.58 sec

                 = 10.7 sec

Thus, we can conclude that 10.7 sec time it take to return to its starting position.

You are in a spacecraft moving at a constant velocity. The front thruster rocket fires incorrectly, causing the craft to slow do
Alchen [17]

Answer:

It continue to move forward at a constant velocity which will be slower than before the front thruster was fired.

Explanation:

Before the front thruster was fired, the spacecraft was already moving at a particular velocity.

After the malfunction, the front thruster is fired and then the force exerted by that front thruster slows the spacecraft down, as we are told.

By using the rear thruster to exert a force equal to that from the front thrusters, a force equal in magnitude to that of the front thrusters is added, cancelling out the effect of the front thrusters. Because the spacecraft is already moving at a slower speed at this point compared to the beginning, it continues to move at that speed.

Why does the area around the equator stay about the same temperature year round?
Verdich [7]
Axial Tilt and Sun Energy

This axial tilt means that during the Earth's journey around the sun the poles receive varying amounts of sunlight. The equator, however, receives relatively consistent sunlight all year. The consistency of energy means the equator's temperature stays relatively constant all year.
