Explanation:

Water evaporates from the surface of the earth and through the leaves of the plants and trees by absorbing the heat energy from the surrounding.

This water then converts into vapour and goes up into the atmosphere where the temperature is low in the troposphere and condenses to form the clouds. During the cloud formation the heat form the vapour is absorbed in the troposphere.

These clouds when get saturated then fall in the form of precipitation of water, snow etc. Replenishing back the water of the earth.

A person just supports a mass of 20kg suspended from a rope.

Georgia [21]

Answer:

F = 200 N

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass suspended from the rope, m = 20 kg

We need to find the resultant force acting on the rope. The resultant force on the rope is equal to its weight such that,

F = mg

Where

g is acceleration due to gravity

Put all the values,

F = 20 kg × 10 m/s²

F = 200 N

So, the resultant force on the mass is 200 N.

Glycerin is poured into an open U-shaped tube until the height in both sides is 20cm. Ethyl alcohol is then poured into one arm

Liula [17]

Answer:

7.5 cm

Explanation:

In the figure we can see a sketch of the problem. We know that at the bottom of the U-shaped tube the pressure is equal in both branches. Defining $\rho_A:$ Ethyl alcohol density and $\rho_G:$ Glycerin density , we can write:

$\rho_A\times g \times h_1 + \rho_G \times g \times h_2 = \rho_G \times g \times h_3$

Simplifying:

$\rho_A\times h_1 = \rho_G \times (h_3 - h_2) (1)$

On the other hand:

$h_1 + h_2 = \Delta h + h_3$

Rearranging:

$h_1 - \Delta h = h_3 - h_2 (2)$

Replacing (2) in (1):

$\rho_A\times h_1 = \rho_G \times (h_1 - \Delta h)$

Rearranging:

$\frac{h_1 \times (\rho_A - \rho_G)}{- \rho_G} = \Delta h$

Data:

$h_1 = 20 cm; \rho_A = 0.789 \frac{g}{cm^3}; \rho_G = 1.26 \frac{g}{cm^3}$

$\frac{20 cm \times (0.789 - 1.26) \frac{g}{cm^3}}{- 1.26\frac{g}{cm^3}} = \Delta h$

$7.5 cm = \Delta h$

Discuss why Wolpert says we have a brain.

ycow [4]

Answer:

“We have a brain for one reason and one reason only, and that's to produce adaptable and complex movements,” stated Wolpert, Director of the Computational and Biological Learning Lab at the University of Cambridge. ... The evidence for this is in how well we've learned to mimic our movements using computers and robots.
