A portion of the atmosphere that becomes warmer than surrounding air will ____.

1 answer:

3 0

<span>A portion of the atmosphere that becomes warmer than surrounding air will expand and rise. The warmer atmosphere the more space between the molecules. Therefore, warmer atmosphere </span><span>expands to allow more space for the molecules. Cool air on the other hand, contracts because the molecules in cool air need less space.</span>

A skier of mass 60 kg is pulled up a slope by a motor-driven cable. (a) How much work is required to pull him 75 m up a 30° slop

postnew [5]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of skier=60 kg

distance traveled by skier=75 m

inclination $(\theta )=30^{\circ}$

speed (v)=2.4 m/s

as the skier is moving up with a constant velocity therefore net force is zero

$F_{net}=0$

Force applied by cable $=mg\sin \theta$

$F=60\times 9.8\times \sin (30)=294 N$

work done $=F\cdot x$

$W=294\cdot 75=22.125 J$

(b)Power $=F\cdot v$

$P=294\cdot 2.4=705.6 W\approx 0.946 hp$

What is the change in potential energy if the distance separating the electron and proton is increased to 1.0 nm?

Vlada [557]

Answer:

$Ep=-2.3*10^{-19}J$

Explanation:

The change in potential energy can be expressed as:

$Ep=K.\frac{q1.q2}{r}$

where K is a constant with a value of $9*10^{9}\frac{N.m^{2}}{C^{2}}$ , q1 and q2 are the charges of the proton and the electron and r is the distance between them.

The charge for the proton is $+1.6*10^{-19}C$ and the charge for the electron is $-1.6*10^{-19}C$ .

Converting r=1.0nm to m:

$1.0nm*\frac{1*10^{-9}m}{1.0nm}=1*10^{-9}m$

Replacing values:

$Ep=9*10^{9}\frac{N.m^{2}}{C^{2}}.\frac{(+1.6*10^{-19}C).(-1.6*10^{-19}C)}{1*10^{-9}m}$

$Ep=-2.3*10^{-19}J$

The fulcrum is between the effort and the load

Inessa05 [86]

Class 1 lever

Explanation:

In a class 1 lever, the fulcrum is placed between the effort and the load. This lever systems is the most common.

The effort is the force input and the load is the force output
The fulcrum is a hinge between the load and effort.
Movement of the effort and load are in opposite directions.
There are other classes of lever like the class 2 and 3.
They all have different load, fulcrum and effort configurations

Describe the differences among ultraviolet waves, visible light waves, and infrared waves. how are these waves alike?

sergeinik [125]

Our eyes are detectors which are designed to detect visible light waves (or visible radiation). ... The electromagnetic spectrum includes gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet, visible, infrared, microwaves, and radio waves. The only difference between these different types of radiation is their wavelength or frequency.

The sunspot cycle is a pattern of solar activity where the average number of sunspots gradually _______________________________

zzz [600]

Answer:

option D

Explanation:

Sunspots are the spot that appears on the sun, this spot appears darker than the surrounding surface of the sun.

Sun magnetic field goes through a cycle and this cycle is called the Sunspot cycle. Every 11 years the magnetic field of the sun completely flips. This sunspot cycle affects activity on the surface of the sun.

Sunspot cycle is the pattern of solar activity where an average number of sunspot gradually increase and decrease.

Hence, the correct answer is option D
