Answer;

A. orographic lifting

Explanation;

Orographic lifting is a process that takes place when an air mass is forced from a low elevation to a higher elevation as it moves over rising terrain.

This can be explained by; When air is blocked by mountains, it cannot go through these mountains, As it ascends or moves up the mountain, the air then cools as it rises and when it cools to its saturation point, the water vapor condenses and cloud forms.

These clouds formed are known as orographic clouds, that develop in response to the lifting forced by the topography the earth.

Nope.
Energy is directly proportional to frequency. and when you calculate energy, you multiply frequency with a constant number called "Planck's Constant"

How efficient is a pulley system if it enables you to lift a 600.0 Newton engine 0.600 meters if you exerted 35.7 Newtons of for

muminat

Answer:

η = 0.882 = 88.2 %

Explanation:

The efficiency of the pulley system can be given as follows:

$\eta = \frac{W_{out}}{W_{In}}\\\\$

where,

η = efficiency of pulley system = ?

W_out = Output Work = (600 N)(0.6 m) = 360 J

W_in = Input Work = (35.7 N)(11.43 m) = 408.051 J

Therefore,

$\eta = \frac{360\ J}{408.051\ J}$

η = 0.882 = 88.2 %

A sample of chloroform is found to contain 12.0 g of carbon, 106.4 g of chlorine, and 1.01 g of hydrogen. If a second sample of

GREYUIT [131]

Given:

Sample 1:

Chloroform is $CHCl_{3}$

12 g Carbon

1.01 g Hydrogen

106.4 g Cl

Sample 2:

30.0 g of Carbon

Solution:

mass of chloroform from sample 1:

12 + 1.01 +106.4 =119.41 g

Now, for the total mass of chloroform in sample 2:

mass of chloroform $\times$ $\frac{given mass of carbon}{mass of carbon atom}$

mass of chloroform = 119.41 $\times$ $\frac{30}{12}$ = 298.53 g

Could someone please explain to me Archimede's principle without using the term displace (or at least explaining what it means)?

disa [49]

Does this help?

When an object is immersed in a fluid (in this case water, but may include both liquids and gases) the fluid exerts an upward force on the object which is called buoyancy force or up-thrust. Archimedes’ Principle states that the buoyant force (upward push or force) applied to an object is equal to the weight of the fluid that the object takes the space of by that object. Thus when an object is placed in water the rise in the water level is dictated by the mass of that object.

So for example if you fill a bucket with water and you drop a stone in that bucket, if you measure the weight of the water that overflows from the bucket due to the stone being dropped into the bucket is equivalent to the pushing force that the water has on the stone (as the stone drops to the bottom of the bucket the water is pushing it to stay afloat but the rock is more dense than water and as such its downthrust exceeds water's upthrust).
