Answer:

The amount of water in circulation is the same

Explanation:

The water cycle is the pathway in which water moves from the atmosphere to the earth and back to atmosphere ones again.

During the sunny period, the temperature of the earth is heated up, water evaporates to the atmosphere as water vapour. The water vapour gathers as cloud and comes back to the earth as rain, which enters our rivers and stream. Thereby maintaining a continuous cycle.

With the water cycle, the movement of water via precipitation and evaporation is the same on earth.

A ball, which has a mass of 1.25 kg, is thrown straight up from the top of a building 225 meters tall with a velocity of 52.0 m/

Elena-2011 [213]

First we will find the speed of the ball just before it will hit the floor

so in order to find the speed of the cart we will first use energy conservation

$KE_i + PE_i = KE_f + PE_f$

$\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 + mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 + 0$

$\frac{1}{2}(1.25)(52)^2 + 1.25(9.8)(225) = \frac{1}{2}(1.25)v_f^2$

So by solving above equation we will have

$v_f = 84.3 m/s$

now in order to find the momentum we can use

$P = mv$

$P = 1.25 \times 84.3$

$P = 105.4 kg m/s$

A spherical shell with a net charge of 3Q surrounds a point charge of -q at the center of the shell. The charges on the inner an

aleksley [76]

Answer:

1) The charge on the outer shell is +4·Q

2) The charge on the inner shell is +Q

Explanation:

1) The given parameters of the spherical shell are;

The net charge on the spherical shell = 3·Q

The point charge surrounded by the spherical shell = -Q

Let 'x' represent the charge on the outer shell, and let 'y', represent the charge on the inner shell, we have;

The net charge, 3·Q = -q + x

∴ x = 3·Q + Q = 4·Q

The charge on the outer shell, x = 4·Q

2) The net charge in the shell is zero, therefore, the charge on the inner shell, 'y', is given as follows;

-Q + y = 0

∴ y = +Q

The charge on the inner shell, y = +Q

Wave-particle duality tells us that wave and particle models apply to all objects whatever the size, so why don't we observe wav

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Because the wavelengths of macroscopic objects are too short for them to be detectable.

Explanation:

Wavelength of an object is given by de Broglie wavelength as:

$\lambda=\frac{h}{mv}$

Where, 'h' is Planck's constant, 'm' is mass of object and 'v' is its velocity.

So, for macroscopic objects, the mass is very large compared to microscopic objects. As we can observe from the above formula, there is an inverse relationship between the mass and wavelength of the object.

So, for vary larger masses, the wavelength would be too short and one will find it undetectable. Therefore, we don't observe wave properties in macroscopic objects.
