Earth’s atmosphere is in hydrostatic equilibrium. What this means is that the pressure at any point in the atmosphere must be hi

gh enough to support the weight of air above it. How would you expect the pressure on Mt. Everest to differ from the pressure in your classroom? Explain why.

Answer: The pressure that one experiences on the Mount Everest will be different from the one, in a classroom. It is because pressure and height are inversely proportional to each other. This means that as we move up, the height keeps on increasing but the pressure will keep on decreasing. This is the case that will be observed when one stands on the Mount Everest as the pressure is comparatively much lower there.

It is because as we move up, the amount of air molecules keeps on decreasing but all of the air molecules are concentrated on the lower part of the atmosphere or on the earth's surface.

Thus a person in a low altitude inside a classroom will experience high pressure and a person standing on the Mount Everest will experience low pressure.

Diagnostic ultrasound of frequency 4.50 MHz is used to examine tumors in soft tissue. (a) What is the wavelength in air of such
mafiozo [28]

(a) 7.62 \times 10^{-5} m is the wavelength in air of such a sound wave.

(b) 3.33 \times 10^{-4}\ m is the wavelength of this wave in tissue.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Frequency and wavelength can be related by the equation,

              Velocity = Wavelength x Frequency

              v=\lambda \times f

where,

v - velocity of light for all EM (electromagnetic) waves in vacuum

Given:

f - 4.50 MHz = 4.50 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{Hz}

a) To find the wavelength in air

We know,

Speed of sound in air = 343 m/s

Apply given frequency and speed of sound in air, we get

        \lambda=\frac{v}{f}=\frac{343}{4.5 \times 10^{6}}=76.2 \times 10^{-6}=7.62 \times 10^{-5}\ \mathrm{m}

b) If the speed of sound in tissue is 1500 m/s, find the wavelength of this wave in tissue

Speed of sound in tissue, v = 1500 m/s

        \lambda=\frac{v}{f}=\frac{1500}{4.5 \times 10^{6}}=333.33 \times 10^{-6}=3.33 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{m}

A mole of water molecules would just about fill a
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

B. tablespoon

Explanation:

Considering the question given, a mole of water is small compare to the options given from the question aside the table spoon.

A mole of water is just 18g and that's equivalent to 18 mL.

18 mL of water will fill a table spoon but not a cup which is about 237mL. The wheel barrow and gallon bucket have larger volumes of which 18 mL of water will never fill them.

So, a mole of water can successfully fill a table spoon.
