What would happen if water could not condense in the atmosphere

-- As more water evaporated from lakes, rivers, ponds, and people, the
water vapor in the atmosphere would build up and build up and build up,
until the atmosphere could not hold any more water vapor. 

-- The water would stay there in the atmosphere.  There would never be
any more rain, sleet, hail, fog, drizzle, mist, or snow.

-- Rivers flow out of lakes and ponds, carrying lake water to the sea. 
Rain keeps the lakes refilled. 
   The lakes would eventually dry out as the rivers drained them, and then
the rivers would run dry.  It would be the end of trees, forests, and farming.

-- At the instant when the atmosphere became full of all the water vapor
it could hold, all evaporation on Earth would stop. 

. . . . . When you washed the dishes, you could leave them standing in the
drainer rack for a week, but they would never dry.

. . . . . You could hang up your bath towel and the laundry in your room or
in the back yard, but it would never dry.

. . . . . When you boiled a pot of water on the stove, I'm not sure exactly
what would happen, but I know that the steam could not just rise from
the pot and disappear.  The atmosphere couldn't absorb it, so I guess
it would be this dense cloud of boiling hot fog that would rise from the pot
and fill the kitchen.  If you walked through it, it would swirl and drift around.
Eventually it would settle on the walls, and when the droplets got big enough,
they would run down the walls and make puddles on the floor.

. . . . . It would be pretty bad for people and animals.  We generate a lot of heat
inside our bodies, and we get rid of the heat by perspiring.  Moisture comes
out of our skin and evaporates into the air, which takes heat with it. 
   If the atmosphere was full with as much water vapor as it could hold, then
perspiration could not evaporate.  We would ALWAYS be walking around
in 100% humidity, with water running off of our skin onto the floor.  The only
way we could cool ourselves would be to pour cold water on ourselves. 
Anybody who didn't do that every couple of minutes would pass out from
heat exhaustion, as his inside temperature got too high.

Our dogs don't even perspire.  The only way they can get rid of heat is to
make their tongues wet and then blow air over it.  That's why when they
run, or when the weather is hot, they drink a lot and pant fast.  The water
evaporating from their tongues is the only way they can get rid of heat. 
If the atmosphere could not take any evaporation, then our dogs would
probably stop moving around at all, and just lay around all day, drinking
cold water.

In short, I think it's accurate to say that if condensation of water in the
atmosphere stopped, then evaporation would stop, and it would only be
a matter of time before life on Earth stopped.

It will happen to cause that the water will be returned back and it will not be evaporated, etc, look into the carbon cycle or water cycle for your answer

For the circuit shown in (Figure 1), find the potential difference between points a and b. Each resistor has
Lynna [10]

The potential difference between points a and b is zero.

<h3>Total emf of the series circuit</h3>

The total emf in the circuit is the sum of all the emf in the circuit.

emf(total) = 1.5 + 1.5 = 3.0 V

<h3>Potential difference</h3>

The potential difference between two points, a and b is calculated as follows;

V(ab) = Va - Vb

V(ab) = 1.5 - 1.5

V(ab) = 0

Thus, the potential difference between points a and b is zero.

A thermally isolated system is made up of a hot piece of aluminum and a cold piece of copper; the aluminum and the copper are in
butalik [34]

Answer:

copper will have more change in temperature as compare with aluminum

Explanation:

Hot piece of copper is made in contact with cold piece of aluminium

So here thermal energy transfer will take place from copper to aluminium

so by energy conservation we can say that heat given by copper is same as the heat absorbed by aluminium.

now we have

m_1s_1\Delta T_1 = m_2s_2\Delta T_2

here we know that

s_1 = specific heat capacity of copper

s_2 = specific heat capacity of aluminum

given that specific heat capacity of aluminium is more than double that of copper

so we can say

s_2 = 2s_1

so here if the mass of copper and aluminium is same then

\Delta T_1 = 2 \Delta T_2

so temperature change of copper is twice the temperature change of aluminium

So copper will have more change in temperature as compare with aluminum

We know the frequency range of certain sounds are: 400-560 Hz, what are the ranges of wavelength in meters when the signal trans
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

Range of wavelength will be 5.35\times 10^5m to 7.5\times 10^5m

Explanation:

We have given range of frequency is 400-560 Hz

Speed of the light c=3\times 10^8m/sec

We have to find the range of the wavelength of signal transmitted

Ween know that velocity is given by v=\lambda f, here \lambda is wavelength and f is frequency

So for 400 Hz frequency wavelength will be \lambda =\frac{c}{f}=\frac{3\times 10^8}{400}=7.5\times 10^5m

And wavelength for frequency 560 Hz \lambda =\frac{c}{f}=\frac{3\times 10^8}{560}=5.35\times 10^5m

So range of wavelength will be 5.35\times 10^5m to 7.5\times 10^5m

A 200g block on a 50cm long string swings in a circle, it's frictionless and 75rpm. What is its speed and tension on string
krek1111 [17]
Angular velocity = (75x2pie)/60
                          =2.5pie ras^-1 
linear velocity(or speed) at end of string, v = radius x angular velocity
                                                           v= 0.5 x 2.5pie
                                                           v=3.93 ms^-1

tension of string (I beleve is centeral force aplied by string), F= (mv^2)/r
                                                                                      F= (0.2 x 3.93^2)/0.5
                                                                                      F=6.18 N
(sorry if wrong)
