What do scientists use observations for?

Between noon and 2 pm, the amount of water in the rain gauge decreased.
This can be caused by evaporation, which turns water into water vapor.
Precipitation would increase the amount of rain water in the gauges, not decrease it.
Condensation occurs after evaporation but wouldn't decrease the water in the gauges by itself.
Runoff is when water on land drains into water sources such as lakes, rivers, oceans, etc.
So the answer is A. evaporation.

The Moon is much smaller than Earth but is still made of rock that you could walk on. However, you would need a spacesuit to do

weqwewe [10]

Because there is no oxygen in space and we need oxygen to function so we need the suit to incapsulate us in oxygen so we can respire and so can our skin

What is the smallest radius of an unbanked (flat) track around which a bicyclist can travel if her speed is 22 km/h and the coef

Aleks [24]

First, let's put 22 km/h in m/s:

$22 \frac{km}{h} \times \frac{1000m}{1km} \times \frac{1h}{3600s}=6.11 \frac{m}{s}$

Now the radial force required to keep an object of mass m, moving in circular motion around a radius R, is given by

$F_{rad}=m \frac{v^2}{R}$

The force of friction is given by the normal force (here, just the weight, mg) times the static coefficient of friction:

$F_{fric}= mg \mu_{s}$

Notice we don't use the kinetic coefficient even though the bike is moving. This is because when the tires meet the road they are momentarily stationary with the road surface. Otherwise the bike is skidding.

Now set these equal, since friction is the only thing providing the ability to accelerate (turn) without skidding off the road in a line tangent to the curve:

$m\frac{v^2}{R} = mg \mu_{s} \\ \\ \frac{v^2}{R} = g \mu_{s} \\ \\R= \frac{v^2}{g \mu_{s}} \\ \\ R= \frac{6.11}{9.8 \times 0.37}=1.685m$

An entertainer pulls a table cloth off a table leaving behind the plates and sliverware undisturbed is an example of

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

D. Newton's first law

Explanation:

Newton's first law of inertia says that an object will remain how it is, unless affected by an outside force. In this case, the plates want to remain stationary(not moving). Therefore, if you pull the table cloth fast enough, the force of friction produced will be small enough so that the Inertia of the plates will overcome the force of friction.

Viewed through a spectroscope, the spectral profile of a yellow street lamp has a narrow line in the yellow region of the visibl

muminat

Answer:

discrete lines are observed by the spectroscope, the emission of the lamp is of the ATOMIC source

Explanation:

Bulbs can emit light in several ways:

* When the emission is carried out by the heating of its filament, the bulb is called incandescent, in general its spectrum is similar to that of a black body, this is a continuous spectrum with a maximum dependent on the fourth power of the temperature of the filament.

* The emission can be by atomic transitions, in this case there is a discrete spectrum formed by the spectral lines of the material that forms the gas of the lamp, in general for the yellow emission the most used materials are mercury and sodium or a mixture of they.

Consequently, as discrete lines are observed by the spectroscope, the emission of the lamp is of the ATOMIC type
