Atmospheric pressure is caused by the weight of the atmosphere pushing down on itself and on the surface below it.
Pressure is defined as the force acting on an object divided by the area upon witch the force is acting.

_______ associated with energy producing technologies can decrease land fertility

Burka [1]

Answer:

The answer is "Landfill use"

Explanation:

Landfill use associated with energy producing technologies can decrease land fertility.

The purpose of a landfill is to isolate waste from its surrounding environment, preventing water contamination and contact with air. However, landfills are not built to decompose trash

Neon atoms at 245 K pass through a fan that gives each mole of neon gas an additional kinetic energy of 16.0 J. Part A What is t

hjlf

Answer:

246.28 K

Explanation:

The total energy of one mole of gas molecules can be calculated by the formula given below

E = $\frac{3}{2}\times R\times T$

Where R is gas constant and T is absolute temperature.

Put the value of R as 8.314 and temperature as 245 , we get

E = $\frac{3}{2}\times 8.314\times 245$

= 3055.4 J

Add 16 j to it

Total energy of gas molecules = 3055.4 + 16 = 3071.4 J.

If T be the temperature after addition of energy then

$\frac{3}{2}\times 8.314\times T$ = 3071.4

T = $\frac{2\times 3071.4}{3\times 8.314}$

T = 246.28 K

a spaceship is traveling at a speed of 15000 km/s from planet b toward planet a the spaceship sends out a signal with a waveleng

Bumek [7]

Answer: 4nmeter

Explanation: The two observer a and b will measure the same wavelength since the speed of the space craft is very small compared with the speed of light c. That is

V which is the speed of space craft 15000km/s = 15000000m/s

Comparing this with the speed of light c 3*EXP(8)m/s we have

15000000/300000000

= 0.05=0.1

Therefore the speed of the space craft V in terms of the speed of light c is 0.1c special relativity does not apply to object moving at such speed. So the wavelength would not be contracted it will remain same for both observers.

Suppose you are in an elevator. As the elevator starts upward, its speed will increase. During this time when the elevator is mo

kkurt [141]

Answer:increased

Explanation:

It is given that elevator speed is increasing while moving upward i.e.its acceleration is increasing .

This causes the apparent to be increased if measured using weighing machine.

considering upward direction to be positive

N-mg=ma

N=m(g+a)

where N=Normal reaction=Apparent weight

a=acceleration of Elevator

thus you feel as if your weight is increased.
