Answer:
I would say d I had the same question yesterday and I got it correct so hope that helps
In general, the Earth releases energy back to the atmosphere through reflection, evaporation, and radiation. The Earth gets energy from the sunlight, part of which it absorbs, while part it reflects backwards, thus giving energy to the atmosphere. Also, the heating up of the Earth by the absorbed sunlight, radiates back in the lower layers of the atmosphere, again giving back energy to it. The water vapor is another way in which the Earth gives back energy tot he atmosphere as through the evaporation, the water vapor gets into the lower parts of the atmosphere and gives energy to it.
Answer:
- Distance is a scalar quantity, defined as the total amount of space covered by an object while moving between the final position and the initial position. Therefore, it depends on the path the object has taken: the distance will be minimum if the object has travelled in a straight line, while it will be larger if the object has taken a non-straight path.
- Displacement is a vector quantity, whose magnitude is equal to the distance (measured in a straight line) between the final position and the initial position of the object. Therefore, the displacement does NOT depend on the path taken, but only on the initial and final point of the motion.
If the object has travelled in a straight path, then the displacement is equal to the distance. In all other cases, the distance is always larger than the displacement.
A particular case is when an object travel in a circular motion. Assuming the object completes one full circle, we have:
- The distance is the circumference of the circle
- The displacement is zero, because the final point corresponds to the initial point
Answer:
For a gas held at constant temperature, we can apply Boyle's law, which states that the product between the gas pressure and its volume is constant:
where
P is the pressure
V is the volume
As we see from the equation, P and V are inversely proportional to each other: this means that when the volume is decreased, the pressure increases, and vice-versa. The reason for that is that when the volume is decreased, the gas is compressed, so the molecules of the gas come closer to each other, so they collide more frequently with the wall of the container, exerting therefore a greater pressure.
True
I think the statement is true
