Why is it hard to breathe when you go higher up

1 answer:

8 0

When we breathe in air at sea level, the atmospheric pressure of about 14.7 pounds per square inch (1.04 kg. per cm.2) causes oxygen to easily pass through selectively permeable lung membranes into the blood. At high altitudes, the lower air pressure makes it more difficult for oxygen to enter our vascular systems.

hope this helps :)

Find the angle for the third-order maximum for 591 nm wavelength light falling on a diffraction grating having 1460 lines per ce

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

15.32°

Explanation:

We have given the wavelength $\lambda =591nm=591\times 10^{-9}m$

Diffraction grating is 1460 lines per cm

So $d=\frac{10^{-2}}{1460}=6.71\times 10^{-6}m$ (as 1 m=100 cm )

For maximum diffraction

$dsin\Theta =m\lambda$ here m is order of diffraction

So $6.71\times 10^{-6}sin\Theta =3\times 591\times 10^{-9}$

$sin\Theta =0.264$

$\Theta =15.32^{\circ}$

How much energy is stored in a 2.80-cm-diameter, 14.0-cm-long solenoid that has 200 turns of wire and carries a current of 0.800

ozzi

Answer:

The energy stored in the solenoid is 7.078 x 10⁻⁵ J

Explanation:

Given;

diameter of the solenoid, d = 2.80 cm

radius of the solenoid, r = d/2 = 1.4 cm

length of the solenoid, L = 14 cm = 0.14 m

number of turns, N = 200 turns

current in the solenoid, I = 0.8 A

The cross sectional area of the solenoid is given as;

$A = \pi r^2\\\\A = \pi (0.014)^2\\\\A = 6.16*10^{-4} \ m^2$

The inductance of the solenoid is given by;

$L = \frac{\mu_0 N^2A}{l} \\\\L = \frac{(4\pi*10^{-7})(200^2)(6.16*10^{-4})}{0.14}\\\\L = 2.212*10^{-4} \ H$

The energy stored in the solenoid is given by;

E = ¹/₂LI²

E = ¹/₂(2.212 x 10⁻⁴)(0.8)²

E = 7.078 x 10⁻⁵ J

Therefore, the energy stored in the solenoid is 7.078 x 10⁻⁵ J

When a solid is placed in a container and heat is applied, a phase change occurs. Watch the video and identify which of the foll

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

a) false b) true c) true d) false and e) true

Explanation:

a) false. All the energy applied is used for the phase change, so the temperature remains constant.

b) true. The kinetic energy is associated with the speed of the particles and they have more mobility in the liquid, therefore, more kinetic energy.

c) true. Since energy is used for state change

d) false. In general, mobility and temperature are proportional

e) true. Heat is the source of energy for the change of state

Which best describes a difference between laser light and regular light?

Inga [223]

The basic difference is that the ordinary sources are incoherent that means that the discrete frequencies merge up to give an intermediate between the maximum and minimum frequencies. While the laser is coherent containing the single frequency with maximum amplitude. thus travelling far.

5th Grade. Please help! SC standards

lesantik [10]

The answer would be D) The tropical convection region because the states below SC are all tropical and the current would go up to SC. I hope this helps.
