A gas exerts less pressure when it has a

1 answer:

4 0

The molecules are continually colliding with each other and with the walls of the container. When a molecule collides with the wall, they exert small force on the wall The pressure exerted by the gas is due to the sum of all these collision forces.The more particles that hit the walls, the higher the pressure.

In the following figure, if AB ǁ CD, then find the measure of PCD and CPD.

mina [271]

Answer:

$CPD = 80$

$PCD = 44$

Explanation:

Given

$AB || CD$

$BAD = 56$

$CPA = 100$

See attachment

Required

Determine PCD and CPD

First, we need to calculate CPD

Since DPA is a straight line and CPA = 100;

We have that:

$CPA + CPD = 180$ --- angle on a straight theorem

Substitute 100 for CPA

$100 + CPD = 180$

Subtract 100 from both sides

$100-100 + CPD = 180-100$

$CPD = 80$

Next, we calculate PCD

We have that:

$DAB= ADC = 56$ --alternate angle

In triangle PCD

$PCD + CPD + PDC = 180$ --- angles in a triangle

Where

$PDC = ADC = 56$

So, we have:

$PCD +80 + 56 = 180$

$PCD +136 = 180$

Subtract 136 from both sides

$PCD = 180 - 136$

$PCD = 44$

Which of the following statements is true about earth's magnetic poles

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer: b) they are the areas where Earth's magnetic field is weakest

Explanation:

According to classical physics, a magnetic field always has two associated magnetic poles (north and south), the same happens with magnets. This is because for classical physics, naturally, magnetic monopoles can not exist.

In this context, Earth is similar to a magnetic bar with a north pole and a south pole. This means, the axis that crosses the Earth from pole to pole is like a big magnet.

Now, by convention, on all magnets the north pole is where the magnetic lines of force leave the magnet and the south pole is where the magnetic lines of force enter the magnet. Then, for the case of the Earth, the north pole of the magnet is located towards the geographic south pole and the south pole of the magnet is near the geographic north pole.

Being the magnetic poles the places where the Earth's magnetic field is weakest. And it is for this reason, moreover, that the magnetic field lines enter the Earth through its magnetic south pole (which is the geographic north pole).

A worker pushes a box with a horizontal force of 40.0 N over a level distance of 4.0 m. If a frictional force of 27 N acts on th

Lorico [155]

Work = (force) x (distance)

The worker does (40N) x (4m) = 160 joules of work.

Friction eats up (27N) x (4m) = 108 joules of that energy,
generating 108 joules of heat.

The remaining (160J - 108J) = 52 joules of energy moves the box.

If you were to apply a force of 15N to a medicine ball with a mass of 10kg, what would its acceleration be

tresset_1 [31]

One of the equations for force is: Force = mass × acceleration.

The force and mass are given and so:

F=15N

m=10kg

By plugging in these values we obtain:

$F=ma\\\\15=10(a)\\$

$\frac{15}{10}=\frac{10(a)}{10}\\\\a=\frac{15}{10}=1.5m/s^2$

So the acceleration is a=1.5m/s^2

A weather reporter describes a large area of air that has the same temperature and air pressure . What is the reporter describin

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

air mass

Explanation:

Remember, the weather of a particular location is often a description of the atmospheric condition of that particular place.

Indeed, the definition of an air mass fits the reporter's description above. As the name implies, a particular air mass would represent the temperature characteristics of a particular area that has a constant or the same temperature and air pressure.
