The elevation might be higher causing more rain

Answer:

It's because the moisture in the air condenses much quicker at a higher elevation. When the air condenses, rain clouds are formed. The side the air comes from is called the windward side, which is where there is more rainfall.

Initially when 1000.00 mL of water at 10oC are poured into a glass cylinder, the height of the water column is 1000.00 mm. The w

Answer:

$\mathbf{h_2 =1021.9 \ mm}$

Explanation:

Given that :

The initial volume of water $V_1$ = 1000.00 mL = 1000000 mm³

The initial temperature of the water $T_1$ = 10° C

The height of the water column h = 1000.00 mm

The final temperature of the water $T_2$ = 70° C

The coefficient of thermal expansion for the glass is ∝ = $3.8*10^{-6 } mm/mm \ per ^oC$

The objective is to determine the the depth of the water column

In order to do that we will need to determine the volume of the water.

We obtain the data for physical properties of water at standard sea level atmospheric from pressure tables; So:

At temperature $T_1 = 10 ^ 0C$ the density of the water is $\rho = 999.7 \ kg/m^3$

At temperature $T_2 = 70^0 C$ the density of the water is $\rho = 977.8 \ kg/m^3$

The mass of the water is $\rho V = \rho _1 V_1 = \rho _2 V_2$

Thus; we can say $\rho _1 V_1 = \rho _2 V_2$ ;

⇒ $999.7 \ kg/m^3*1000 \ mL = 977.8 \ kg/m^3 *V_2$

$V_2 = \dfrac{999.7 \ kg/m^3*1000 \ mL}{977.8 \ kg/m^3 }$

$V_2 = 1022.40 \ mL$

$v_2 = 1022400 \ mm^3$

Thus, the volume of the water after heating to a required temperature of $70^0C$ is 1022400 mm³

However; taking an integral look at this process; the volume of the water before heating can be deduced by the relation:

$V_1 = A_1 *h_1$

The area of the water before heating is:

$A_1 = \dfrac{V_1}{h_1}$

$A_1 = \dfrac{1000000}{1000}$

$A_1 = 1000 \ mm^2$

The area of the heated water is :

$A_2 = A_1 (1 + \Delta t \alpha )^2$

$A_2 = A_1 (1 + (T_2-T_1) \alpha )^2$

$A_2 = 1000 (1 + (70-10) 3.8*10^{-6} )^2$

$A_2 = 1000.5 \ mm^2$

Finally, the depth of the heated hot water is:

$h_2 = \dfrac{V_2}{A_2}$

$h_2 = \dfrac{1022400}{1000.5}$

$\mathbf{h_2 =1021.9 \ mm}$

Hence the depth of the heated hot water is $\mathbf{h_2 =1021.9 \ mm}$

The answer is below

Explanation:

$\frac{v-u}{a} =t\\\\Making \ v\ the \ subject\ of\ formula:\\\\First \ cross-multiply:\\\\v-u=at\\\\add\ u\ to \ both\ sides:\\\\v-u+u=at+u\\\\v=u+at$

$\frac{y-x^2}{x}=3z\\ \\Making\ y\ the\ subject\ of\ formula:\\\\First \ cross \ multiply:\\\\y-x^2=3xz\\\\y=3xz+x^2\\\\y=x(x+3z)$

$x+xy=y\\\\Making\ x\ the\ subject\ of\ formula:\\\\x(1+y)=y\\\\Divide\ through\ by\ 1+y\\\\\frac{x(1+y)}{1+y} =\frac{y}{1+y} \\\\x=\frac{y}{1+y}$

$x+y=xy\\\\Making\ x\ the\ subject\ of\ formula:\\\\Subtract\ x\ from \ both\ sides:\\\\x+y-x=xy-x\\\\y=xy-x\\\\y=x(y-1)\\\\Divide\ through\ by \ y-1\\\\\frac{y}{y-1} =\frac{x(y-1)}{y-1}\\ \\x=\frac{y}{y-1}$

$x=y+xy\\\\Making\ x\ the\ subject\ of\ formula:\\\\Subtract\ xy\ from \ both\ sides:\\\\x-xy=y+xy-xy\\\\x-xy=y\\\\x(1-y)=y\\\\Divide\ through\ by \ 1-y\\\\\frac{x(1-y)}{1-y} =\frac{y}{1-y}\\ \\x=\frac{y}{1-y}$

$E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2-\frac{1}{2}mu^2\\ \\Making\ u\ the\ subject \ of\ formula:\\\\Multiply \ through\ by \ 2\\\\2E=mv^2-mu^2\\\\mu^2=mv^2-2E\\\\Divide\ through\ by\ m:\\\\u^2=\frac{mv^2-2E}{m}\\ \\Take\ square\ root\ of \ both\ sides:\\\\u=\sqrt{\frac{mv^2-2E}{m}}$

$\frac{x^2}{a^2}-\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1\\ \\Making\ y\ the\ subject \ of\ formula:\\\\\frac{x^2}{a^2}-1=\frac{y^2}{b^2}\\\\Multiply\ through\ by\ b^2\\\\b^2(\frac{x^2}{a^2} -1)=y^2\\\\Take\ square\ root\ of\ both\ sides:\\\\y=\sqrt{b^2(\frac{x^2}{a^2} -1)}$

$ay^2=x^3\\\\Make\ y\ the\ subject\ of\ formula:\\\\Divide\ through\ by\ a:\\\\y^2=\frac{x^3}{a}\\ \\Take\ square\ root\ of\ both\ sides:\\\\y=\sqrt{\frac{x^3}{a}} \\$
