Because there are miles of air on top of you and air has mass so all the mass of the air on top of you is on your head and the ground. (the air can't penetrate the ground)

Take note: Air is also denser at sea level because it was compressed.

Hello!

Because as you get closer to the surface of the earth, the more air that is on top of you. At the top of the atmosphere, there is less air, and everything is a vacuum, where you have no weight. When you get close to the earth, the weight of the air builds until it when you're at the very lowest point of the earths surface, all the air in the atmosphere above you is pressing down.

Thank You!

A wave of infrared light has a speed of 6 m/s and a wavelength of 12 m. What is the frequency of this wave?
givi [52]
I'll be happy to solve the problem using the information that
you gave in the question, but I have to tell you that this wave
is not infrared light.

If it was a wave of infrared, then its speed would be close
to 300,000,000 m/s, not 6 m/s, and its wavelength would be
less than 0.001 meter, not 12 meters.

For the wave you described . . .

             Frequency  =  (speed)  /  (wavelength)

                                 =  (6 m/s)  /  (12 m)

                                 =      0.5 / sec

                                 =      0.5 Hz .  

(If it were an infrared wave, then its frequency would be
greater than 300,000,000,000 Hz.)

What is the magnitude of the torque that the axle must apply to prevent the disk from rotating?
mihalych1998 [28]

The required torque at the axle, is given by the difference between the

moments of the applied forces.

The torque required is <u>19.62 N·m counterclockwise</u>

Reasons:

The given parameters are;

Mass of the disk, m = 5.0 kg

Location of the axle = Half the radius of the disk

Diameter of the disk, D = 40 cm = 0.4 m

Applied mass, 0.1 m from the axle = 15 kg

Applied mass, 0.3 m from the axle = 10 kg

Required:

Magnitude of torque at the axle that prevent the disk from rotating

Solution:

Torque needed = Clockwise moment - Counterclockwise moment

Clockwise moment = (10 kg × 0.3 m + 5 kg × 0.1 m) × 9.81 m/s² = 34.335 N·m

Counterclockwise moment = 15 kg × 0.1 m  × 9.81 m/s² = 14.715 N·m

τ + Counterclockwise moment = Clockwise moment

τ + 14.715 N·m = 34.335 N·m

Torque required, τ = 34.335 N·m - 14.715 N·m = 19.62 N·m

Torque required, τ = <u>19.62 N·m counterclockwise</u>

Why are bathroom tiles usually rough
Aleks04 [339]
-- Bathroom tiles are usually cool, so water condenses on them
when you take a hot bath or shower in the room. 

-- The natural result is that a smooth tile would become slippery,
exactly when you're walking around with wet feet and nothing on them ...
a dangerous situation.

-- In order to circumvent this safety hazard, the tiles in the bathroom
should be rough, especially on the floor.
