Answer:

Wind comes from pressure and temperature differences.

Explanation:

Have you ever opened a window on a hot day to let a breeze in? What is happening is a rush of air to balance out temperatures. This goal for uniformity is why ice melts in a glass of warm coffee and air rushes out of a balloon.

Answer:

Wind forms when the sun heats one part of the atmosphere differently than another part. This causes expansion of warmer air, making less pressure where it is warm than where it is cooler. Air always moves from high pressure to lower pressure, and this movement of air is wind.

Charge Q is distributed uniformly throughout the volume of an insulating sphere of radius R = 4.00 cm. At a distance of r = 8.00

Elena L [17]

Answer:

$2.62898\times 10^{-6}\ C/m^3$

$1979.99974\ N/C$

Explanation:

k = Coulomb constant = $8.99\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2$

Q = Charge

r = Distance = 8 cm

R = Radius = 4 cm

Electric field is given by

$E=\dfrac{kQ}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow Q=\dfrac{Er^2}{k}\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{990\times 0.08^2}{8.99\times 10^{9}}\\\Rightarrow Q=7.04783\times 10^{-10}\ C$

Volume charge density is given by

$\sigma=\dfrac{Q}{\dfrac{4}{3}\pi R^3}\\\Rightarrow \sigma=\dfrac{7.04783\times 10^{-10}}{\dfrac{4}{3}\pi (0.04)^3}\\\Rightarrow \sigma=2.62898\times 10^{-6}\ C/m^3$

The volume charge density for the sphere is $2.62898\times 10^{-6}\ C/m^3$

$E=\dfrac{kQr}{R^3}\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{8.99\times 10^9\times 7.04783\times 10^{-10}\times 0.02}{0.04^3}\\\Rightarrow E=1979.99974\ N/C$

The magnitude of the electric field is $1979.99974\ N/C$

What is a Pulley why is it used

aleksley [76]

Answer:

A simple pulley is a wheel with a rope that allows you to pull one end and have it lift whatever is on the other end. A modern, common example of this is a crane, often used in construction.

Lincoln weighs 400 newtons. What’s his mass rounded to the nearest kilogram? Assume that acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 N/kg

Yanka [14]

Weight equals mass times gravitational acceleration=400N, so mass=400/9.8=41kg approx.

rs. Rushing fills a balloon with hydrogen gas to demonstrate its ability to burn. Which combination could she use to produce the

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Mg and HCl

Explanation:

Here, we want to get the combination that could be used in the production of the needed hydrogen

An important chemical property of inorganic acids is that when they react with metals, they give off hydrogen gas in conjunction with the formation of a salt

HCl is a mineral acid while Mg is a metallic substance

So the reaction between this metal and the mineral acids will give the needed hydrogen gas to be produced

Calculate the percent error of the distanc

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

5.25%

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Accepted value = 238857 miles

Measured value = 226316 miles

Percentage error =.?

Next, we shall determine the absolute error. This can be obtained as follow:

Accepted value = 238857 miles

Measured value = 226316 miles

Absolute Error =?

Absolute Error = |Measured – Accepted|

Absolute Error = |226316 – 238857|

Absolute Error = 12541

Finally, we shall determine the percentage error. This can be obtained as follow:

Accepted value = 238857 miles

Absolute Error = 12541

Percentage error =.?

Percentage error = absolute error / accepted value × 100

Percentage error

= 12541 / 238857 × 100

= 1254100 / 238857

= 5.25%

Therefore, the percentage error is 5.25%.
