Answer:

This can spread their weight.

Explanation:

The ladder has a much larger surface area than the firefighter. Hence, his weight is spread out much more than usual, decreasing the pressure on the ice, preventing the ice from breaking/cracking.

Hope this helped!

The micrometer (1 μm) is often called the micron. (a) How many microns make up 3.0 km? (b) How many centimeters equal 3.0 μm? (c

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

3 x 10⁻⁹km

3 x 10⁻⁴cm

2.73 x 10⁶μm

Explanation:

A micron is a subunit of measurement usually for length dimensions.

1μm = 1 x 10⁻⁶m

a. How many microns make up 3km;

Now convert to meter first;

1000m = 1km

So, 3km will be made up of 3000m

So;

1 x 10⁻⁶m = 1μm

3000m = $\frac{3000}{1 x 10^{-6} }$ = $\frac{3 x 10^{3} }{ 1 x 10^{-6} }$ = 3 x 10⁻⁹km

b. How many centimeters equal 3.0 μm?

Since;

1μm = 1 x 10⁻⁶m

3μm = 3 x 1 x 10⁻⁶ = 3 x 10⁻⁶m

So;

100cm = 1m;

1m = 100cm

3 x 10⁻⁶m = 3 x 10⁻⁶ x 10² = 3 x 10⁻⁴cm

c. How many microns are in 3.0 yd?

1yd = 0.91m

3yd = 3 x 0.91 = 2.73m

So;

1 x 10⁻⁶m = 1μm

2.73m will give $\frac{2.73}{1 x 10^{-6} }$ = 2.73 x 10⁶μm

jasenka [17]

Well, I think it kinda depends on how long the "extended period" is.

If the extended period is a week, a month, or a few months,
then I'd call it a 'cold wave'.

If the extended period is like 100 years or more, then you're
starting to talk 'ice age'.

A helium balloon is filled to a volume of 2.88 x 103 L at 722 mm Hg and 19Â°C. When the balloon is released, it rises to an alti

inn [45]

Answer:

V₂=4.57 x 10³ L

Explanation:

Given that

V₁= 2.88 x 10³ L

P₁=722 mm Hg

T₁ = 19°C

T₁ =292 K

P₂=339 mm Hg

T₂= - 55°C

T₂=218 K

Lets take final volume = V₂

We know that ideal gas equation

PV = m R T

By applying mass conservation

$\dfrac{P_1V_1}{RT_1}=\dfrac{P_2V_2}{RT_2}$

$\dfrac{722\times 2.88\times 10^3}{292}=\dfrac{339\times V_2}{218}$

V₂=4.57 x 10³ L

Therefore volume will be 4.57 x 10³ L
