How do you think density plays a role in the atmosphere?

Physics
1 answer:
Feliz [49]3 years ago
4 0
Answer:
Also, gases like air are easily compressed. The weight of all the air above a given point in the atmosphere squeezes air molecules closer together. This causes the density to increase. The more air above a level (and hence the more weight of air above a level), the greater the compression.

An egg is thrown nearly vertically upward from a point near the cornice of a tall building. The egg just misses the cornice on t
diamong [38]

Answer:

1. 18.5m/s

2. 17.5 m

3. 0 at its highest point

4. Direction is downwards

Explanation:

1. This egg is thrown vertically from a height

Yo = 0. This egg then falls to the point y = -30.0 at t = 5seconds

Y-Yo = V0t - 1/2gt²

-30-0 = V0(5)-1/2(9.8)(5²)

-30 = 5v0 - 4.9x25

-30 = 5V0 - 122.5

-30+122.4 = 5v0

V0 = 92.5/5

= 18.5m/s

<em><u>this </u></em><em><u>is </u></em><em><u>the </u></em><em><u>initial</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>speed</u></em><em><u> of</u></em><em><u> the</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>egg</u></em>

2. When the egg is at a maximum height it would have a velocity equal to 0

V² = V0² - 2*g*y

V = 0, V0 = 18.5, g = 9.8

0 = 18.5²-2x9.8*y

342.25-19.6y = 0

342.25 = 19.6y

Divide through by 19.6

Y = 342.25/19.6

Y = 17.5m

<em><u>this value is how high it rises above starting point</u></em>

3.

The magnitude of velocity is = 0 at its highest point

4.

This egg falls under gravity. Therefore the acceleration due to gravity has a constant magnitude and direction. Magnitude = 9.8m/s and it's direction is downwards.

In an experiment different wavelengths of light, all able to eject photoelectrons, shine on a freshly prepared (oxide-free) zinc
topjm [15]

Answer:

the energy of the photons is greater than the work function of the zinc oxide.

                     h f> = Ф

Explanation:

In this experiment on the photoelectric effect, it is explained by the Einstein relation that considers the light beam formed by discrete energy packages.

                    K_max = h f - Ф

in the exercise phase, they indicate that different wavelengths can inject electrons, so the energy of the photons is greater than the work function of the zinc oxide.

                     h f > = Ф

How will heat flow between objects?
alukav5142 [94]
Without an external agent doing work, heat will always flow from a hotter to a cooler object. Two objects of different temperature always interact. There are three different ways for heat to flow from one object to another. They are conduction, convection, and radiation.

A professional boxer hits his opponent with a 1035 N horizontal blow that lasts 0.175 s. The opponent's total body mass is 120 k
12345 [234]

Answer:

(a) vf = 1.51 m/s

(b) vf = 36.22 m/s

Explanation:

The rate of change of momentum is equal to the force:

F = \frac{mv_f-mv_i}{t}

Ft = m(v_f-v_i)

where,

F = Force = 1035 N

t = time = 0.175 s

vi = initial speed = 0 m /s

vf = final speed = ?

(a)

m = mass of body = 120 kg

Therefore,

(1035\ N)(0.175\ s)=(120\ kg)(v_f - 0\ m/s)\\\\v_f = \frac{181.125\ Ns}{120\ kg} \\\\

<u>vf = 1.51 m/s</u>

<u></u>

(b)

m = mass of head = 5 kg

Therefore,

(1035\ N)(0.175\ s)=(5\ kg)(v_f - 0\ m/s)\\\\v_f = \frac{181.125\ Ns}{5\ kg} \\\\

<u>vf = 36.22 m/s</u>

Solids are often defined as having a definite shape, while gases and liquids have no definite shape. This can best be explained
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

c

Explanation:

the reason is that solids have a definite shape because of less energy moving they are still moving but liquids and gases move a lot more than a solid they are not ORDERED into position right it is because of the energy movement in the object.
