Answer: We live at the bottom of a gaseous envelope the atmosphere--that is bound gravity to the planet Earth. The circulation of our atmosphere is a complex process because of the Earth's rotation and the tilt of its axis. The Earth's axis is inclined 23.5° from the ecliptic, the plane of the Earth's orbit around the Sun. Due to this inclination, vertical rays of the Sun strike 23.5° N. latitude, the Tropic of Cancer, at summer solstice in late June. At winter solstice, the vertical rays strike 23.5° S. Latitude, the Tropic of Capricorn. In the Northern Hemisphere, the summer solstice day has the most daylight hours, and the winter solstice has the fewest daylight hours each year. The tilt of the axis allows differential heating of the Earth's surface, which causes seasonal changes in the global circulation. On a planetary scale, the circulation of air between the hot Equator and the cold North and South Poles creates pressure belts that influence weather. Air warmed by the Sun rises at the Equator, cools as it moves toward the poles, descends as cold air over the poles, and warms again as it moves over the surface of the Earth toward the Equator. This simple pattern of atmospheric convection.
Answer:
The answer is true.
Explanation:
The deeper you go the more water there's on top of you pushing down.
Answer:86
Explanation: to find atomic mass you take the number of protons and the number of neutrons. therefore you take the 40 protons and the 46 neutrons to find the mass. :)
Answer:
When <em>a scientist on Earth drops a hammer and a feather at the same time an astronaut on the moon drops a hammer and a feather, the result</em> expected is that <em>the hammer hits the ground before the feather on Earth, and the hammer and feather hit at the same time on the moon (option D).</em>
Explanation:
In the abscence of atmosphere (vacuum), the objects fall in free fall. This is, the only force acting on the objects is the gravitational pull, which is directed vertlcally downward.
Under such absecence of air, the equations that rules the motion are:
- V = Vo + gt
- d = Vo + gt² / 2
- Vf² = Vo² + 2gd
As you see, all those equations are independent of the mass and shape of the object. This explains why <em>when an astronaut on the moon drops a hammer and a feather at the same time</em>, <em>the hammer and feather hit at the same time on the moon</em>, a space body where the gravitational attraction is so small (approximately 1/6 of the gravitational acceleration on Earth) that does not retain atmosphere.
On the other hand, the air (atmosphere) present in Earth will exert a considerable drag force on the feather (given its shape and small mass), slowing it down, whereas, the effect of the air on the hammer is almost neglectable. In general and as an approximation, the motion of the heavy bodies that fall near the surface is ruled by the free fall equations shown above, so, <em>the result </em>that is<em> expected when a scientist on Earth drops a hammer and a feather at the same time is that the hammer hits the ground before the feather</em>.
Answer:
The correct order of increasing vapor pressure: Z,Y,X
Explanation:
It is given that the normal boiling point order of three liquids is:
Normal Boiling point is defined as the temperature at which the vapor pressure becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure.
Vapor pressure is the pressure exerted by vapor on the surface of liquid.Hence it increases with tendency of vapor formation.
High boiling point implies that high energy is required to convert the liquid into vapor state and hence the vapor pressure reaches atmospheric pressure at higher temperatures.
Low boiling point implies that the liquid gets easily boiled at a low temperature and converts into vapor with ease and hence exert high vapor pressure.
Bottom line is vapor pressure decreases as boiling point increases at STP.
Hence the order of increasing vapor pressure is Z,Y,X
