How do sea surface temperatures affect evaporation rate?

1 answer:

<span>Answer: The temperature doesn't affect the evaporation rate, but affects on how much of water a parcel of air can contain when saturated which is known by the absolute humidity. Hurricanes are usually happening when the temperature of the sea water west of the Cape Verde islands is over 27 degrees Celsius. If ahead of the path of a hurricane, the sea water temperature drops then it will be less moisture in the air and perhaps the hurricane will fade out. But it is not as simple. How strong a tropical storm is is relative to the difference of temperture between ground level and the top of the troposphere. The greater the difference, the faster the air will rise and the deeper the pressure will be, forcing surrounding air to rush in, thus forming a hurricane force wind. Then there is the fact that the wet adiabatic lapse rate is about half that of dry air. It means that rising moist air cools down slower and therefore rises higher. Hence water is the true fuel of bad weather. But it can't be isolated from the fact that the difference of temperature must be great too. What we often forget is that the tropopause (the border to the stratosphere) is much higher over the equator and therefore, much colder than e.g. the poles.</span>

Bohr's model for the hydrogen atom has been used by other atoms with a single electric charge by changing the number of charges by the charge of the new atom (atomic number)

$E_{n}$ = k e² / 2a₀ (1 /n²)

ao = h'² / k m e² h' = h/2πi

For another atom with a single electron in the last layer

a₀ ’= h’² / k m (Ze)²

a₀ ’= a₀ / Z²

Therefore, when replacing in the equation

$E_{n}$ = - Z² Eo/n²

E₀ = 13,606 eV

The transition occurs when the electron stops from one level to another

$E_{n}$ - $E_{m}$ = Z² E₀ (1 / n² - 1 / m²) = Z² ΔE

Let's relate this expression to the wavelength

c = λ f

E = h f

E = h c /λ

h c / λ = Z² ΔE

λ = 1 / Z² (hc / ΔE)

λ = 1 / Z² λ_hydrogen

Let's apply this last equation to our case

Lithium Z = 3

$E_{n}$ = - 9 Eo / n²

40.5 10-9 = 1/9 λ_hydrogen

Beryllium Z = 4

λ = 1/16 λ_hydrogen

Let's write our two equations is and solve

40.5 10-9 = 1/9 λ_hydrogen

tex]\lambda_{Be}[/tex] = 1/ 16 λ_hydrogen

40.5 10⁻⁹ = 1/9 (16 $\lambda_{Be}$ )

tex]\lambda_{Be}[/tex] = 40.5 9/16

tex]\lambda_{Be}[/tex] = 22.78 nm

In a game of angry birds you launch a bird with an angle of 53 degrees to horizontal. Unfortunatly, its not a good shot and the

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

The maximum height covered is 3.25 m.

The horizontal distance covered is 9.81 m.

The total time in the air is 1.63 seconds.

Explanation:

The launch speed, $u_0= 10 m/s$ .

Angle of launch with the horizontal, $\theta = 53 ^{\circ}$

So, the vertical component of the initial velocity,

$u_0\sin\theta=10 \sin 53 ^{\circ}\cdots(i)$ .

The horizontal component of the initial velocity,

$u_0\cos\theta=10 \cos 53 ^{\circ}$

Let, t be the time of flight, to the horizontal distance covered

$D=10 \cos (53 ^{\circ})t\cdots(ii)$ .

Not, applying the equation of motion in the vertical direction.

$s= ut +\frac 1 2 at^2$

Where s is the displacement in time t, u is the initial velocity and a is the acceleration.

In this case, $u =10 \sin 53 ^{\circ}$ (from equation (i), s=0 (as the final height is same as the launch height) and $a = -9.81 m/s^2$ (negative sign is due to the downward direction).

$\Rightarrow 0 = 10 (\sin 53 ^{\circ})t-\frac 1 2 (9.81)t^2$

$\Rightarrow t= \frac {2\times 10 (\sin 53 ^{\circ})}{9.81}=1.63$ seconds.

So, the total time in the air is 1.63 seconds.

From equation (i),

Total horizontal distance covered is

$D=10 \cos (53 ^{\circ})\times 1.63 = 9.81 m$ .

Now, for the maximum height, H, applying the equation of motion as

$v^2=u^2+2as$

Here, v is the final velocity and v=0 (at the maximum height), and h=H.

So, $0^2=(10 \sin 53 ^{\circ})^2-2(9.81)H$

$\Rightarrow H = \frac {(10 \sin 53 ^{\circ})^2}{2\times 9.81}$

$\Rightarrow H = 3.25 m$ .

Hence, the maximum height covered is 3.25 m.

When the distance between two interacting objects doubles, the gravitational force is

Umnica [9.8K]

The gravitational force will be one quarter.

The gravitational force between two objects is given by the formula

F=GMm/r^2

here, r is the distance between the objects.

Thus the gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects, Therefore if the distance between two objects is doubled the force will be one quarter.
