Observe the two scenarios involving electrically charged objects. Predict what will happen when you bring the objects close toge
Margarita [4]

Answer:

When one object is rubbed against another, static electricity can be created. This is because the rubbing creates a negative charge that is carried by electrons. The electrons can build up to produce static electricity. For example, when you shuffle your feet across a carpet, you are creating many surface contacts between your feet and the carpet, allowing electrons to transfer to you, thereby building up a static charge on your skin. When you touch another person or an object, you can suddenly discharge the static as an electrical shock.

Explanation:

Similarly, when you rub a balloon on your head it causes opposite static charges to build up both on your hair and the balloon. Consequently, when you pull the balloon slowly away from your head, you can see these two opposite static charges attracting one another and making your hair stand up.

Pressure is about 1000 hPa at sea level and about 500 hPa at an altitude of 5.5 km. Why doesn’t this vertical pressure gradient
saul85 [17]

Answer:

A. The upward pressure gradient force is balanced by gravity.

Explanation:

A. is correct because the pressure difference is actually generated by gravity. As in the following formula for the pressure at different points:

p = p_0 + \rho g h

where p, p_0 are the pressure at 2 points, ρ is the density of the fluid, g is the gravitational constant, and h is the height difference.

B is incorrect because friction in air is too small to make an effect.

C is incorrect because the Coriolis force is horizontal, not vertical.

D is incorrect because a difference of 500 hPa = 50000 Pa, this is half of the atmospheric pressure.

E is incorrect because temperature cannot generate force.

Evolutionary sequence of our sun
n200080 [17]
<span>A cloud of gas and dust begins to contract under the force of gravity. In regions of star birth, we find gaseous nebulae and molecular clouds. These sites of pre-birth are dark patches called globules.The protosun collapsed. As it did, its temperature rose to about 150,000 degrees and the sun appeared very red. Its radius was about 50 present solar radii.When the central temperature reaches 10 million degrees, nuclear burning of hydrogen into helium commences.The star settles into a stable existence on the Main Sequence, generating energy via hydrogen burning. This is the longest single stage in the evolutionary history of a star, typically lasting 90% of its lifetime. Thermonuclear fusion within the Sun is a stable process, controlled by its internal structure.</span><span>The hydrogen in the core is completed burned into helium nuclei. Initially, the temperature in the core is not hot enough to ignite helium burning. With no additional fuel in the core, fusion dies out. The core cannot support itself and contracts; as it shrinks, it heats up. The rising temperature in the core heats up a thin shell around the core until the temperature reaches the point where hydrogen burning ignites in this shell around the core. With the additional energy generation in the H-burning shell, the outer layers of the star expand but their temperature decreases as they get further away from the center of energy generation. This large but cool star is now a red giant, with a surface temperature of 3500 degrees and a radius of about 100 solar radii.<span>The helium core contracts until its temperature reaches about 100 million degrees. At this point, helium burning ignites, as helium is converted into carbon (C) and oxygen (O). However, the core cannot expand as much as required to compensate for the increased energy generation caused by the helium burning. Because the expanion does not compensate, the temperature stays very high, and the helium burning proceeds furiously. With no safety valve, the helium fusion is uncontrolled and a large amount of energy is suddenly produced. This<span>helium flash </span>occurs within a few hours after helium fusion begins.The core explodes, the core temperature falls and the core contracts again, thereby heating up. When the helium burns now, however, the reactions are more controlled because the explosion has lowered the density enough. Helium nuclei fuse to form carbon, oxygen, etc..</span>The star wanders around the red giant region, developing its distinct layers, eventually forming a carbon-oxygen core.When the helium in the core is entirely converted into C, O, etc., the core again contracts, and thus heats up again. In a star like the Sun, its temperature never reaches the 600 million degrees required for carbon burning. Instead, the outer layers of the star eventually become so cool that nuclei capture electrons to form neutral atoms (rather than nuclei and free electrons). When atoms are forming by capturing photons in this way, they cause photons to be emitted; these photons then are readily available for absorption by neighboring atoms and eventually this causes the outer layers of the star to heat up. When they heat up, the outer layers expand further and cool, forming more atoms, and releasing more photons, leading to more expansion. In other words, this process feeds itself.The outer envelope of the star blows off into space, exposing the hot, compressed remnant core. This is a <span>planetary nebula </span>.</span><span>The core contacts but carbon burning never ignites in a one solar mass star. Contraction is halted when the electrons become degenerate, that is when they can no longer be compressed further. The core remnant as a surface temperature of a hot 10,000 degrees and is now a <span>white dwarf </span>.With neither nuclear fusion nor further gravitational collapse possible, energy generation ceases. The star steadily radiates is energy, cools and eventually fades from view, becoming a black dwarf.</span>

The atmospheric pressure on a mountain is 550 mmHg and 1 atm is equal to 760 mmHg. What is the pressure in atm? Give your answer
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

0.72 atm

Explanation:

Given that the atmospheric pressure on a mountain is 550 mmHg.

Where 1 atm is equal to 760 mmHg.

To Convert millimetre mercury (mmHg) into atmospheric pressure units (atm) , divide the magnitude of pressure by 760. That is,

Pressure = 550/760

Pressure = 0.724 atm

Therefore, pressure in atm is 0.72 atm in two significant figures
