The deeper you dive into the ocean and the higher the altitude you gain when climbing a mountain result in what?

Physics

Lapatulllka [165]2 years ago

8 0

Answer:

A change in pressure

Explanation:

This is because, the deeper you dive, the height of water above you creates a pressure on you. So, as the depth increases, the height of water increases, thus its weight on you, thus its pressure on you also.

Also, as you gain altitude as you climb a mountain, the height of air above you decreases. This thereby decreases the weight of air above you thus, decreasing the pressure of air on you.

So, in both cases, there is a change in pressure as height or depth changes. An increase in height results in decreased pressure and an increases in depth results in increased pressure.

A train travelling at 20 m/s has 2 000 000 J of kinetic energy. What is the mass of<br> the train?

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

The mass of the train can be found by using the formula

$m = \frac{2k}{ {v}^{2} } \\$

k is the kinetic energy

v is the velocity

From the question we have

$m \frac{2(2000000)}{ {20}^{2} } = \frac{4000000}{400} = \frac{40000}{4} \\$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

A wire of resistance R is cut into ten equal parts which are then connected in parallel. The equivalent resistance of the combin

Greeley [361]

Answer:

<em>The equivalent resistance of the combination is R/100</em>

Explanation:

<u>Electric Resistance</u>

The electric resistance of a wire is directly proportional to its length. If a wire of resistance R is cut into 10 equal parts, then each part has a resistance of R/10.

Parallel connection of resistances: If R1, R2, R3,...., Rn are connected in parallel, the equivalent resistance is calculated as follows:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{R_e}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}+...+\frac{1}{R_n}$

If we have 10 wires of resistance R/10 each and connect them in parallel, the equivalent resistance is:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{R_e}=\frac{1}{R/10}+\frac{1}{R/10}+\frac{1}{R/10}...+\frac{1}{R/10}$

This sum is repeated 10 times. Operating each term:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{R_e}=\frac{10}{R}+\frac{10}{R}+\frac{10}{R}+...+\frac{10}{R}$

All the terms have the same denominator, thus:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{R_e}=10\frac{10}{R}=\frac{100}{R}$

Taking the reciprocals:

$R_e=R/100$

The equivalent resistance of the combination is R/100

How does temperature,barometric pressure,humidity,wind speed and direction, and precipitation determine the weather in a particu

Deffense [45]

Temperature is how hot or cold something is,barometric is air pressure(when the pressures high,the weather is dry)humidity is how moist the air is and how many water particles are there, wind speed and direction is how the hot and cold air is moving and how fast,which makes wind (high to low, hot to cold) precipitation is how much it is raining at that point.
