Answer: Nitrogen

Explanation: Nitrogen makes up 78% of the atmosphere, Oxygen makes up 21%, and Argon 0.9%.

Water vaper makes up between 1-4%, depending on the region.

Carbon Dioxide makes up only about 0.04%.

fgiga [73]

Answer:

Continental polar ( cp):

Explanation:

Cold and dry, originating from high latitudes, typically as air flowing out of the polar highs. This air mass often brings the rattleing cold, dry and clear weather on a perfect winter day and also dry and warm weather on a pleasant day in summer.

A single loop of wire with an area of 0.0780 m2 is in a uniform magnetic field that has an initial value of 3.80 T, is perpendic

Katarina [22]

Answer:

The induced current is 26.7 mA

Explanation:

Given;

area of the loop, A = 0.078 m²

initial magnetic field, B₁ = 3.8 T

change in the magnetic field strength, dB/dt = 0.24 T/s

The induced emf is calculated as;

$emf = - \frac{d \phi}{dt} \\\\emf = -\frac{dB.A}{dt} \\\\emf = A (\frac{dB}{dt} )\\\\emf = 0.078(0.24)\\\\emf = 0.0187 \ V$

The resistance of the loop = 0.7 Ω

The induced current is calculated as;

$V = IR\\\\I = \frac{V}{R} = \frac{emf}{R} = \frac{0.0187}{0.7} = 0.0267 \ A = 26.7 \ mA$

An 75-kg hiker climbs to the summit of Mount Mitchell in western North Carolina. During one 2.0-h period, the climber's vertical

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

The change in gravitational potential energy of the climber-Earth system is $\Delta PE = 396900 \ J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the hiker is $m = 75 \ kg$

The time taken is $T = 2 \ hr = 2 * 3600 = 7200 \ s$

The vertical elevation after time T is $H = 540 \ m$

The change in gravitational potential is mathematically represented as

$\Delta PE = mgH$

here g is the acceleration due to gravity with value $g = 9.8 \ m/s^2$

substituting values

$\Delta PE = 75 * 9.8 * 540$

$\Delta PE = 396900 \ J$

Does water transmit light

liq [111]

While the answer is that it does, it transmits light VERY poorly. Most of the light bounces off it and the rest is refracted into the ocean. This is why you can't see much that is far away from you in the ocean unlike if you're just on land.
