Answer:
Wegener first thought of this idea by noticing that the different large landmasses of the Earth almost fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. The continental shelf of the Americas fits closely to Africa and Europe, and other continents showed the same trend. Wegner also analyzed both sides of the Atlantic Ocean for rock type, geological structures and fossils and noticed that there was a significant similarity between matching sides of the continents, especially in fossil plants.
We have discovered 786 planets. Most of which were only recently discovered.
<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>
Answer:
5.62 m/s
Explanation:
Newton's law of motion can be used to determine the maximum speed of the elevator. In the question, we are given:
Force exerted by the elevator (R) = 1.7 times the weight of the passenger (m*g)
Thus: R = 1.7*m*g
Distance (s) = 2.3 m
Newton's second law of motion: R - m*g = m*a
1.7*m*g - m*g = m*a
a = 0.7*m*g/m = 0.7*g = 0.7*9.8 = 6.86 m/s²
To determine the maximum speed:
Therefore, the elevator maximum speed is equivalent to 5.62 m/s.
Answer:
Density of liquid = 4730 kg/m³
Atmospheric pressure on planet X = 8401.7 N/m²
Explanation:
Pressure, P = ρgh where ρ = density of liquid, g =9.8 m/s² and h = height of column at earth's surface = 2185 mm. Since P = atmospheric pressure, for mercury, P = ρ₁gh₁ where ρ₁ = 13.6 g/cm³ and h₁ = 760 mm
So, ρgh = ρ₁gh₁
ρ = ρ₁h₁/h = 13.6 g/cm³ × 760/2185 = 4.73 g/cm³ = 4730 kg/m³
The atmospheric pressure on planet X
P = ρg₁h₃ g₁ = g/4 and h₃ = 725 mm = 0.725 m
on planet X
P = ρg₁h₃ = (4730 kg/m³ × 9.8 m/s² × 0.725 m)/4 = 8401.7 N/m²
