Humid air is lighter, so it has lower pressure.

Answer:Humid air is lighter, so it has lower pressure.

The reason is the molecules of water are H2O, whose molar mass is 18 g/mol.

These molecules displaces molecules of N2 and O2, whose molar masses are:

N2: 2*14g/mol = 28 g/mol, and
O2: 2*16g/mol = 32 g/mol.

Then molecules of 28g/mol and 32 g/mol are being replaced with molecules of 18g/mol, leading to a lower weight of the same volume of air, which results in lower pressure.

A 6.00-μf parallel-plate capacitor has charges of 40.0 μc on its plates. how much potential energy is stored in this capacitor?

dedylja [7]

Thew energy stored in a capacitor of capacitance $C$ and voltage between the plates $V$ is

$E=\frac{1}{2} CV^2=\frac{1}{2C} Q^2$ .

Substituting numerical value

$E=\frac{1}{2*6*10^{-6}} (40*10^{-6})^2\\ E=133.33\; \mu J$

About once every 30 minutes, a geyser known as Old Faceful projects water 11.0 m straight up into the air. Use g = 9.80 m/s^2, a

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

The speed of the water is 14.68 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Time = 30 minutes

Distance = 11.0 m

Pressure = 101.3 kPa

Density of water = 1000 kg/m³

We need to calculate the speed of the water

Using equation of motion

$v^2=u^2+2gs$

Where, u = speed of water

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height

Put the value into the formula

$0=u^2-2\times9.8\times11.0$

$u=\sqrt{2\times9.8\times11.0}$

$u=14.68\ m/s$

Hence, The speed of the water is 14.68 m/s.

The height of the Washington Monument is measured to be 170 m on a day when its temperature is 35.0°C. What will the change in i

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

The deformation is 0.088289 m

The final height of the monument is 170-0.088289 = 169.911702 m

Explanation:

Thermal coefficient of marble varies between (5.5 - 14.1) ×10⁻⁶/K = α

So, let us take the average value

(5.5+14.1)/2 = 9.8×10⁻⁶ /K

Change in temperature = 35-(-18) = 53 K = ΔT

Original length = 170 m = L

Linear thermal expansion

$\frac{\Delta L}{L} = \alpha\Delta T\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=\frac{\alpha\Delta T}{L}\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=9.8\times 10^{-6}\times 53\times 170$

The deformation is 0.088289 m

The final height of the monument is 170-0.088289 = 169.911702 m (subtraction because of cooling)

Answer:

Roles and responsibilities

Explanation:

Definition of safety plan:

"A Safety Plan is a written document that describes the process for identifying the physical and health hazards that could harm workers, procedures to prevent accidents, and steps to take when accidents occur. Written safety plans can be comprehensive, such as an injury and illness prevention program, or they can be specific to a particular activity, hazard, or piece of equipment. The written safety plan is your blueprint for keeping workers safe."

Alternative definition

"What is an OSHA Safety Plan? An OSHA Safety Plan is a written plan that describes the potential hazards in the workplace, and the company policies, controls, and work practices used to minimize those hazards."

elements of a safety plan:

Basic Safety Plan Elements

Policy or goals statement

List of responsible persons

Hazard identification

Hazard controls and safe practices

Emergency and accident response

Employee training and communication

Recordkeeping

I say roles and responsibilities because it makes sense that if it's your responsibility and possibly something that could be dangerous -- hence a safety plan -- you would have to sign it before working. I hope this helps!
