Humid air is lighter, so it has lower pressure.

5 0

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.

Solve:40KMEN

The spider will cross the driveway 25.71 in seconds.

Why?

It's a conversion problem, so, in order to solve it, we need to convert the units of the given information.

Let's convert the given speed (in cm/s) to m/s.

We know that:

$1m=100cm$

So, converting we have:

$14\frac{cm}{s}*\frac{1m}{100cm}=0.14\frac{m}{s}$

Then, calculating the time, we have:

$distance=speed*time\\\\3.6m=0.14\frac{m}{s}*time\\\\time=\frac{3.6m}{0.14\frac{m}{s}}=25.71s$

We have that the spider will cross the driveway in 25.71 seconds.

Have a nice day!

3. Identify three elements and three compounds. How are they similar? How are they different?

Basile [38]

Answer: A compound is a substance formed when two or more elements are chemically joined. Water, salt, and sugar are examples of compounds. When the elements are joined, the atoms lose their individual properties and have different properties from the elements they are composed of.

With respect to the earth, object 1 is moving at speed 0.80 c to the right. Object 2 is moving in the same direction at speed 0.

viktelen [127]

Answer:

0.976 c

Explanation:

$v_{1e}$ = velocity of object 1 relative to earth = 0.80 c

$v_{21}$ = velocity of object 2 relative to object 1 = 0.80 c

$v_{2e}$ = velocity of object 2 relative to earth

Velocity of object 2 relative to earth is given as

$v_{2e}= \frac{v_{1e} + v_{21}}{1 + \frac{v_{1e}v_{21}}{c^{2}}}$

$v_{2e}= \frac{0.80 c + 0.80 c}{1 + \frac{(0.80c)(0.80c)}{c^{2}}}$

$v_{2e}$ = 0.976 c
