A wave's speed changes when it goes through a different medium, or type of matter. Our atmosphere is one type of medium, and is crucial to helping sunlight sustain life on Earth. Explain how the atmosphere does this, and what life on Earth might be like if we didn't have an atmosphere.

Answers

Answer 1
Effect on temperature.

If there were no atmosphere around the earth, the temperature of the earth will increase during day and decrease during night. In the absence of atmosphere around the earth, it will be like a moon. There would be no life, no winds, no rains, no fires, no protection against harmful solar radiations. Due to absence of atmosphere around the moon, the temperature ranges from -1900C to 1100C. Air is a bad conductor of heat. The atmosphere has an average temperature of the earth almost steady during the day and night. It prevents sudden increase in temperature during the day time. Also, it decreases the rate of escape of heat during night time.

8. An effort force of 15 Newtons is applied to an ideal pulley system to lift up a 16 Newton object. If the effort force is exerted through a distance of 6 meters, calculate the distance that the object is raised above its initial position.​

Answers

Answer:

the distance that the object is raised above its initial position is 5.625 m.​

Explanation:

Given;

applied effort, E = 15 N

load lifted by the ideal pulley system, L = 16 N

distance moved by the effort, d₁ = 6 m

let the distance moved by the object = d₂

For an ideal machine, the mechanical advantage is equal to the velocity ratio of the machine.

M.A = V.R

[tex]M.A = \frac{Load}{Effort} = \frac{L}{E} \\\\V.R = \frac{disatnce \ moved \ by \ the \ effort}{disatnce \ moved \ by \ the \ load} = \frac{d_1}{d_2} \\\\For \ ideal \ machine; \ M.A = V.R\\\\\frac{L}{E} = \frac{d_1}{d_2} \\\\d_2 = \frac{E \times d_1}{L} \\\\d_2 = \frac{15 \times 6}{16} \\\\d_2 = 5.625 \ m[/tex]

Therefore, the distance that the object is raised above its initial position is 5.625 m.​

after a hot sun day, a plant withers and dries up. which explains how this happens

Answers

Answer:

On a hot, dry day (or after several days with no rain or watering), transpiration causes more water to be lost than is coming in, and the water balance within the plant can get thrown off. The dehydrated collapsing cells in the leaves and stems can no longer remain erect, and the plant begins to wilt.

Answers

Answer:

the order of liquids from bottom to top is    Mercury - Water - Oil

Explanation:

In general, when several substances are mixed we can have two cases, that the substances dissolve some enter and that the substances have not been miscible (insoluble) this is our case, the three substances do not dissolve.

Therefore they must be deposited according to the principle of Archimedes,

           B -W = 0

if the thrust (B) of the liquid is greater than the weight of the upper body, the body floats and if less, the body sinks.

           B = ρ_{liquid1}   g  V_{liquid2}

           W = m_{liquid2} g

substance densities are tabulated

ρ_{oil} = 750 to 950 kg / m3

ρ_ water = 1.00 10³ kg / m³

ρ_ Hg = 13.6 10³ kg / m #

The thrust created by the mercury is

          B_Hg = ρ_Hg g V_ Liquid2

          B_Hg = 13.6 10³  9.8 V

          B _Hg = 133.3 10³ V

The push of the water

          B_water = 1  10³ 9.8 V

          B_water = 9.8 10³ V

The oil density, let us use ρ_oil =  ​​0.75 10³ kg / m³

          B_ oil = 0.750 10³  9.8 V

          B _ oil = 7.35 10³ V

let's find the volumes of the bodies

Mercury

          ρ = m / V

     

         V_hg = m /ρ_Hg

          V_Hg = 20 10⁻³/ 13.6 10³

          V_Hg = 1.47 10⁻⁶ m³

Water

          V_water = 50 10⁻³ L

we reduce from liter to m³ 1000 l = 1 m³

           V_water = 50 10⁻⁶ m³

Oil

          V_oil = 25 10⁻³ l

           V_oil = 25 10⁻⁶ m³

Let's look for the push for every two substances

The mercury  in the bottom and upper  sustabce the water and oil  

           B_hg = 133.3 10³ (V_water + V_oil)

           B = Hg = 133.3 10³ (50 + 25) 10⁻⁶

           B = 10 N

the weight of substance on mercury is

          W = W_water + W_oil

          W = ρ_water g V_water + ρ_oil ​​g V_oil

          W = g (ρ_water V_water + ρ_oil ​​V_oil)

          W = 9.8 (1 10³ 50 10⁻⁶ + 0.75 10³ 25 10⁻⁶)

          W = 9.8 68.75 10⁻³

          W = 6.7 10⁻¹ N

We can be that the weight of this substance in less than the push created by the mercury therefore they float.

In resume the mercury is the substance that will be at the bottom of the cylinder.

Let's repeat the calculation for water and oil.

Suppose the water is below

            B₂ = ρ_water g V_oil

            B₂ = 1 10³ 9.8 25 10⁻⁶

            B₂ = 245 10⁻³ N

            B₂ = 2.5 10⁻¹ N

The weight of the oil

            W = ρ_oil ​​g V_oil

            W = 0.750 10³ 9.8 25 10⁻⁶

             W = 183.75 10⁻³

            W = 1.8 10⁻¹ N

we see that the thrust of the water is greater than the weight of the oil therefore the oil floats in the water

In summary the order of liquids from bottom to top is

Mercury - Water - Oil

D. Far away stars show a blueshift

Answers

Answer:

A. Far away stars show a red shift and B. Microwave background creation is found all over the observational universe

Explanation:

Red shift in color indicates that galaxies are moving away from Earth. This is  proof that the Universe is continously expanding, which also supports the big bang theory.

The Big Bang theory predicts that the early universe was a very hot place and that as it expands, the gas within it cools. Thus the universe should be filled with radiation that is literally the remnant heat left over from the Big Bang, called the “cosmic microwave background".

Ball A has a mass of 50 kg. Ball B has a mass of 75 kg. Both move at the same velocity. Which has a greater momentum?

Answers

Answer:

Ball B

Explanation:

I say this because its the heavier one?

The momentum of a body increases with increase in mass. Hence, among the two balls, the ball with the greater mass that is ball B has the greater momentum.

What is momentum ?

Momentum is the ability of a moving object to bring the force effective to make maximum displacement. It is the product of mass and velocity.

P = mv

Thus, as the velocity and mass increases, the momentum increases. The force applied on a body with greater mass makes greater acceleration and greater momentum.

Therefore, at constant velocity, the object with the greater mass will have the greater momentum. Then, the ball  with 75 kg mass is having  the greater momentum.

Answers

Answer: D.

Explanation:

I just took a quiz im in highschool too and I got a 100

If you mix hot water and cold water in an isolated medium the mixture would have the temperature intermediate of the initial temperatures of the hot water and the cold water because of heat transfer.

How heat is transferred ?

Heat moves from higher temperature to lower temperature, a mixture of hot and cold water reaches an intermediate temperature. When hot water is placed over cold water, the denser cold water flows to the bottom, mixes with the hot water, and heats up.Energy is transferred from the hotter, or higher temperature, object to the colder, or lower temperature, object when two objects with different temperatures come into contact, until both are the same temperature. Once the temperatures are the same, there is no net heat transfer because the heat that is transferred from one object to another is the same as the heat that is returned.Changes in temperature are one of the main effects of heat transfer. The temperature rises when heated, while it falls when cooled. The change in a substance's temperature, the substance's mass, and certain phase-related physical properties are the three factors that, according to experiments, determine how much heat is transferred to or from a substance.Heat transfer takes place whenever there is a difference in temperature. Heat move might happen quickly, for example, through a cooking container, or gradually, like through the walls of a protected cooler.There are three distinct approaches to heat transfer: radiation, conduction, and convection. All three may occasionally occur simultaneously.

A gold bar 20.0kg at 35.0°c is placed in a large insulated 0.8kg glass container at 15°c and 2.0kg of water at 25°c.. calculate the final equilibrium temperature?​

Answers

Answer:

The final equilibrium temperature is approximately 26.69 °C

Explanation:

The heat transferred, ΔQ, from a hot body to a cold one is given by the following formula;

ΔQ = m·c·ΔT

Where;

m = The mass of the body

c = The specific heat capacity of the body

ΔT = The temperature change of the body

The given mass of the gold bar, m₁ = 20.0 kg

The initial temperature of the gold bar, T₁ = 35.0 °C

The specific heat capacity of gold, c₁ = 0.13 kJ/(kg·K)

The mass of the glass container, m₂ = 0.8 kg

The initial temperature of the glass container, T₂ = 15°C

The specific heat capacity of glass, c₂ = 0.792 kJ/(kg·K)

The mass of the added water, m₃ = 2.0 kg

The initial temperature of the added water, T₃ = 25°C

The specific heat capacity of water, c₃ = 4.2 kJ/(kg·K)

The heat lost by the gold = The heat gained by the glass and the water

Let 'T' represent the temperature at the final equilibrium, we have;

m₁·c₁·ΔT₁ = m₂·c₂·ΔT₂ + m₃·c₃·ΔT₃

Where;

ΔT₁ = T₁ - T

ΔT₂ = T - T₂

ΔT₃ = T - T₃

∴ 20.0 × 0.13 × (35 - T) = 0.8 × 0.792 × (T - 15) + 2.0 × 4.2 × (T - 25)

Expanding and collecting like terms (using a graphing calculator) gives;

91 - 2.6·T = 9.0336·T - 219.504

9.0336·T + 2.6·T = 219.504 + 91 = 310.504

11.6336·T = 310.504

T = 310.504/11.6336 ≈ 26.69

The final equilibrium temperature, T ≈ 26.69 °C.

En un tiempo de 60 s (segundos), una masa de 0,0014 kg, cambia su velocidad de 25 m/s a 60 m/s. Determine qué fuerza actúa sobre el mismo.

Answers

Answer:

Fuerza = 0.0082 Newton

Explanation:

Dados los siguientes datos;

Velocidad inicial, u = 25 m/s

Velocidad final, v = 60 m/s

Tiempo, t = 60 segundos

Masa = 0,0014 kg

Para encontrar la fuerza que actúa sobre el objeto;

En primer lugar, determinaríamos la aceleración del objeto.

Aceleración = (v - u)/t

Aceleración = (60 - 25)/60

Aceleración = 35/60

Aceleración = 5.83 m/s²

A continuación, encontramos la fuerza;

Fuerza = masa * aceleración

Fuerza = 0.0014 * 5.83

Fuerza = 0.0082 Newton
