In atmospheric science, surface pressure<span> is the atmospheric </span>pressure<span> at a location on Earth's </span>surface<span>. It is directly proportional to the mass of air over that location. For numerical reasons, atmospheric models such as general circulation models (GCMs) usually predict the nondimensional logarithm of </span>surface pressure<span>.

The answer is decrease more slowly

When a gas is rapidly compressed (say, by pushing down a piston) its temperature increases. When a gas expands against a piston,
shusha [124]

Answer:

Explained in explanation

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics states that the change in internal energy of a system(ΔU) is equal to the sum of the net heat transfer into the system(Q) and the net work done on the system(W). In equation, this law is;

ΔU = Q + W

Now, when there's gas inside a container with a movable piston that's tightly fitting, we will assume that the piston can move up and down thereby compressing the gas or allowing the gas to expand against it.

Now these gas molecules inside the container possess kinetic energy. Thus, the internal energy(U) of the system is simply the sum of all the kinetic energies of the individual gas molecules present in the container.

Therefore, if the temperature(T) of the gas increases, then the speed and internal energy(U) of the gas molecules will also increase. In the same way, if the temperature of the gas decreases, the speed and internal energy of the gas molecules would also decrease.

Now, back to the question, when the piston is pushed down, it does work on the gas and the gas does negative work on the piston. Thus, the gas will be get compressed to a smaller space, and thereby making the gas molecules to hit the piston at a faster rate. Thus, there is a decrease in speed and as we saw earlier that when there is a decrease in speed, it means temperature has decreased.

Whereas, when the piston is moved up, the gas does positive work on the piston and the speed of the gas molecules will increase. Like I said earlier that increase in speed means increase in temperature.

A charge Q is placed on the x axis at x = +4.0 m. A second charge q is located at the origin. If Q = +75 nC and q = −8.0 nC, wha
Stells [14]

Answer:

23.1 N/C

Explanation:

OP = 3 m , OQ = 4 m

PQ = \sqrt{4^{2}+3^{2}}=5 m

q = - 8 nC, Q = 75 nC

Electric field at P due to the charge Q is

E_{1}=\frac{KQ}{PQ^{2}}=\frac{9\times 10^{9}\times 75\times 10^{-9}}{25}=27 N/C

Electric field at P due to the charge q is

E_{2}=\frac{Kq}{PO^{2}}=\frac{9\times 10^{9}\times 8\times 10^{-9}}{9}=8 N/C

According to the diagram, tanθ = 3/4

Resolve the components of E1 along x axis and along y axis.

So, Electric field along X axis, Ex = - E1 Cos θ

Ex = - 27 x 4 / 5 = - 21.6 N/C

Electric field along y axis, Ey = E1 Sinθ - E2

Ey = 27 x 3 /5 - 8 = 8.2 N/C

The resultant electric field at P is given by

E=\sqrt{E_{x}^{2}+E_{y}^{2}}=\sqrt{(-21.6)^{2}+(8.2)^{2}}=23.1 N/C

A 50-kg person stands 1.5 m away from one end of a uniform 6.0-m-long scaffold of mass 70.0 kg.
babymother [125]

Answer

given,

mass of the person, m = 50 Kg

length of scaffold = 6 m

mass of scaffold, M= 70 Kg

distance of person standing from one end = 1.5 m

Tension in the vertical rope = ?

now equating all the vertical forces acting in the system.

T₁ + T₂ = m g + M g

T₁ + T₂ = 50 x 9.8  + 70 x 9.8

T₁ + T₂ = 1176...........(1)

system is equilibrium so, the moment along the system will also be zero.

taking moment about rope with tension T₂.

now,

T₁ x 6 - mg x (6-1.5) - M g x 3 = 0

'3 m' is used because the weight of the scaffold pass through center of gravity.

6 T₁ = 50 x 9.8 x 4.5 + 70 x 9.8 x 3

6 T₁ = 4263

    T₁ = 710.5 N

from equation (1)

T₂ = 1176 - 710.5

 T₂ = 465.5 N

hence, T₁ = 710.5 N and T₂ = 465.5 N

Four wrestlers step on a scale for a tournament. Wrestler A weighs in at 170 pounds; wrestler B weighs in at 168 pounds; wrestle
OLga [1]
The force due to gravity is equal to the product of the mass and acceleration due to gravity. Since the acceleration due to gravity is constant, we just have to rely on the comparison of their masses to determine the mass effect. Thus, the answer to this item is Wrestler C weighing 171 pounds.

A machine has an efficiency of 20 percent. Find the input work if the output work is 140 Joules
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

X= 700 Joules

Explanation:

The question asked about the efficiency of the work done.

The formula for efficiency is: Efficiency = (Useful output / input work) * 100%

The useful output given in the question is 140J, the question asked for input work. Let X be the input work. It is also given that the efficiency is 20%.

Using the formula of efficiency,

20 = (140/X) * 100

So, we simply solve the above equation.

X= 140*100/20

X= 700 Joules
