The energy released from condensation in thunderstorms can be very large. Calculate the energy (in J) released into the atmosphere for a small storm of radius 2.6 km, assuming that 2.5 cm of rain is precipitated uniformly over this area. (Assume that the rain is precipitated over a circular area and that the density of water is 1000 kg/m3.)

Why?arrow_forwardA TV tube of glass with zero pressure inside and atmosphere pressure outside suddenly cracks and implodes. The volume of the tube is 2.60 10-2 m3. During the implosion, the atmosphere does work on the fragments of the tube and on the layer of air immediately adjacent to the tube. This amount of work represents the energy released in the implosion. Calculate this energy in Joules. If all of this energy is acquired by the fragments of the glass, what will be the mean speed of the fragments? The total mass of the glass is 1.7 kg.arrow_forward

- Cephalopods, such as octopi and squids, can use a form of jet propulsion to move quickly through the water. This technique of locomotion is useful in providing short bursts of speed to catch prey and to avoid predators, and it gives them the title of fastest marine invertebrates. Oxygenated water is taken in by the cephalopod and then expelled by muscular contraction through an opening called the hyponome. Assume a 5.0 kg squid draws in 0.44 kg of water and then quickly (in 0.12 s) expels this water at a speed of 10.1 m/s. What is the recoil speed of the squid just after the water is expelled?arrow_forwardA hand-driven tire pump has a piston with a 2.50-cm diameter and a maximum stroke of 30.0 cm.
