Question
Chapter 31, Problem 1RAT
To determine
The correct option for the statement “Air that contains the maximum amount of water vapor for the temperature of the air mass is considered to”.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1RAT
The correct option for the statement “Air that contains the maximum amount of water vapor for the temperature of the air mass is considered to” is option (d).
Explanation of Solution
The air's capacity to store water depends on its temperature. A given amount of air at
When the air holds its maximum amount of water, then it is said to be saturated and it has a relative humidity of
The evaporation rate is similar to the condensation at its saturation equilibrium level. The relative humidity of saturated air near the Earth changes because of changing external conditions, such as temperature, air density, pressure and other factors.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the correct option for the statement “Air that contains the maximum amount of water vapor for the temperature of the air mass is considered to” is option (d).

- You are working during the summer at a company that builds theme parks. The company is designing an electromagnetic propulsion system for a new roller coaster. A model of a substructure of the device appears in the figure below. Two parallel, horizontal rails extend from left to right, with one rail behind the other. A cylindrical rod rests on top of and perpendicular to the rails at their left ends. The distance between the rails is d and the length of the rails is L. The magnetic field vector B points vertically down, perpendicular to the rails. Within the rod, the current I flows out of the page, from the rail in the back toward the rail in the front. The rod is of length d = 1.00 m and mass m = 0.700 kg. The rod carries a current I = 100 A in the direction shown and rolls along the rails of length L = 20.0 m without slipping. The entire system of rod and rails is immersed in a uniform downward-directed magnetic field with magnitude B = 2.30 T. The electromagnetic force on the rod…arrow_forwardBased on the graph, explain how centripetal force is affected when the hanging mass changes.
