The tendency to cause a rotation is measured as the torque. the torque (τ, lowercase greek tau) depends both on the magnitude of the force (f) and on a distance called the lever arm (ℓ). as a formula, τ = fℓ. the units for torque are newton*meters (n*m) the most straightforward torque calculation involves a force that is applied perpendicular to a board which has a hinge at one end (the board will rotate around the hinge). in the following example a force of 78.0 n is applied perpendicular to the board at a distance 1.26 m from the hinge. what is the magnitude of the torque?

What is the relationship between atmospheric pressure and the density of gas particles in an area of increasing pressure? (2 points) as air pressure in an area increases, the density of the gas particles in that area decreases. as air pressure in an area increases, the density of the gas particles in that area increases. as air pressure in an area increases, the density of the gas particles in that area remains constant. as air pressure in an area increases, the density of the gas particles in that area increases and decreases in an alternating pattern. 3. which of the following correctly describes a way in which earth's atmosphere interacts with the geosphere? (2 points) it contains gases that living organisms breathe. it contains gases that trap incoming solar radiation. it provides a medium for cycles that provide nutrients to living organisms. it provides a medium for water to move between earth's surface and the air. 4. which of the following is considered a drawback to using wind energy as a source of power? (2 points) wind energy is nonrenewable. wind energy produces large amounts of air pollution. wind turbines can kill birds that fly through the rotors. wind turbines are built too close to major population centers. 5. a meteorologist predicts that the weather in a region will soon change from clear skies to probable thunderstorms. prior to making this prediction, what did the meteorologist most likely observe on a barometer? (2 points) the barometer fell slightly. the barometer fell substantially. the barometer rose slightly. the barometer rose substantially. 6. which of the following do meteorologists not typically use weather balloons to record? (2 points) atmospheric pressure cloud types humidity temperature 7. during which step in the can crush lab did water vapor force air from the can? (2 points) the can was filled nearly to the top with water. the can was placed on the hot stove top burner for several minutes. the can was removed from the hot stove top burner. the can was placed upside-down in the water-filled pan.

If gases like carbon dioxide and methane make up less than 1% of the total atmosphere, why is it important for scientists to monitor changes in percentages of these gases?

Yvette hangs a 2.4kg bird feeder in the middle of a rope tied between two trees. the feeder creates a tension of 480 n in each side of the the rope.
