Rain Water Storm Case Study
Physics pg194-195 2.why does barometric pressure drop when there is a storm? -Barometric pressure drops because there are powerful winds in the higher atmosphere that blows in or suck out in any direction and change at random times.
3.Our ears pop when we ride in an airplane or when we drive to the mountains,why? - Our ears pop when we ride in an airplane or when we drive to the mountains because the air high above the surface of the earth is less dense than air near the surface.As you ascend in an airplane(or go up in the mountains)the air pressure decreases,and the air trapped in your inner ear will cause your eardrums to push outward.This expansion causes not only the discomfort you feel before your ears "pop",but also a decrease

-This is usually a screen in the faucet outlet.When the waters leaves the faucet there are air spaces where the water has to go around the wires in the screen.Then as the water travels down the skin effect(the nature of a liquid to stick together) takes over and draws the water back together,eliminating the space cause by the screen.The water from the faucet increases the speed because of acceleration due to gravity.The formula for flow rate is:cross-sectional area*velocity.In the formula we can say that the velocity and cross-sectional area are inversely proportional .Since velocity increases because of acceleration due to gravity ,cross-sectional area decreases.That's why water coming out of the faucet becomes narrower.As the water increase in speed,it's area decreases.it is also vice versa,when you lessen the water area of the water ,the water gains speed.
10.Why are people in buildings threatened by a tornado told to open windows to minimize damage? -For me,the people in the building threatenedby a tornado told to open windows to minimize damage so that the air caused by a tornado cannot immediately go inside the building and to change the direction of the

4.Which will cause more severe burn:steam or boiling water? -Steam because more burn,at the same temperature water vapor(steam)contains more heat than liquid water(boiling water).In addition,to sensible heat steam contains latent heat due to phase change.Boiling water contains sensible heat only thermodynamics.
5.Can you cite some daily experiences that will prove that water expands on freezing? -when you make an ice and freeze it in a freezer,when you place the melting ice in a freezer,when you put a glass of water in freezer.
6.The sparks from a firecracker are red hot yet they do not burn your skin,Why? -Because they are not hot enough and do not have enough energy in them to heat the skin for long enough to cause a burn. At works the same way as running your finger through the flame of a candle.
7.When a piece of metal with a cavity inside it is heated,will the hole gets bigger or smaller?Explain. -It will get bigger,This can be a small hole, maybe just the size of a quarter. If the hole is too big, the

    Sound vibrations from the buzzing bee vibrate the air molecules as pressure waves around my ear and enter the auricle which is cone-shaped in order to direct these sound waves into the ear via the external acoustic meatus. The sound waves reach the tympanic membrane through the external acoustic meatus and cause it to vibrate. When the tympanic membrane moves, it causes the auditory ossicles to move. The auditory ossicles are made up of the malleus, incus, and stapes. These ossicles are important…

    Sound waves enters through your ear and travels through a narrow passage called ear canal, which then leads to your ear drums. Then the ear drums vibrate from the incoming sound waves and sends these sound vibrations to your three tiny bones called malleus, incus, and stapes. When the sound vibration hits the fluid movement in the cochlea of the inner ear. An elastic partition goes through the cochlea, which starts from the beginning of the cochlea to the end. After this, it goes into two different directions, upper part and lower part. The partition is called basilar membrane. Following that, the vibrations causes the fluid to ripple a travelling wave which forms along…

    During a sporting event, like a football game we would have a teacher who is running the concession have a computer with the weather forecast in the room to be able to run out and tell every body that a tornado is coming if one might happen to appear while the game is going on. We would have all the parents and athletes move into a gym of a few classrooms in the center of the building. This plan should take about 5 to 10 minutes to get every body inside. We would reschedule the game to later day. We would hold people for 15 min after the storm is gone to make sure that the cost is clear. If we happen to have a storm that last all night we would release the parents at the safest time…

    Otitis Media Case Study

    • 489 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Jarvis (2016) states, “The middle ear is a tiny air-filled cavity inside the temporal bone” (p. 326). The tympanic membrane (TM) covers its opening to the outer ear. Another opening is the eustachian tube, which is usually closed, but it opens with swallowing or yawning. The middle ear has three functions: it conducts sound vibrations from the outer ear to the inner ear; it protects the inner ear by reducing the amplitude of loud sounds; and its eustachian tube allows equalization of air pressure on each side of the tympanic membrane ensuring the pressure does not build up (e.g., during altitude changes in an airplane).Otitis Media (OM) is inflammation of the middle ear. It is very common in children with several subtypes; acute otitis media (AOM), otitis media with effusion (OME), and chronic otitis…
