Rise Definition and 274 Threads

Obviously we all know the sun generally rises in the east and sets in the west. But due to axial tilt, it is only really due east and due west at the equinoxes. At other times of the year, the sunrise will be somewhat north of east or south of east (and likewise for the sunset, but let's focus...

I was wondering if there is any solid scientific explanation for the very recent temperature rise in the western-coast of the United States. I live in Arizona, and it's been over 75 degrees for the past week or so. Is this a complete meteorological anomaly? Or does science have some sort of...

There is a new paper about it, the results of the measurements of the GRACE satellites on the sea level changes. http://sciences.blogs.liberation.fr/home/files/Cazenave_et_al_GPC_2008.pdf Good news.

Dunno whether this is the right place for this question! but As it is related to subatomic particles, I think it is! We know that magnetism arises due to rotation of an electron around its own axis in metals, but after all what happens due the moving electric current? Will the same...

i have been searching for something i am positively sure about but I've been told that i am wrong, i couldn't find anything on the internet...so i thought this to be the best way to find some answers to my question... is it true that sound ...also rises up like heat...? pleas answer...

I'm not sure if this question belongs in the forum or the physics forum, I guess I'll post it there as well. I'm trying to calculate the temperature rise in a coil of wire (27AWG) wound around a toroid. The current through the wire is ~0.5A with a calculated voltage drop of 14.64mV across the...

i have a 30 ft pipe - 10" diameter. there is a constant water flow at the top, keeping the water level constant ( the pipe is always full to the top). at the bottom the water just flows out of the basin and away. the pipe is is just 1" underwater in the pool underneath. the yellow object is a...

Hi, Im just wondering, why the fermi level rise up with raisng up the temperature when donors are present in Extrinsic semiconductor? thanx

I need help with a circuit. I need to run the signal in first image through a circuit that can clean up the exponential rise and fall edges and make it more linear. Can anyone help. http://picasaweb.google.com/davidanthonypitts/SignalWaveforms?authkey=5iLxB--Xdqs#

Hello, I'm learning EM from Bleaney & Bleaney and got stuck on Ex2.1 (can do Ex2.2-2.7, though...) - If the polarization charge on the surface of a spherical cavity is -s.cos(theta), prove that the field strength at the centre is s/3e0. If I expand V(r) within the cavity as A.r.cos(theta) +...

What gives rise to natural frequency? Resonance is when an oscillating force has a frequency that matches the natural frequency of a system... but what gives rise to the natural frequency of the system?

Will oil prices rise in 2009? Or will the economy keep the prices down for a while?

Hi All, Could someone please help me with the calculations & an example of Watts consumed to Air Temperature rise in a given area: Eg: If we have a closed sealed container with no outside influences of area say 1 cubic meter, well insulated with an electrical heat source of the best...

Homework Statement A pulley fixed to a rigid support carries a rope whose one end is tied to a ladder and a man and the other end to the counterweight of mass M. The man of mass m climbs up a distance of h with respect to the ladder and then stops. If the mass of the rope and the friction in...

Homework Statement A bicycle pump is a cylinder 20cm long and 3.0cm in diameter. The pump contains air at 21.0C and 1.0atm. If the outlet at the base of the pump is blocked and the handle is pushed in very quickly, compressing the air to half its original volume, how hot does the air in...

The rise and fall of evidence-based natural philosophy. The way we think of the external physical world — natural philosophy -- has in the past often been coloured by anthro’centric prejudice and personal egotism. This perspective has gradually been eclipsed by the secular ideal of...

It is the largest single day rise ever recorded for crude prices; I think they said it is an $11 dollar rise in one day. Some analysts are predicting that we hit $150 by July.

The probability of a rise or fall in blood pressure?? I have developed a database program that searches for all blood pressure readings that are similar to the readings of any given patient. The program then retrieves the following day’s data from all the matching patients to find out what (if...

Please help me . (1)- A gun is fired vertically into a 1.4 kg block of wood at rest directly above it. If the bullet has a mass of 21 g and a speed of 310 m/s, how high will the block rise into the air after the bullet becomes imbeded in it ? (2)- A rocket of total mass 3700 kg is...

First i thought that smoke used to rise upwards due to a 'projection' created by a chimney.. but lately when I was looking at an essence stick.. the smoke could literally go anywhere. Even the same with a burning piece of coal. Even the smoke generated at the bottom part of the coal 'envelopes'...

What might be the calculated sea surface rise from a total Greenland melt? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_level_rise" Volume of ice in km^3 /surface area ocean km^2 = rise in km. S.A. of Earth is 510 x 10^6 km^2. ocean is 71% of S.A., or 361 x 10^6 km^2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth"...

The problem is: The sun is 1.5x10^11 meters from the earth. Energy from the sun is received at the Earth's surface at the rate of 1.4 kilowatts per square meter. I'm trying to find two answers: 1. This energy flux from the Sun falls on a pond of water 100 square meters in area and 0.1 meter in...

http://www.physorg.com/news115220493.html In this context, I think it is important to avoid debate about causes [AGW], and focus on the best means to avoid disasters and respond to the emergencies. San Diego did a fabulous job of managing the fires this year, but many homes were lost. Much...

during the sunrise and sunset, we find the sun reddish in color...why is it so...my view is that as the distance to Earth during these times is longer than mid-day, and applying doppler effect, as the sun nears the apparent wavelength decreases and so is the perceived color...is this approach...

everybody knows that hot air rises. but on thinking about heat as the knetic energy of molecules, heat transfer just becomes another word for collisions between molecules (looking at a gas) right? so surely hot air, in it's attempt to rise from the bottom to the top of a container, would...

Here's the question: If the pressure of a substance is increased during a boiling process, will the temperature also increase or will it remain constant? It seems like it would increase because boiling is basically the release of pressure to create equilibrium. Is this right? Thanks a lot.

Does warm water rise or fall in cold weather? I think it falls Does it have to do with convection??

A Venturi device has a diameter of 4mm at one end and a diameter of 2cm at the other. Air enters at 1200cm^3/m. Mercury is in the botom of the device. Assuming mercury's density to be 13700kg/m^3, and air's density to be 1.2kg/m^3, find how high the mercury rises. Assume air to be an ideal...

this is what I did: I attached a hose to an empty plastic bottle, sealed it with plastic paste and put a cork in it. When i turned the water on the pressure started builiding up. What I noticed was that when it reaches about 2 bar it gets a lot hotter. I don't know why, do you? When the cork...

Is rise over run the way you find slope?

Ok, I already posted this a few days ago but I am bringing it back because i don't quite understand a man sits in a bosuns chair that dangles from a massless rope, which runs over a massless frictionless pulley, and back down to the mans hand. The combined mass of the man and the chair is...
