A percent change in mass is expressed more often than a variable change of mass in order to establish a coordinate for comparison. Your question about why it is better is a bit like asking why do we use specific traffic signs to indicate different driving functions. It is a matter of taste for efficiency purposes. Mass is related to acceleration and it would complicate our preferences to have to think about that all the time.

The atmosphere is heated chiefly by radiation emitted by Earth?

The atmosphere is heated chiefly by radiation from Earth's surface rather than by direct solar radiation because about 50 percent of the solar energy is absorbed at Earth's surface. 30 percent is reflected back to space. 20 percent is absorbed by clouds and the atmosphere's gases.


What does it mean to be composed and observing?

To be composed and observing means to maintain a calm, centered demeanor while attentively watching and analyzing one's surroundings or experiences without immediate reaction. This state allows for greater clarity and understanding, enabling one to respond thoughtfully rather than impulsively. It fosters a deeper awareness of emotions, behaviors, and situations, promoting mindful decision-making and interpersonal interactions.


Is the throbbing moon made up?

The "throbbing moon" is not a scientifically recognized phenomenon; rather, it may be a poetic or metaphorical expression. In astronomy, the moon appears to change in brightness and size due to various factors like its position and phases, but it doesn't actually throb. If this term is used in literature or art, it likely symbolizes emotional or natural rhythms rather than a literal characteristic of the moon.

Why do chemists prefer to read the absorbance rather than the percent transmittance of lght when analyzing a sample having a visible color?

Chemists prefer to read the absorbance rather than the percent transmittance of light when analyzing a sample with a visible color because absorbance is directly proportional to concentration according to the Beer-Lambert Law. This allows for more accurate quantification of the sample's components. In contrast, percent transmittance may not provide a linear response and can be influenced by factors beyond just concentration, such as the color of the sample itself.


Percent of change 3 to 2?

1/3, or about 33.3% The percent change is the difference between the final number and the original number divided by the original number. In this case, (2-3)/3=-1/3, or approximately -33.3%. The negative sign indicates that it was a percentage decrease rather than increase.

Which of String and StringBuffer has better performance?

That depends what you use them for. A StringBuffer (or StringBuilder) has better performance when you need to build a long string out of small parts, because it allows to change the StringBuffer by appending to it, rather than creating new objects for every change. A String has better performance when modification is not necessary, because it has less overhead, and the JVM can assume it will never change.
