Are most common refrigerants lighter than air?
Most refrigerants are heavier than air. Because of this, they can displace air and cause someone to suffocate.
Is methane heavier than air?
Yes, methane is lighter than air. Methane gas has a molar mass of approximately 16 g/mol, which is lighter than the average molar mass of air (about 29 g/mol). This means that methane will tend to rise and disperse in the atmosphere rather than sink.
How are forest fires extuinguished?
Water and flame retardants dropped by both firefighters on the ground and by aircraft
Cooled air that is heavier than surrounding air will?
Sink towards the ground
When a cup of water is dropped does the water in the cup stays in the cup?
If a cup of water is dropped, the water will tend to stay inside the cup momentarily due to inertia. However, once the cup hits the ground and stops moving, the water will then spill out of the cup due to the lack of support from the container.
Do you feel heavier or lighter while climing mount Everest?
I think you feel lighter as you are higher off the ground and when you are on the moon you feel much lighter than on Earth
Is natural gas lighter or heavier than air?
Natural gas is lighter than air and rises.
How do you make objects of different masses to reach the ground at the same time?
You must let the lighter one go first then let the heavier one go. The heavier should then catch up.
Does a Lighter or hevier ball bounce higher?
A heavier ball will typically bounce higher because it carries more momentum and energy when it hits the ground, resulting in a greater rebound height compared to a lighter ball.
What is the difference between lighter than air and heavier than an air vehicle?
"Lighter than air" aircraft are lighter than air! The most common are blimps. They do not rely on wings to generate lift. They contain a lighter than air gas (ex:helium) that lifts the craft into the air when ties to the ground are released. "Heavier than air" aircraft are the opposite. They rely on wings to generate lift to get into the air. Common heavier than air aircraft are general airplanes you see in the sky everyday.
What gets easier to pick up the heavier it is?
A barbell. When you lift heavier weights, the inertia generated by their mass makes it easier to lift them off the ground compared to lighter weights that can be harder to control due to their lower inertia.
When a leaf and a coin are being dropped of the same time at the top of the building which of the two will hit the ground first and why?
A coin. It is heavier, and thus less affected by air resistance.
Objects with three very different sizes and weights are dropped off a tower on the moon. Which factor of the objects will determine which hits the ground first?
None of these matter. With no air resistance, they all hit the ground at the same time.
How do you steal a lighter at a store I live in California and im 15 can i buy one at that age?
Just find an empty lighter on the ground and go to a gas station or something where the lighters are on the counter and pick one up when your buying your chips or whatever and drop it on the ground, then take your empty lighter and put it in the place of the one you dropped. Or wait till he/she turns around, grab it and BOOK IT!
What three very different sizes and weights are dropped off a tower on the moon Which factor of the objects will determine which hits the ground first?
Assuming that each object is held with its center of gravity at the same height, and that each is dropped cleanly, with no rotation induced, the one whose lowest part is closest to the ground when dropped will hit first.
Imagine an experiment in which a 16lb bowling ball and a 10lb bowling ball are dropped from the fifth floor at the same time The heavier ball will reach the ground first?
No. They will hit the ground at the same time. The inertia for the heavier ball will be greater, but the acceleration for both will be the same, and both would (if the air resistance is the same for both) hit at the same time.
How come a lighter object can exert more pressure towards the ground then a heavier object?
The pressure exerted by an object is determined by its weight and the area over which the weight is distributed. A lighter object can exert more pressure towards the ground if it has a smaller contact area with the ground, concentrating the force into a smaller area. In contrast, a heavier object with a larger contact area would distribute its weight over a wider area, resulting in less pressure per unit area.
