The Earth's atmosphere is made up primarily of Nitrogen, Oxygen and Argon. The atmosphere is 78% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen and just less than 1% Argon. Small amounts of other gases are ever present.

How fast does sound travel in milliseconds?

Sound travels at approximately 343 meters per second in air at room temperature. To convert this to milliseconds, you would need to divide the distance by the speed of sound. So, sound travels at 0.29 milliseconds per meter in air at room temperature.


How do you find acceleration using mass and force?

You use Newton's second law of motion. Force=mass x acceleration [F=ma], where force is measured in Newtons (N), mass in kilograms (kg) and acceleration in metres per second squared (m/s2)


A tourist drops a 1liter water filled balloon from 170m high- if air resistance is negligible and almost all the motion energy heats the water find the increase in temperature of the water at ground?

The water in a 1 liter balloon at 4 degrees Celsius weighs 9.81 Newtons on earth at sealevel. Lifting 9.81 Newtons 170 meters requires 1667.7 Newton meters of energy. 1667.7 Newton meters = 398.589866 calories. 1 calorie will raise 1 gram of water 1 degree Celsius. 1 liter of water at 4 degrees Celsius has the mass of 1000 grams. Upon impact, assuming that the object into which the water impacted received no energy transfer and that the water did not evaporate, and that the balloon fell absolutely frictionlessly,,,i.e., it fell in some textbook author's small twisted mind, the water would have gained 398.589866 calories / 1000 grams = 0.398589866 Celsius...rounded to 1 place (Your least precise term was 1 liter) you could expect a 0.4 Celsius temperature increase...assuming you had an instantaneously recording thermometer and that there was no chemical reaction with the substrate into which the balloon impacted and that the contracting rubber shards of the balloon did not add to the heat and that the moon was in conjunction with Venus...This is so hypothetical that it is laughable. Somebody needs a hobby.
