The passive earth pressure occurs when when a wall or plane moves towards earth. This will create additional pressure where as in the case of active pressure wall moves away from earth and it will reduce the pressure on the wall. From the co-efficient of active earthpressure and passive earthpressure,i.e
Ka = 1-sin( phi)/1+sin( phi)
Kp = 1+sin( phi)/1-sin( phi where phi is the angle of internal friction of soil.
14.7 pounds. Atmospheric pressure is 14.7 pounds per square inch Keep in mind that unless air is trapped you do not feel this as pressure is equalized
The mass of the Earth is about 6x1024 kg The mass of an elecron is 9x10-31 kg Divide the first by the second to get the answer: The Earth is about 6.5x1054 times more massive. 6,500,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
He said that sun was the center of the universe and that the earth and all the other planets orbit around it.
== == The perimeter of the equator is the greatest because the earth is a flattened sphere shape due to the influence of centrifugal force - a result of its rotation. The tropic of Cancer is slightly greater than the Tropic of Capricorn as there is a majority of continental land in the north. Land has a higher elevation than sea and to go around it you have to go to a higher elevation (radius) which means a greater perimeter. The north south distance is the least as it is a straight line.
No. The Earth is round!
When the wall moves away from the backfill, the earth pressure on the wall decreases. This minimum pressure is called active earth pressure. On the other hand if the wall moves towards the backfill, the earth pressure increases. This maximum pressure is called passive earth pressure.
active satellites are receives the transmitted signal from earth ,amplify the signal and transmit it. it is also called as transponders. but passive satellites just receive and transmit the signal.itac as the reflector
The greater the altitude, the lower the air prassure.
the temp gets hotter and the pressure gets greater
The pressure increases as you go deeper. The deeper you go the greater the pressure
The pressure increases as you go deeper. The deeper you go the greater the pressure
An active satellite acts as a REPEATER; it amplifies signals received and then retransmits them back to earth. This increases signal strength at the receiving terminal to a higher level than would be available from a passive satellite. A passive satellite only reflects received radio signals back to earth. fr0m: ZIA UR REHMAN D-05-ES-29 DCET Karachi Pakistan.
There is pressure within the earth due to the overlying material that the earth is formed from. The deeper within the earth you go, the greater the amount of overlying material pushing down due to gravity and so the greater the pressure. As the inner core has the largest amount of overlying material pushing down upon it, it experiences the greatest pressure.
Earth's atmospheric pressure is measured as 1 bar. Jupiter's atmospheric pressure is 100 million bars. Therefore, it is 100 million times greater
Because towards the center of the earth, there is more mass on top of it, so there is more pressure. All of the other layers, and the stuff on top of the earth is pushing down on it from all sides. For the mantle, its only the stuff on the top of the earth that is putting pressure on it.
the effect is felt to a greater extent because of the shifting of the pressure belts due to the coriolis effect ( shifting of the pressure belts because revolution of the earth around the sun ). hope that helps
Most winds on earth are produced by pressure differences. The greater the pressure change over a given distance, the greater the wind speed. Tornadoes produce a large pressure drop over a very short distance, resulting in extremely high winds.
