A rain cloud contains 4.2 × 10^5 kg of water vapor. How long would it take for a 4000 W pump to raise the same amount of water to the cloud’s altitude, 3.500 km?

it will take 1,000.42 hours to raise the same amount of water.

Explanation:

mass of the water to be raised, m = 4.2 x 10⁵ kg

power applied in lifting the water, P = 4000 W

height through which the water will be lifted, h = 3.500 km = 3,500 m

The power applied the water is given as follows;

Therefore, it will take 1,000.42 hours to raise the same amount of water.

the only real purpose of sputnik 1 was to beat the us into space. we were getting close to launching a useful satellite, explorer 1 - which launched on january 31, 1958. the ussr had to beat that, so they launched sputnik 1 on october 4, 19
