Where does the atmosphere of the Earth end? (i.e. Where is the top of the Earth's atmosphere?) Where does the atmosphere of the

Earth end? (i.e. Where is the top of the Earth's atmosphere?)
a. The tops of thunderstorms are at the top of the Earth's atmosphere.

b. There is no definite top to the atmosphere. The pressure and density gradually get smaller as the altitude gets larger.

c. The top of the Earth's atmosphere is about 100 kilometers below the orbit of the International Space Station.

d. The Earth's atmosphere ends at the point where the aurora (Northern Lights) begin.

Answer:

b. There is no definite top to the atmosphere. The pressure and density gradually get smaller as the altitude gets larger.

Explanation:

There is no specific top of the atmosphere. It varies from place to place. But generally it is considered to be 480 kilometers thick.  But majority of its thickness is limited to 16 km only above earth surface. The pressure and density gradually get smaller as the altitude gets larger. The air pressure at sea level is 14.7 pounds per square inch and it decreases to 10 pounds per square inch at a height of 3 kilometers. From the above discussion we say that option B is correct

A car accelerates at a rate of 13m/s^2[S]. If the car's initial velocity is 120km/h[N]. What will its final velocity be in m/s,
Delvig [45]

Answer:

the final velocity of the car is 59.33 m/s [N]

Explanation:

Given;

acceleration of the car, a = 13 m/s²

initial velocity of the car, u = 120 km/h = 33.33 m/s

duration of the car motion, t = 2 s

The final velocity of the car in the same direction is calculated as follows;

v = u + at

where;

v is the final velocity of the car

v = 33.33 + (13 x 2)

v = 59.33 m/s [N]

Therefore, the final velocity of the car is 59.33 m/s [N]

How much heat is absorbed by 20g granite boulder as enegry from the sun causes its temperature to change from 10 celsius to 29 c
pochemuha

m = mass of granite boulder = 20 g

c = specific heat of granite boulder = 0.79 J/gC

T₀ = initial temperature of granite boulder = 10 °C

T = final temperature of granite boulder = 29 °C

Q = heat gained by granite boulder as energy from the sun

heat gained by granite boulder is given as

Q = m c (T - T₀)

inserting the values

Q = (20) (0.79) (29 - 10)

Q = 300.2 J

A flowerpot falls off a windowsill and falls past the window below. You may ignore air resistance. It takes the pot 0.380 ss to
kirill [66]

Answer:

The top of the window is 0.5 m below the sill of the upper window  

Explanation:

We have the time the pot takes to fall a distance y- yo = 2.0 m and g = 9.8, from this we can calculate the velocity of the pot when it just reached the top of the window in question. Take the positive y direction to be downward  

y-yo=vo*t+I/2gt^2

  vo=(y-yo-I/2gt^2)/t

  vo=3.138 m/s

The flowerpot falls from rest and we have the velocity it gains until it reaches the top of the window below, from this information we can get the distance between the sill and the top of the window below.  

v^2=vo^2+2g(y-yo)

y-yo=(v^2-vo^2)/2g

      = 0.5 m

The top of the window is 0.5 m below the sill of the upper window

What is the acceleration due to gravity on a planet with a mass of 4.76x10^23 kg and a radius of 2,635,000 meters? Report your a
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

g=4.5727 m/s^2

Explanation:

We\ know\ that\ , \\F=G\frac{Mm}{d^2} \\As\ F=ma\ and\ a=g\ (g\ is\ the\ acceleration\ caused\ due\ to\ gravity),\\mg=G\frac{Mm}{d^2}\\Canceling\ m\ on\ both\ sides\ we\ get,\\g=G\frac{M}{d^2}\\

We\ are\ given\ that\ ,\\Mass\ of\ the\ planet\ (M) = 4.76*10^{23} kg\\Distance(d) = 2,635,000 m\\G(Universal\ Gravitation\ Constant) = 6.67*10^{-11}\\Hence,\\g=6.67*10^{-11} (\frac{4.76*10^{23}}{2,635,000^2} )\\g= 4.5727 m/s^2
