1: Troposphere

The troposphere is the lowest layer of the Earth's atmosphere. The air is very well mixed and the temperature decreases with altitude. Air in the troposphere is heated from the ground up. The surface of the Earth absorbs energy and heats up faster than the air does.

2: Stratosphere

Ozone is mainly found in two regions of the Earth's atmosphere. Most ozone (about 90%) resides in a layer that begins between 6 and 10 miles (10 and 17 kilometers) above the Earth's surface and extends up to about 30 miles (50 kilometers). This region of the atmosphere is called the stratosphere.

3: Stratosphere

As the mesosphere extends upward above the stratosphere, temperatures decrease. The coldest parts of our atmosphere are located in this layer and can reach –90°C. In the forth layer from Earth's surface, the thermosphere, the air is thin, meaning that there are far fewer air molecules.

A pendulum has 895 J of potential energy at the highest point of its swing. How much kinetic energy will it have at the bottom o
LuckyWell [14K]

Newton's law of conservation states that energy of an isolated system  remains a constant. It can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed  from one form to the other.

Implying the above law of conservation of energy in the case of pendulum we can conclude that at the bottom of the swing the entire potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy. Also the potential energy is zero at this point.

Mathematically also potential energy is represented as

Potential energy= mgh

Where m is the mass of the pendulum.

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height from the bottom z the ground.

At the bottom of the swing,the height is zero, hence the potential energy is also zero.

The kinetic energy is represented mathematically as

Kinetic energy= 1/2 mv^2

Where m is the mass of the pendulum

v is the velocity of the pendulum

At the bottom the pendulum has the maximum velocity. Hence the kinetic energy is maximum at the bottom.

Also as it has been mentioned energy can neither be created nor destroyed hence the entire potential energy is converted to kinetic energy at the bottom and would be equivalent to 895 J.

You start at (8, 1). You move right 2 units. Where do you end?
ivann1987 [24]

I'm pretty sure should be shifting your transformation those two units to the right from the original function.

Moving right = subtracting

Moving left = adding

A motorist drives north for 36.0 minutes at 96.0 km/h and then stops for 15.0 minutes. He then continues north, traveling 130 km
Over [174]

Answer:

a) d=187.6km

b)v=61.5km/h

Explanation:

First we convert our minutes to hours so we work always in the same units.

36min=36min(\frac{1h}{60min})=0.6h

15min=15min(\frac{1h}{60min})=0.25h

Where we used the fact that 1 hour are 60 min, thus the multiplying factor is equal to 1 (not altering the time, just changing the units).

a) On the first part the motorist travels a distance d_1=v_1t_1=(96km/h)(0.6h)=57.6km, and on the second part he travels d_2=130km.

The total displacement is d=d_1+d_2=57.6km+130km=187.6km

b) The average velocity is the relation between the total displacement and the time taken to cover it. Our total time is t=0.6h+0.25h+2.2h=3.05h, thus we have:

v=\frac{187.6km}{3.05h}=61.5km/h
