What are the causes of mesosphere?

1 answer:

Meteors are burning up in the mesosphere. The meteors make it through the exosphere and thermosphere without much trouble because those layers don't have much air. But when they hit the mesosphere, there are enough gases to cause friction and create heat.

A vertical steel beam in a building supports a load of 6.0×10⁴. If the length of the beam is 4.0m and it's cross-sectional area

Furkat [3]

Answer:

DL = 1.5*10^-4[m]

Explanation:

First we will determine the initial values of the problem, in this way we have:

F = 60000[N]

L = 4 [m]

A = 0.008 [m^2]

DL = distance of the beam compressed along its length [m]

With the following equation we can find DL

$\frac{F}{A} = Y*\frac{DL}{L} \\where:\\Y = young's modulus = 2*10^{11} [Pa]\\DL=\frac{F*L}{Y*A} \\DL=\frac{60000*4}{2*10^{11} *0.008} \\DL= 1.5*10^{-4} [m]$

Note: The question should be related with the distance, not with the diameter, since the diameter can be found very easily using the equation for a circular area.

$A=\frac{\pi}{4} *D^{2} \\D = \sqrt{\frac{A*4}{\pi} } \\D = \sqrt{\frac{0.008*4}{\\pi } \\\\D = 0.1[m]$

If an atom has 15 protons, 12 neutrons, and 17 electrons, what is the atom's electrical charge? A. -5 B. -2 C. +3 D. +5

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

B. -2

Explanation:

The total charge on an atom is the sum of all individual charges present in it. Therefore, the total charge on this atom is given by the following formula:

$q = (n_p)(q_p)+(n_e)(q_e)+(n_n)(q_n)$

where,

q = total charge on atom = ?

$n_p$ = no. of protons in the atom = 15

$n_e$ = no. of electrons in the atom = 17

$n_n$ = no. of neutrons in the atom = 12

$q_p$ = charge on proton = +1

$q_e$ = charge on electron = -1

$q_n$ = charge on neutron = 0

Therefore,

$q = (15)(1)+(17)(-1)+(12)(0)\\q=-2$

Hence the correct option is:

PLS HELP Do you believe this relationship between incident and reflected angles would occur even if the medium interface were cu

Anna35 [415]

The Law of reflection would still hold even off a curved surface. Since the angles are measured from the normal, which is perpendicular to the surface, curved surfaces don't matter. This is basis of curved mirrors such as concave and convex

Does the distance a person kicks a soccer ball

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

Independent variable: how far the soccer ball is kicked.

Dependent variable: how well the person does on their math test

Explanation:

The distance the ball is kicked is what the scientist can change. On the other hand, in this experiment, how well the person does on their test supposedly relies on how far the soccer ball is kicked.
