one layer of earth's atmosphere is called the stratosphere. At one point above earth's surface the stratosphere extends from an

altitude of 16 km to an altitude of 50 km. Write a compound inequality to show the altitudes that are within the range of the stratosphere. (please show work! i really need to know how to figure out these word problems. thanks!)

According to all the given requirements 

stratosphere x starts at an altitude of 16 km

that means  

<span>16≤x

</span> and,as given ,stratosphere ends at an altitude of 30 km:
which means
<span>x≤30</span> combining both of them we get

<span>16≤x≤30</span> So the range of the stratosphere is from 16 to 30 km.

Answer:

The Stratosphere layer is the layer next to the troposphere and it extends from an elevation of about 10-15 km to 50-60 km above the surface of earth. In this layer, the temperature increases with the increasing height. This increase in temperature is because of the presence of the ozone. This ozone is also called good ozone as it protects the lives on earth from the harmful ultraviolet radiations emitted from the sun.

In order to show the elevation range of the stratosphere layer, in the form of compound inequalities, we take two equations from the given data-

=> X ≥ 16 -------- (equation 1), where X= thickness of the stratosphere layer.

=> X ≤ 50 -------- (equation 2)

Now, from equation 1 and equation 2, we have,

=> 16 ≤ X ≤ 50

So, in conclusion, we can say that the thickness of stratosphere ranges from 16 to 50 km.

A gas undergoes two processes. In the first, the volume remains constant at 0.200 m3 and the pressure increases from 1.00×105 Pa
Alborosie
<h2>The work done = - 2 x 10⁴ J</h2>

Explanation:

In the first case , the volume is kept constant and pressure varies .

In isothermal process  , the work done

W₁ = V x ΔP

here V is the volume of gas and ΔP is the change in pressure

Thus W₁ = 0

Because there is no change in volume , therefore displacement is zero .

In second case pressure is constant , but volume changes

Thus W₂ = P x ΔV

here P is the pressure  and ΔV is the change in volume

Therefore W₂ = 4 x 10⁵ x 5 x 10⁻² = 2 x 10⁴ J

The total work done W = - 2 x 10⁴ J

Because the work done in compression is negative .

1. What is the formula for the period of a pendulum and what is the main determining factor in its period?
Brut [27]

Answer:

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

Explanation:

A simple pendulum is a system consisting of a mass attached to a string, and oscillating in a periodic motion, back and forth, along an equilibrium position.

The period of a pendulum is the time it takes for the pendulum to complete one oscillation.

The period of a pendulum is given by the equation

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

where

L is the length of the pendulum

g is the acceleration due to gravity

From the formula, we see that the period of a pendulum does not depend on the mass.

Therefore, the only 2 factors affecting the period of a pendulum are:

- The length of the pendulum: the longer it is, the longer the period of oscillation

- The acceleration due to gravity: the greater it is, the shorter the period of the pendulum
