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.

<h3>What is mass?</h3>
  • Mass is a physical body's total amount of matter. It also serves as a gauge for the body's inertia or resistance to acceleration (change in velocity) in the presence of a net force. The strength of an object's gravitational pull to other bodies is also influenced by its mass.
  • The kilogram is the SI unit of mass (kg). In science and technology, a body's weight in a given reference frame is the force that causes it to accelerate at a rate equal to the local acceleration of free fall in that frame.
  • For instance, a kilogram mass weighs around 2.2 pounds at the surface of the planet. However, the same kilogram mass would weigh just about 0.8 pounds on Mars and about 5.5 pounds on Jupiter.
  • An object's mass is a crucial indicator of how much stuff it contains. Weight is a measurement of an object's gravitational pull. It is influenced by the object's location in addition to its mass. As a result, weight is a measurement of force.

The length of the semi-major axis is calculated as follows:

where, $G=6.67 \times 10^{-1} \mathrm{~m}^3 / \mathrm{kgs}$

$M=1.99 \times 10^{30} \mathrm{~kg}=$mass of sur

$m=1.20 \times 10^{10} \mathrm{~kg}$ - a mass of the comet

$$\begin{aligned}\therefore \quad \text { At aphelion, } r &=50 \times U \\&=50 \times 1.496 \times 10^{11} \mathrm{~m} . \\U=-\frac{6.67 \times 10^{-11} \times \mathrm{m} 1.99 \times 10^{30} \times 1.20 \times 10^{10}}{50 \times 1.496 \times 10^{11}} \\U=-2.13 \times 10^{17} \mathrm{~J} .\end{aligned}$$

$$U=-2.13 \times 10^{17} \mathrm{~J} .\end{aligned}$$

An automobile starter motor has an equivalent resistance of 0.0500Ω and is supplied by a 12.0-V battery with a 0.0100-Ω internal
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer

given,

resistance = 0.05 Ω

internal resistance of battery = 0.01 Ω

electromotive force = 12 V

a) ohm's law

        V = IR

     and volage

   V = \epsilon - Ir

now,

   IR = \epsilon - Ir

   I(R+r) = \epsilon

   I= \dfrac{\epsilon}{R+r}

inserting the values

   I= \dfrac{12}{0.05+0.01}

      I = 200 A

b) Voltage

   V = I R

   V = 200 x 0.05

   V = 10 V

c) Power

    P = I V

    P = 200 x 10 = 2000 W

d) total resistance = 0.05 + 0.09 = 0.14 Ω

 I= \dfrac{\epsilon}{R+r}

   I= \dfrac{12}{0.14+0.01}

     I = 80 A

     V = 80 x 0.05 = 4 V

     P = 4 x 80 = 320 W
