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.

The “turning effect of a force” (T = F * r) is:
Doss [256]

Answer:

b and e

Explanation:

r x F is the formula for torque.

The "turning effect" or torque happens when concentric forces rotate an object along said center.

a) False because T = Fr = Ia (a = angular acceleration)

b) True

c) False. L = Iw (w = angular velocity), which does not equal Ia

d) False. It is torque, not the product of torque and something else

e) True.

Which main characteristics describe weather
makkiz [27]
Out of the four options presented in this problem, the most probable answer would be A. humidity.

Weather has many characteristics which includes, but are not limited, to air temperature, wind speed, the directions of the wind, cloud cover, the type of clouds present, amount of precipitation, the type of precipitation, and of course humidity. Although B. winds is an option, it isn't ultimately a main characteristic since some weathers doesn't involve winds too much. The humidity, however, is present in all kinds of weather. The other characteristics help in differentiating which weather to which weather.
