What is the main determining factor in defining boundaries between layers of earth's atmosphere?

5 0

The main determining factor in defining boundaries between layers of earth's atmosphere would be temperature changes in these layers. Temperature is one essential property that varies in the atmosphere. Based from this variation, the atmosphere is divided into four major layers and further to three smaller layers - troposphere, tropopause, the stratosphere, stratopause, the mesosphere, mesopause, and the thermosphere.The troposphere is the layer that is nearest to the surface of the Earth. It is the part where humans, plants and animals survive. Also, it is the warmest layer of the atmosphere. And as we go higher the atmosphere, the temperature would drop making it much cooler.

a. 25 joules of work is done by the object.

Explanation:

According to the work-energy theorem, the work done ON an object is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the object, therefore:

$W=K_f -K_i= \frac{1}{2}mv^2-\frac{1}{2}mu^2$

where

$K_f = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$ is the final kinetic energy of the car, with

m = 2 kg being the mass of the car

v = 0 is the final speed of the car (brought to rest)

$K_i = \frac{1}{2}mu^2$ is the initial kinetic energy of the car, with

u = 5 m/s being the initial speed of the car

Substituting numbers, we find:

$W=\frac{1}{2}(2)(0)^2 - \frac{1}{2}(2)(5)^2=-25 J$

The negative sign means that the work done ON the car is negative: this means therefore that the work has been actually done BY the car. In fact, the car has lost its kinetic energy: this means that it has done work on the surrounding, converting its kinetic energy into other forms of energy.

A small grinding wheel has a moment of inertia of 4.0*10-5kgm2. What net torque must be applied to the wheel for its angular acc

kvv77 [185]

Hi there!

We can use the rotational equivalent of Newton's Second Law:

$\huge\boxed{\Sigma \tau = I \alpha}$

Στ = Net Torque (Nm)

I = Moment of inertia (kgm²)

α = Angular acceleration (rad/sec²)

We can plug in the given values to solve.

$\Sigma \tau = (4 * 10^{-5})(150) = \boxed{0.006 Nm}$

Copper has a specific heat of 387 J/kg°C. A copper bullet is moving at 950 m/s. If the bullet is suddenly stopped so that all of

Alla [95]

Answer:

1196.02 °C

Explanation:

If the kinetic energy is converted into heat,

then,

Kinetic energy of the copper = heat energy of the copper

1/2m(v²) = cm(t₂-t₁)

where m = mass of copper, v = velocity of copper, c = specific heat capacity of copper, t₂ = final temperature of copper, t₁ = initial temperature of copper.

Since the mass of copper remains the same,

1/2v² = c(t₂-t₁)

make t₂ the subject of the equation

t₂ = 1/2(v²/c)+t₁..................... Equation 1

Given: v = 950 m/s, c = 387 J/kg°C, t₁ 30 °C

Substitute into equation 1

t₂ = 1/2(950²/387)+30

t₂ = 1196.02 °C

Hence the temperature the bullet reach before it was stopped = 1196.02 °C
