Answer: a.troposphere

Explanation: Most of the mass (about 75-80%) of the atmosphere is in the troposphere. Almost all weather occurs within this layer. Air is warmest at the bottom of the troposphere near ground level. Higher up it gets colder. Air pressure and the density of the air are also less at high altitudes.

Why might the current in a short circuit be higher than the current in the original circuit?

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

Hope this helps =)

Explanation:

The current in a short circuit may be very high because the resistance in the short circuit is probably less than the resistance in the original circuit.

1. Your new designer chair has an S-shaped tubular metal frame that behaves just like a spring. When your friend, who weighs 600

Anvisha [2.4K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of the friend, W = 600 N

When the friend sits on the metal frame it bends downward 4 cm, we can say that the compression in the it is 4 cm or 0.04 m

To find,

Spring constant for this chair or k

Solve :

The weight of an object is equal to the force exerted by the gravitational force, F = 600 N

According to Hooke's law, the force exerted by the spring is given by :

F = kx

k is the spring constant

$k=\dfrac{F}{x}$

$k=\dfrac{600\ N}{0.04\ m}$

k = 15000 N/m

Therefore, the spring constant of the spring is 15000 N/m.

A hammer strikes one end of a thick iron rail of length 8.80 m. A microphone located at the opposite end of the rail detects two

stepladder [879]

Answer:

ΔT = 0.02412 s

Explanation:

We will simply calculate the time for both the waves to travel through rail distance.

FOR THE TRAVELING THROUGH RAIL:

$T_{rail} = \frac{Distance}{Speed\ of\ Sound\ in\ Rail}\\\\T_{rail} = \frac{8.8\ m}{5950\ m/s}\\\\T_{rail} = 0.00148\ s$

FOR THE WAVE TRAVELING THROUGH AIR:

$T_{air} = \frac{Distance}{Speed\ of\ Sound\ in\ Air}\\\\T_{air} = \frac{8.8\ m}{343\ m/s}\\\\T_{air} = 0.0256\ s$

The separation in time between two pulses can now be given as follows:

$\Delta T = T_{air}-T_{rail} \\\Delta T = 0.0256\ s - 0.00148\ s\\$

What happens because of nuclear fusion?

Goshia [24]

This is what happens to the hydrogen gas in the core of the Sun. It gets squeeze together so tightly that four hydrogen nuclei combine to form one helium atom. This is called nuclear fusion. In the process some of the mass of the hydrogen atoms is converted into energy in the form of light.
