If the surface air pressure is 1000 mb and the pressure at the top of the atmosphere (75 km) is 0 mb, at what altitude would I f

Answer: 5.5km

Explanation:

Atmospheric pressure will be 500 mb (that is half of the total 1000mb air pressure).

Pressure decreases with increasing altitude. This is because at At higher altitudes, there are fewer air molecules above a the known or given surface than a similar surface at lower levels.

Pressure decreasing with higher altitudes also means that  air pressure decreases rapidly at lowerevels but more slowly at higher levels.

It is also known that more than half of the atmospheric molecules are located below 5.5 km(that is atmospheric pressure decreases within the lowest 5.5 km to about fifty(50) percent( that is 500 millibar).

Two boxes sit side by side on a smooth horizontal surface. The lighter box 5.2 kg, the heavier box has a mass of 7.4kg (a) find
Paladinen [302]

OK.  So you're pushing on the small box, and on the other side of it, the small
box is pushing on the big box. So you're actually pushing both of them.

-- The total mass that you're pushing is (5.2 + 7.4) = 12.6 kg.

-- You're pushing it with 5.0N of force.

-- Acceleration of the whole thing = (force)/(mass) = 5/12.6 = <em>0.397 m/s²</em> (rounded)

-- Both boxes accelerate at the same rate. So the box farther away from you ...
the big one, with 7.4 kg of mass, accelerates at the same rate.

The force on it to make it accelerate is (mass) x (acceleration) =

                                                              (7.4 kg) x (5/12.6 m/s²) =  <em>2.936 N.</em>

The only force on the big box comes from the small box, pushing it from behind. 
So that same  <em>2.936N</em>  must be the contact force between the boxes.

What information could you gather about a star if its light curve had multiple
yanalaym [24]

The information that could be gathered about a star whose light curve has multiple symmetrical depths is ; The shape and surface variegation of the star

The light curves of a KBO ( moons and stars ) are measured as a rate of the brightness of a star in relation to time. therefore the study of the light curve having multiple symmetrical depths ( depth of brightness ) will give an information about the shape/size and the surface variegation of the star

Hence we can conclude that The information that could be gathered about a star whose light curve has multiple symmetrical depths is ; The shape and surface variegation of the star

Draw velocity-ime graph for uniform moion of an object , when initially body is at rest.
Klio2033 [76]
When the body is at rest, its speed is zero, and the graph lies on the x-axis.

When the body is in uniform motion, the speed is constant, and the graph is a horizontal line, parallel to the x-axis and some distance above it.

It's impossible to tell, based on the given information, how these two parts of the
graph are connected.  There must be some sloping (accelerated) portion of the graph
that joins the two sections, but it cannot be accounted for in either the statement
that the body is at rest or that it is in uniform motion, since acceleration ... that is,
any change of speed or direction ... is not 'uniform' motion'.
