Answer: Atmosphere can be broadly divided into four distinct layers based on their altitude and temperature.

These layers are- Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, and Thermosphere.

1) Troposphere ( extends upto 18 km from earth surface)- a layer that is closest to the surface of earth. It is called zone of weather as all the weather phenomenon ( such as storm, wind, precipitation, formation of clouds) occur in this layer. Temperature decreases with altitude in this layer.

2) Stratosphere (extends from 18 km to 50 km) - a layer above troposphere, where temperature increases with increase in altitude.

A boundary between stratosphere and mesosphere where temperature remains constant as elevation increases  is called Stratopause.

3) Mesosphere (extends 50 km upto 85 km) - a layer above stratosphere, where temperature decreases with increase in altitude.

A boundary between mesosphere and thermosphere, where temperature remains constant as elevation increases  is called Mesopause.

4) Thermosphere (extends from 85 km upto 600 km)-  a layer above mesosphere, where temperature again increases with increase in altitude. It is an extremely hot layer because of absorption of X rays and UV rays.

Thus, correct match for the question is-  

Troposphere -A) Layer closest to the Earth where all weather occurs.

Mesosphere- E) begins between 50-60km and decreases in temperature as elevation increases.

Mesopause- C) temperature remains constant as elevation increases.

Stratosphere -B) temperature increases as elevation increases.

Stratopause -D) temperature remains at a constant zero degrees Celsius as elevation increases.

In a second order lever system the force ratio is 2.5, the load is at the distance of 0.5m from the fulcrum find distance of eff
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

1.25 m

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Force ratio = 2.5

Distance of load from the fulcrum = 0.5 m

Distance of effort =.?

The distance of the effort from the fulcrum can be obtained as illustrated below:

Force ratio = Distance of effort / Distance of load

2.5 = Distance of effort / 0.5

Cross multiply

Distance of effort = 2.5 × 0.5

Distance of effort = 1.25 m

Therefore, the distance of the effort from the fulcrum is 1.25 m

The sensor in the torso of a crash test dummy records the magnitude and direction of the net force acting on the dummy.If the du
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Here in crash test the two forces are acting on the dummy in two different directions

As we know that force is a vector quantity so we need to use vector addition laws in order to find the resultant force on it.

So here two forces are given in perpendicular direction with each other so as per vector addition law we need to use Pythagoras theorem to find the resultant of two vectors

so we can say

F_{net} = \sqrt{F_1^2 + F_2^2}

here given that

F_1 = 130.0 N

F_2 = 4500.0 N

now we will plug in all data in the above equation

F_{net} = \sqrt{4500^2 + 130^}

F_{net} = 4501.9 N

so it will have net force 4501.9 N which will be reported by sensor
