Even though you are getting closer to the sun as you ascend into the toposphere, why does the temperature drop?

Answer: The lower areas of the Atmosphere have a high temperature through the heats from the ground.

Explanation: High temperature experienced on the Earth surface is majorly caused by heats from the ground ( Earth crust).As a person ascend up to the Toposphere the temperature continues to reduce because because the heat from the ground is reduced as the heights increased.

It has been proven that as a person ascends into the Toposphere the amount of air and pressure reduces this will eventually lead to expansion of the gas particles which will then reduce the temperature.

A 5 kg object moving to the right at 4 m/s collides inelastically with a 5 kg object
skad [1K]

Answer:

The linear momentum of a particle with mass m moving with velocity v is defined as

p = mv (7.1)

Linear momentum is a vector . When giving the linear momentum of a particle you must

specify its magnitude and direction. We can see from the definition that its units must be

kg·m

s

. Oddly enough, this combination of SI units does not have a commonly–used named so

we leave it as kg·m

s

!

The momentum of a particle is related to the net force on that particle in a simple way;

since the mass of a particle remains constant, if we take the time derivative of a particle’s

momentum we find

dp

dt = m

dv

dt = ma = Fnet

so that

Fnet =

dp

dt (7.2)

Does wind have atoms and molecules in int
satela [25.4K]
All forms of matter are comprised of atoms. Wind in itself is the movement of particles(air). Wind does not have particles since it is an action and not a form of matter.

You are standing on a large sheet of frictionless ice and holding a large rock. In order to get off the ice, you throw the rock
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

0.4778 m/s

Explanation:

To solve this question, we will make use of law of conservation of momentum.

We are given that the rock's velocity is 12 m/s at 35°. Thus, the horizontal component of this velocity is;

V_x = (12 m/s)(cos(35°)) = 9.83 m/s.

Thus, the horizontal component of the rock's momentum is;

(3.5 kg)(9.83 m/s) = 34.405 kg·m/s.

Since the person is not pushed up off the ice or down into it, his momentum will have no vertical component and so his momentum will have the same magnitude as the horizontal component of the rock's momentum.

Thus, to get the person's speed, we know that; momentum = mass x velocity

Mass of person = 72 kg and we have momentum as 34.405 kg·m/s

Thus;

34.405 = 72 x velocity

Velocity = 34.405/72

Velocity = 0.4778 m/s
