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

Physics

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.

fredd [130]

Answer:

0.25m²

Explanation:

We know that the summation of forces in the vertical direction is zero

So

PA-mg=0

A=mg/p

So

Substituting

A= 75* 9.8/3*10^-3

=0.25m² which is the total shoe area

A roller coaster starts from rest at its highest point and then descends on its (frictionless) track. Its speed is 36 m/s when i
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

its speed when its height was half that of its starting point is 25.46 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

final speed of the roller coaster, v = 36 m/s

Applying general equation of motion;

V² = U² + 2gh

where;

V is the final speed of the roller coaster

U is the initial speed of the roller coaster = 0

h is the height attained at a given velocity

36² = 0 + (2 x 9.8)h

1296 = 19.6 h

h = 1296/19.6

h = 66.1224 m

when its height was half that of its starting point, h₂ = ¹/₂ h

h₂ = ¹/₂(66.1224 m) = 33.061 m

At h = 33.061 m, V = ?

V² = U² + 2gh

V² = 0 + 2 x 9.8 x 33.061

V² = 648

V = √648

V = 25.46 m/s

Therefore, its speed when its height was half that of its starting point is 25.46 m/s

How do we determine the age of rocks and other geologic features?
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:To establish the age of a rock or a fossil, researchers use some type of clock to determine the date it was formed. Geologists commonly use radiometric dating methods, based on the natural radioactive decay of certain elements such as potassium and carbon, as reliable clocks to date ancient events.
