Which layer of the atmosphere is just above the troposphere?

1 answer:

6 0

The answer would Stratosphere because 1) The troposphere is the first layer above the surface and contains half of the Earth's atmosphere. Weather occurs in this layer. 2) Many jet aircrafts fly in thestratosphere because it is very stable. Also, the ozone layer absorbs harmful rays from the Sun

If the resistance of a circuit increases, that means that the current has to

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

If resistance increases current decreases.

Explanation:

Current is inversely proportional to the resistance.
from the relation given below, we can clearly see the relation between current and resistance;

V=IR

I ∝ 1/R

This relation shows that when resistance increases,current decreases.

The height of the Washington Monument is measured to be 170 m on a day when its temperature is 35.0°C. What will the change in i

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

The deformation is 0.088289 m

The final height of the monument is 170-0.088289 = 169.911702 m

Explanation:

Thermal coefficient of marble varies between (5.5 - 14.1) ×10⁻⁶/K = α

So, let us take the average value

(5.5+14.1)/2 = 9.8×10⁻⁶ /K

Change in temperature = 35-(-18) = 53 K = ΔT

Original length = 170 m = L

Linear thermal expansion

$\frac{\Delta L}{L} = \alpha\Delta T\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=\frac{\alpha\Delta T}{L}\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=9.8\times 10^{-6}\times 53\times 170$

The deformation is 0.088289 m

The final height of the monument is 170-0.088289 = 169.911702 m (subtraction because of cooling)

An isolated conducting sphere has a 17 cm radius. One wire carries a current of 1.0000020 A into it. Another wire carries a curr

14 ms is required to reach the potential of 1500 V.

Explanation:

The current is measured as the amount of charge traveling per unit time. So the charge of electrons required for each current is determined as the product of current with time.

$Charge = Current \times Time$

As two different current is passing at two different times, the net charge will be the different in current. So,

$\text { Charge }=(1.0000020-1.0000000) \times t=2 \times 10^{-6} \times t$

The electric voltage on the surface of cylinder can be obtained as the ratio of charge to the radius of the cylinder.

$V=\frac{k q}{R}$

Here $k = 9 * 10^9$ , q is the charge and R is the radius. As $q=2 \times 10^{-6} \times t$ and R =17 cm = 0.17 m, then the voltage will be

$V=\frac{9 \times 10^{9} \times 2 \times 10^{-6} \times t}{0.17}$

The time is required to find to reach the voltage of 1500 V, so

$1500 =\frac{9 \times 10^{9} \times 2 \times 10^{-6} \times t}{0.17}$

$\begin{aligned}&t=\frac{1500 \times 0.17}{\left(9 \times 10^{9} \times 2 \times 10^{-6}\right)}\\&t=14.1666 \times 10^{-3} s=14\ \mathrm{ms}\end{aligned}$

So, 14 ms is required to reach the potential of 1500 V.

It is correct to say that impulse is equal toA) momentum.B) the change in momentum.C) the force multiplied by the distance the f

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

B) the change in momentum.

Explanation:

The impulse is defined as the product between the force applied on an object (F) and the duration of the collision ( $\Delta t$ ):

$J=F \Delta t$ (1)

We can rewrite the force by using Newton's second law, as the product between mass (m) and acceleration (a):

$F=ma$

So, (1) becomes

$J=ma \Delta t$

Now we can also rewrite the acceleration as ratio between the change in velocity and change in time: $a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$ . If we substitute into the previous equation, we find

$J=m\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}\Delta t=m\Delta v$

And the quantity $m\Delta v$ is equivalent to the change in momentum, $\Delta p$ .
