Even though the object is weightless, it would need inertia, I.e, you pushing it or any form of transportation. So you would still have to push that 500kg to just keep it moving in space. Say if it were a planet with less gravitational force, it would be weightless.

Hello,

The answer is option C "<span>thermosphere".</span><span>

Reason:

The troposphere is the layer of the air that the harmful heat rays (from the sun is mostly absorbed). The thermosphere is directly above the exosphere which is the sphere with the thin layer of the sphere therefore the answer should be option C.

If you need anymore help feel free to ask me!

Hope this helps!

Calculate the ratio of the drag force on a jet flying at 1190 km/h at an altitude of 7.5 km to the drag force on a prop-driven t
Bond [772]

Answer:

\frac{D_{jet}}{D_{prop}}=2.865

Explanation:

Given data

Speed of jet Vjet=1190 km/h

Speed of prop driven Vprop=595 km/h

Height of jet 7.5 km

Height of prop driven transport 3.8 km

Density of Air at height 10 km p7.8=0.53 kg/m³

Density of air at height 3.8 km p3.8=0.74 kg/m³

The drag force is given by:

D=\frac{1}{2}CpAv^2\\

The ratio between the drag force on the jet to the drag force  on prop-driven transport is then given by:

\frac{D_{jet}}{D_{prop}}=\frac{(1/2)Cp_{7.5}Av_{jet}^2}{1/2)Cp_{3.8}Av_{prop}^2} \\\frac{D_{jet}}{D_{prop}}=\frac{p_{7.5}v_{jet}^2}{p_{3.8}v_{prop}}\\\frac{D_{jet}}{D_{prop}}=\frac{(0.53)(1190)^2}{(0.74)(595)^2}\\   \frac{D_{jet}}{D_{prop}}=2.865

What is the kinetic energy of a 144 gram baseball moving at a velocity of 38.7 meters per second?
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the baseball is  107.83 J

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the baseball, m = 144 g = 0.144 kg

velocity of the baseball, v = 38.7 m/s

The kinetic energy of the baseball is given by;

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

where;

m is mass of the object

v is speed of the object

K.E = ¹/₂(0.144)(38.7)²

K.E = 107.83 J

Therefore, the kinetic energy of the baseball is  107.83 J

At which latitudes do currents of dry sinking air cause the dry conditions of earth's major deserts
Inessa05 [86]
Currents of dry sinking air cause the dry conditions of earth's major deserts at: <span>30° N and 30° S Latitudes

At approximately 30 degrees from the equator, the air that moved up from the equator started to descends. This air, however, could only come from one direction. So when the air is blocked by a mountain, the other side will not receive any water that it contains. This makes the other sides of the mountain became really dry which will eventually cause the formation of the desert.</span>
