The density of atmosphere (measured in kilograms/meter3) on a certain planet is found to decrease as altitude increases (as meas

ured from the planet's surface). What type of relationship exists between the altitude and the atmospheric density, and what would the atmospheric density be at an altitude of 1,291 kilometers?

I know that the relationship between altitude and atmospheric density is that the higher the altitude, the lesser the density, and the lower the altitude the higher the density. Lower density float to the top, and higher density is 'heavy' so it comes down

Earth’s polar ice caps contain about 2.3 × 1019 kg of ice. This mass contributes essentially nothing to the moment of inertia of
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

Initial moment of inertia of the earth I₁ = 2/5 MR² , M is mss of the earth and R is the radius . If ice melts , it forms an equivalent shell of mass  2.3 x 10¹⁹ Kg

Final moment of inertia I₂ = 2/5 M R² + 2/3  x 2.3 x 10¹⁹ x R²

For change in period of rotation we shall apply conservation of angular momentum law

I₁ ω₁  = I₂ ω₂  ,  ω₁ and   ω₂ are angular velocities initially and finally .

I₁ / I₂     =  ω₂ / ω₁

I₁ / I₂     =  T₁ / T₂  , T₁ , T₂ are time period initially and finally .

T₂ / T₁ = I₂ / I₁

(2/5 M R² + 2/3  x 2.3 x 10¹⁹ x R²) / 2/5 MR²

1 + 5 / 3  x 2.3 x 10¹⁹ / M

= 1 + 5 / 3  x 2.3 x 10¹⁹ / 5.97 x 10²⁴

= 1 + .0000064

T₂ = 24 (1 + .0000064)

= 24 hours + .55 s

change in length of the day = .55 s .

A projectile is shot on level ground with a
erastova [34]

Answer:

time rising = 34 / 9.8 = 3.47 sec

total time in air = 2 * 3.47 sec = 6.94 sec

(time rising must equal time falling)

R = 17 m/s * 6.94 s = 118 m

Can also use range formula

R = v^2 sin (2 theta) / g

tan theta = 34 / 17 = 2

theta = 63.4 deg

2 theta = 126.9 deg

sin 126.9 = .8

v^2 = 17^2 + 34^2 = 1445 m^2/s^2

R = 1445 * .8 / 9.8 = 118 m    agreeing with answer found above

Four balls with different masses are dropped simultaneously from the heights
Scorpion4ik [409]
D will hit last because if air resistance is null then the only force enacting on the balls is the force of gravity. Force of Gravity has an acceleration of 9.81 ms^2 and so every ball had the same acceleration and ball D is the furthest away from the floor.

Two students measure the time constant of an RC circuit. The first student charges the capacitor using a 12 V battery, then lets
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

The answer is: c.) Both students get the same time constant, since the time constant does not depend on the charge on the capacitor

Explanation:

Both students, because the time constant is not dependent on the capacitor charge.  We can express the equation of the time constant as follows:

Time constant = RC

In this equation it is observed that the time constant is equal to the multiplication of the resistance (R) multiplied by the capacitance (C)
