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

How far did the object travel by the end of eight seconds, according to the graph above?
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

<em>The object traveled 4 cm by the end of eight seconds.</em> Correct: A)

Explanation:

<u>Speed vs Time Graph</u>

In a speed-time graph, speed is plotted on the vertical axis and time is plotted on the horizontal axis. If the graph is a horizontal line, the speed is constant, if the line is sloped up, the speed is increasing and the acceleration is positive and constant, and if the line is sloped down, the speed is decreasing and the acceleration is negative and constant.

The distance traveled by the object can be found by calculating the area under the graph and above the x-axis.

The graph provided shows two different zones: the first 4 seconds, the speed is constant at 1 cm/s, and the last 4 seconds, the speed is zero, i.e. the object is not moving.

The area behind the first zone is a rectangle of height 1 cm/s and base 4 sec, thus the distance is 1 * 4 = 4 centimeters.

The second zone corresponds to an object at rest, thus no distance is traveled.

The object traveled 4 cm by the end of eight seconds.

A) Correct. As shown above

B) The distance traveled is 4 cm. Incorrect

C) The distance traveled is 4 cm. Incorrect

D) The distance traveled is 4 cm. Incorrect

Two students are watching a person riding a skateboard up and down a ramp. Each student shares what they think about the energy
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Raymond: I think the skateboarder has the same total energy at all points on the ramp

Explanation:

The total energy, also known as the total mechanical energy, is the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of the skateboarder

Given that the potential energy is the energy gained due to elevation, the maximum potential energy is obtained at the top of the ramp, while the maximum kinetic energy, which is the energy due to motion, is at the bottom of the ramp where the skateboarder moves fastest.

However, by the energy conservation principle, the kinetic energy of he skateboarder comes from the conversion of the potential energy, such that the total energy is the same at any particular point on the ramp.

Suppose your surface body temperature averaged 90 degrees F. How much radiant energy in W/m^2 would be emitted from your body?
Debora [2.8K]

493 \; \text{W}\cdot \text{m}^{-2}.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

The Stefan-Boltzmann Law gives the energy radiation <em>per unit area</em> of a black body:

\dfrac{P}{A} = \sigma \cdot T^{4}

where,

  • P the total power emitted,
  • A the surface area of the body,
  • \sigma the Stefan-Boltzmann Constant, and
  • T the temperature of the body in degrees Kelvins.

\sigma = 5.67 \times 10^{-8} \;\text{W}\cdot \text{m}^{-2} \cdot \text{K}^{-4}.

T = 90 \; \textdegree{}\text{F} = (\dfrac{5}{9} \cdot (90-32) + 273.15) \; \text{K} = 305.372 \; \text{K}.

\dfrac{P}{A} = \sigma \cdot T^{4} = 5.67 \times 10^{-8} \times 305.372^{4} = 493\; \text{W}\cdot \text{m}^{-2}.

Keep as many significant figures in T as possible. The error will be large when T is raised to the power of four. Also, the real value will be much smaller than 493\; \text{W}\cdot \text{m}^{-2} since the emittance of a human body is much smaller than assumed.
