Answer:

If the mesosphere did not exist, Earth might be destroyed by chunks of rock from space.

The stratosphere is located 12 to 50 kilometers from Earth's surface.

Both the trophosphere and mesosphere get colder as altitude increases.

The ozone in the stratosphere protects people from ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

The thermosphere has the highest temperature of any layer in Earth's atmosphere.

Explanation:

Different layers of the atmosphere are;

  • Troposphere

It is the lowest layer of atmosphere that begins at ground level and extends upward to about 10 km. In this layer, all organisms live, weather occurs and most clouds appear. As altitude increases, the temperature decreases i.e., the layer gets colder.

  • Stratosphere

This layer is located at the top of the troposphere  and extends up to about 50 km from Earth's surface. The ozone layer present in this layer absorbs high-energy ultraviolet (UV) light from the Sun. Here, the temperature rises with altitude. The passenger jets are usually fly in this layer.

  • Mesosphere

Above the stratosphere, the mesosphere extends upward to about 85 km from Earth's surface. The chunks of rock from space such as meteors burn upon entering the mesosphere and protect the Earth. In this layer, the temperature gets colder as altitude increases and so the coldest temperatures (about -90° C) in Earth's atmosphere are found at the top of this layer.  

  • Thermosphere

This layer is located above the mesosphere and the air here is really very thin. The thermosphere absorbs high-energy X-rays and UV radiation from the Sun and as a result, its temperature increases to hundreds or thousands of degrees i.e., 1,500° C or higher. This layer extends up to 500 to 1,000 km from the ground. Many satellites orbit Earth within this layer.

  • Ionosphere

The ionosphere is actually an extension of the thermosphere and so it is not a distinct layer like the others. It is filled with charged particles produced from the ionization of molecules by high temperatures in the thermosphere caused by the high-energy radiation from the Sun. The phenomenon called auroras (Northern Lights and Southern Lights) occurs in this layer. The different regions of the ionosphere reflecting the radio waves back to Earth and make the long-distance radio communication possible.

Explain how a voltage is produced in the secondary coil of the transformer.
Tema [17]

Answer:

the primary coil current produces a magnetic field, which changes as the current changes. the iron core increases the strength of the magnetic field. the changing magnetic field induces a changing potential difference (voltage) in the secondary coil.

How heavy is an object that displaces 400N of water in a pool?
julia-pushkina [17]
All we can say is that the object's volume is about 41 liters. That's the same as the volume of water displaced.

We can't say anything about the object's weight. There is no direct connection between the weight of the object and the weight of the water it displaces.

A Red Rider bb gun uses the energy in a compressed spring to provide the kinetic energy for propelling a small pellet of mass 0.
Kay [80]

Answer:

a.6.5025 J

b.6.5025 J

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of pellet,m=0.27 g=0.27\times 10^{-3} kg

1 kg=1000 g

Spring constant,k=1800 N/m

x=8.5 cm=8.5\times 10^{-2} m

1m=100 cm

a.Potential energy stored in the compressed spring  is given by

P.E=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

P.E=\frac{1}{2}(1800)(8.5\times 10^{-2})^2

P.E=6.5025 J

b.By using law of conservation of energy

P.E of spring=K.E of the pellet

K.E of the pellet=6.5025 J

Ratling [72]
Balance and beaker of water. The balance will measure mass and the beaker will measure the volume when you take the initial volume without the key subtracting that value from the value with the key in the beaker

3. In some countries AC outlets near bathtubs are restricted to a maximum of 25 V to minimize the chance of dangerous shocks whi
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

The average resistivity of the human body (apart from surface resistance of the skin) is about 5.0 Ωm. The conducting path between the right and left hands can be approximated as cylinder 1.6 m long and 0.10 m in diameter. The skin resistance can be made negligible by soaking the hands in salt water. (a) What is the resistance between the hands if the skin resistance is negligible? (b) if skin resistance is negligible, what potential difference between the hands is needed for lethal shock current 100 mA?

Solution:

The resistance (R) of a material is given by the formula:

R = ρL / A

where L is the length of the conductor, ρ is resistivity and A is the cross sectional area.

a) R = ρL / A

ρ = 5.0 Ωm, L = 1.6 m, A = π(diameter²) / 4 = π(0.1²)/4 = 0.00785 m²

R = 5(1.6) / 0.00785 = 1018.6 ohm

b) To produce 100 mA, we need to use ohms law:

I = 100 mA = 0.1 A, R = 1018.6 ohm

V = IR = 0.1(1018.6)

V = 101.86 V
