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.

SashulF [63]

Answer: Technician B

Explanation: In manual cars,the clutch safety is designed to stop the vehicle from moving when you start the gnition. It prevents power from flowing into the circuit . This is found in the pedal mechanism of cars so depressing the clutch pedal will likely cause a defective in the clutch safety. You will begin to perceive the clutch burning and white fumes coming out from the pedal.

Determine the CM of a rod assuming its linear mass density λ (its mass per unit length) varies linearly from λ = λ0 at the left
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

x_c= \dfrac{5}{9}L

I=\dfrac {7}{12}\lambda_ 0 L^3

Explanation:

Here mass density of rod is varying so we have to use the concept of integration to find mass and location of center of mass.

At any  distance x from point A mass density

\lambda =\lambda_0+ \dfrac{2\lambda _o-\lambda _o}{L}x

\lambda =\lambda_0+ \dfrac{\lambda _o}{L}x

Lets take element mass at distance x

dm =λ dx

mass moment of inertia

dI=\lambda x^2dx

So total moment of inertia

I=\int_{0}^{L}\lambda x^2dx

By putting the values

I=\int_{0}^{L}\lambda_ ox+ \dfrac{\lambda _o}{L}x^3 dx

By integrating above we can find that

I=\dfrac {7}{12}\lambda_ 0 L^3

Now to find location of center mass

x_c = \dfrac{\int xdm}{dm}

x_c = \dfrac{\int_{0}^{L} \lambda_ 0(1+\dfrac{x}{L})xdx}{\int_{0}^{L} \lambda_0(1+\dfrac{x}{L})}

Now by integrating the above

x_c=\dfrac{\dfrac{L^2}{2}+\dfrac{L^3}{3L}}{L+\dfrac{L^2}{2L}}

x_c= \dfrac{5}{9}L

So mass moment of inertia I=\dfrac {7}{12}\lambda_ 0 L^3 and location of center of mass  x_c= \dfrac{5}{9}L

9.58 A spring of equilibrium length L1 and spring constant k1 hangs from the ceiling. Mass m1 is suspended from its lower end. T
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

The distance of m2 from the ceiling is L1 +L2 + m1g/k1 + m2g/k1 + m2g/k2.

See attachment below for full solution

Explanation:

This is so because the the attached mass m1 on the spring causes the first spring to stretch by a distance of m1g/k1 (hookes law). This plus the equilibrium lengtb of the spring gives the position of the mass m1 from the ceiling. The second mass mass m2 causes both springs 1 and 2 to stretch by an amout proportional to its weight just like above. The respective stretchings are m2g/k1 for spring 1 and m2g/k2 for spring 2. These plus the position of m1 and the equilibrium length of spring 2 L2 gives the distance of L2 from the ceiling.
