When looking at this question, we can easily start by eliminating certain answers. In the selections you've provided, you've shown atmosphere. We can easily eliminate letter A, as that makes absolutely no sense. Moving on, you also eliminate letter B, as that deals with ecosystems and whatnot. And finally, you can eliminate hydrosphere, letter C - as that's not the same. That deals with water, like oceans or rivers.
That leaves you with D) Lithosphere for your answer. The Lithosphere is the rigid part of the earth, the outermost layer, I would say. The crust / mantle. That's why it would be letter D - plate tectonics seem to have relations with the Lithosphere. The lithosphere is affected.
It has 99 electrons because an element has the same number of protons and electrons
When a swimmer pushes through water to swim they are propelled forward because of the water resistance against the hand and feet. It's A. The water doesn't automatically push the swimmer forward. It releases a reaction after the swimmer pushes through the water.
The kinetic energy is
.
Explanation:
The kinetic energy of an object is given by

where
K is the kinetic energy of the object
m is the mass of the object
v is the speed of the object
For the comet in this problem, we have:
is its mass
is the speed
First, we convert the speed from km/h to m/s:

Therefore, the kinetic energy of the comet is

Answer:
B) 20N.s is the correct answer
Explanation:
The formula for the impulse is given as:
Impulse = change in momentum
Impulse = mass × change in speed
Impulse = m × ΔV
Given:
initial speed = 40m/s
Final speed = -60 m/s (Since the the ball will now move in the opposite direction after hitting the bat, the speed is negative)
mass = 0.20 kg
Thus, we have
Impulse = 0.20 × (40m/s - (-60)m/s)
Impulse = 0.20 × 100 = 20 kg-m/s or 20 N.s
