Answer:

A book lying on a table - Balanced force
An airplane cruising in level flight - Balanced
A rock falling from a cliff - Unbalanced force
A bridge collapsing in an earthquake - Unbalanced force
A man sitting on a park bench - Balanced force
A space shuttle taking off - Unbalanced force
A car maintaining a constant speed on a straight road - Balanced force
An airplane landing - Unbalanced force

Explanation:

Usually, one or more forces act on a body at an instant of time. When these forces acting on a body and bring the body in the equilibrium position, the force is said to be balanced. The unbalanced force changes the equilibrium state of the body.

As in the case of an airplane cruising in a level flight, the weight of the plane will be equal to the lift force and the thrust is equal to the drag. So the plane is experiencing a balanced force.

Answer:

1. A book lying on a table (Balanced force)

2.An airplane cruising in level flight (Balanced force)

3.A rock falling from a cliff (Unbalanced force)

4.A bridge collapsing in an earthquake (Unbalanced force)

5.A man sitting on a park bench (Balanced force)

6.A space shuttle taking off (Unbalanced force)

7.A car maintaining a constant speed on a straight road (Balanced force)

8.An airplane landing (Unbalanced force)

Explanation:

An object will be in equilibrium or balanced state if the sum off all the forces and toques on that object will be equal to zero.

in case of book lying on the table its weight is balanced by the normal force exerted by the table. So, balance force is acting on it. Same analogy can be applied to a man sitting on bench.

When air plane cruise in level flight, the weight of airplane is equal to the lift force and drag force is equal to the thrust force. Hence, balanced force acts on the airplane.

When car runs with the uniform speed on the road, engine force is equal to the frictional force. Hence, balanced force acts on the car.

In all other cases unbalance forces act which can be judged just by looking statements.

A large fraction of the ultraviolet (UV) radiation coming from the sun is absorbed by the atmosphere. The main UV absorber in ou

elena55 [62]

Answer:

$3.2\times 10^{-7}\ m$ or 0.32 μm.

Explanation:

Given:

The radiations are UV radiation.

The frequency of the radiations absorbed (f) = $9.38\times 10^{14}\ Hz$

The wavelength of the radiations absorbed (λ) = ?

We know that, the speed of ultraviolet radiations is same as speed of light.

So, speed of UV radiation (v) = $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

Now, we also know that, the speed of the electromagnetic radiation is related to its frequency and wavelength and is given as:

$v=f\lambda$

Now, expressing the above equation in terms of wavelength 'λ', we have:

$\lambda=\frac{v}{f}$

Now, plug in the given values and solve for 'λ'. This gives,

$\lambda=\frac{3\times 10^8\ m/s}{9.38\times 10^{14}\ Hz}\\\\\lambda=3.2\times 10^{-7}\ m\\\\\lambda=3.2\times 10^{-7}\times 10^{6}\ \mu m\ [1\ m=10^6\ \mu m]\\\\\lambda=3.2\times 10^{-1}=0.32\ \mu m$

Therefore, the wavelength of the radiations absorbed by the ozone is nearly $3.2\times 10^{-7}\ m$ or 0.32 μm.

Which causes the thermocline?

Igoryamba

<span>Thermocline is a layer between warm water from the ocean’s surface and cool water from below the ocean. In here, the temperature decreases rapidly from the warmer layer to the colder layer. A thermocline forms due to the heat of the sun heating the ocean’s surface. Because of the difference in density between warm and cooler ocean water, cooler ocean water sinks and warmer ocean water floats. This is caused due to the heat and mass transfer between particles of the ocean. The answer is letter C. The sun’s radiation does not extend below a certain depth; therefore, deeper ocean water is colder than surface water.</span>
