Correct answer choice is :

A) Atmospheric composition

Explanation:

A radiosonde is a battery-powered telemetry device transmitted into the environment normally by a weather balloon that regulates several atmospheric parameters and sends them by radio to a ground receiver. The radiosonde is a small, expandable device unit that is recessed below a six-foot-wide balloon inflated with hydrogen or helium. As the radiosonde stands at about 1,000 feet/minute, sensors on the radiosonde measure forms of pressure, temperature, and related moisture.

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. Atmospheric composition is not a measurement taken by a radiosonde. A radiosonde is an instrument used to measure different atmospheric parameters.

Determine the force of gravitational attraction between the Earth and the moon. Their masses are 5.98 x 1024 kg and 7.26 x 1022

monitta

Answer:

$F=1.95\times 10^{20}\ N$

Explanation:

Mass of Earth, $m_e=5.98 \times 10^{24}\ kg$

Mass of Moon, $m_m=7.26\times 10^{22}\ kg$

The distance between Earth and the Moon is, $d=384,400\ km$

We need to find the force of gravitational attraction between the Earth and the moon. The force of gravity is given by :

$F=G\dfrac{m_em_m}{r^2}\\\\F=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times \dfrac{5.98 \times 10^{24}\times 7.26\times 10^{22}}{(384400 \times 10^3)^2}\\\\F=1.95\times 10^{20}\ N$

So, the required force is $1.95\times 10^{20}\ N$ .

How is ultraviolet light and infrared light alike? How are they different?

swat32

Alike - both part of the light spectrum, cannot be seen with the naked eye

Different - IR is less energetic than UV, UV has a shorter wavelength than IR

IR - infrared
UV - ultraviolet

What happens when multiple forces act on an object?

kozerog [31]

They can either cancel each other or add up to a resultant force with a certain direction and modulus.
Newton's second law states that F=m*a, where F is the resultant force, ie ΣF.
