An oxygen molecule is moving near the earth's surface. Another oxygen molecule is moving in the ionosphere (the uppermost part o

f the earth's atmosphere) where the Kelvin temperature is three times greater. Determine the ratio of the translational rms speed in the ionosphere to the translational rms near the earth's surface.'

Answer:

The ratio of the translational rms speed in the ionosphere to the translational rms near the earth's surface is \sqrt 3 :1

Explanation:

The relation between the translational rms speed and the temperature is given by :

v_{rms}=\sqrt{\dfrac{3kT}{m}}

So, v_{rms}\propto \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{T} }

When the temperature is three times greater.  

v'_{rms}=\dfrac{1}{3T}

The ratio of the translational rms speed in the ionosphere to the translational rms near the earth's surface is :

\dfrac{v_{rms}}{v'{rms}}=\dfrac{\sqrt 3}{1}

Hence, this is the required solution.

how do Swati and Banks adjust their body position during a skydiving jump so they can fall at the same rate
professor190 [17]

While skydiving, its not just freely falling under Earth's gravity. Additional force called drag acts against the gravity which slows down the rate of fall. Drag is caused by the air molecules which pushes against the body as it falls through them. This is actually a significant amount of force which slows down the rate of fall of the body. Drag depends on the contact surface area and weight. More the surface area in contact, more would be the drag. The sitting position of the skydiver would experience less drag than the chest down position because of the less contact surface area of the body with the air molecules while in the former case. No two persons have identical body shape and weight. Hence, the rate of fall can be made nearly equal but not exactly equal. This is would be possible when they are having same body position.

Anton [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Gravitational force between two objects having mass m₁ and m₂ at a distance R

F = G m₁ m₂ / R²

Force between baby and father F₁ = 6.67x10⁻¹¹ x 4.1 x 120 / .18²

= 1.01 x 10⁻⁶ N

b )

Force between baby and Jupiter

F₂ = 6.67x10⁻¹¹ x 1.9x 10²⁷ x 4.1 / ( 6.29 x 10¹¹ )²

= 1.31 x 10⁻⁶  N

c )

Ratio = 1.01 / 1.31

= .77

Which data set has the smallest standard deviation?
777dan777 [17]
The answer would be B.
<span>
Standard deviation basically measures how spread out the values are. Without solving, you can easily tell which one among your choices have a smaller deviation. The closer the values are to each other the smaller the standard deviation. The values of choice B are the closest together, so you can assume that they have the smallest standard deviation. </span>

ValentinkaMS [17]

Explanation:

We know ,

  • v = u + at
  • u = v - at
  • u = 500 - 2*50
  • u = 400 m/s
