Answer:

Trophosphere

Explanation:

The troposphere is the atmospheric layer closest to the planet and is characterized because contains the largest percentage of the mass of the total atmosphere.

On special characteristic is that in this layer the temperature and water vapor content decrease a lot respect to the altitude. Also on this layer the Water vapor is important in order to regulate the air temperature since on this zone we have absorption of the solar energy.

The troposphere contains almost all the water vapor in the atmosphere. And specially on the tropics we have an accumulation of the water vapour.

All weather phenomena occur within the troposphere. Tropos means "change" and Troposphere means "region of mixing".

Above this layer, we have the tropopause, ranges in height from 5 miles near the poles up to 11 miles above the equator. And the height depends of the seasons, with an special characteristic: the is highest height occurs in the summer and lowest height occurs in the winter.

The troposphere contains almost 75% of the mass of the entire atmosphere. The air on this layer is composed by 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and 1% is made of argon, water vapor, and carbon dioxide.

So for this reason this is the Region that contains the majority of molecules in the atmosphere.

Why is the escape speed for a spacecraft independent of the spacecraft's mass?

scoray [572]

In order to escape the gravitational pull of our planet, any object must have an escape velocity of 7 km/s or more, anything lower than that will be slowed down by the pull of gravity, and will eventually returned to the surface of our planet. It is independent of mass, any lighter or heavier object must attain the required escaped velocity to reach space.

A 3.15-kg object is moving in a plane, with its x and y coordinates given by x = 6t2 − 4 and y = 5t3 + 6, where x and y are in m

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The sum of force along both components x and y is expressed as;

$\sum Fx = ma_x \ and \ \sum Fy = ma_y$

The magnitude of the net force which is also known as the resultant will be expressed as $R =\sqrt{(\sum Fx)^2 + (\sum Fx )^2}$

To get the resultant, we need to get the sum of the forces along each components. But first lets get the acceleration along the components first.

Given the position of the object along the x-component to be x = 6t² − 4;

$a_x = \frac{d^2 x }{dt^2}$

$a_x = \frac{d}{dt}(\frac{dx}{dt} )\\ \\a_x = \frac{d}{dt}(6t^{2}-4 )\\\\a_x = \frac{d}{dt}(12t )\\\\a_x = 12m/s^{2}$

Similarly,

$a_y = \frac{d}{dt}(\frac{dy}{dt} )\\ \\a_y = \frac{d}{dt}(5t^{3} +6 )\\\\a_y = \frac{d}{dt}(15t^{2} )\\\\a_y = 30t\\a_y \ at \ t= 2.15s; a_y = 30(2.15)\\a_y = 64.5m/s^2$

$\sum F_x = 3.15 * 12 = 37.8N\\\sum F_y = 3.15 * 64.5 = 203.18N$

$R = \sqrt{37.8^2+203.18^2}\\ \\R = \sqrt{1428.84+41,282.11}\\ \\R = \sqrt{42.710.95}\\ \\R = 206.67N$

Hence, the magnitude of the net force acting on this object at t = 2.15 s is approximately 206.67N

What if m1 is initially moving at 3.4 m/s while m2 is initially at rest? (a) find the maximum spring compression in this case?

Lisa [10]

<span>Ans : Initial E = KE = Â˝mvÂ˛ = Â˝ * 1.2kg * (2.2m/s)Â˛ = 2.9 J max spring compression where both velocities are the same: conserve momentum: 1.2kg * 2.2m/s = (1.2 + 3.2)kg * v â†’ v = 0.6 m/s which means the combined KE = Â˝ * (1.2 + 3.2)kg * (0.6m/s)Â˛ = 0.79 J The remaining energy went into the spring: U = (2.9 - 0.79) J = 2.1 J = Â˝kxÂ˛ = Â˝ * 554N/m * xÂ˛ x = 0.0076 m â† (a)</span>
