<h3><u>Answer and explanation;</u></h3>
  • <u><em>A neutral sodium atom contains 11 protons, 12 neutrons and 11 electrons. By removing an electron from this atom we get a positively charged Na+ ion that has a net charge of +1.</em></u> Thus; Sodium atom is neutral whereas sodium ion is a charged species with a charge of +1.
  • <u><em>Sodium ion is positively charged. In sodium ion, there are 11 protons and 12 neutrons but 10 electrons</em></u>, i.e., sodium ion contains lesser number of electrons. Additionally,the size of sodium ion is smaller than that of sodium atom.

Use the drop-down menus to complete each sentence about the layers of the atmosphere. If the did not exist, Earth might be destr
ozzi

Answer:

If the mesosphere did not exist, Earth might be destroyed by chunks of rock from space.

The stratosphere is located 12 to 50 kilometers from Earth's surface.

Both the trophosphere and mesosphere get colder as altitude increases.

The ozone in the stratosphere protects people from ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

The thermosphere has the highest temperature of any layer in Earth's atmosphere.

Explanation:

Different layers of the atmosphere are;

  • Troposphere

It is the lowest layer of atmosphere that begins at ground level and extends upward to about 10 km. In this layer, all organisms live, weather occurs and most clouds appear. As altitude increases, the temperature decreases i.e., the layer gets colder.

  • Stratosphere

This layer is located at the top of the troposphere  and extends up to about 50 km from Earth's surface. The ozone layer present in this layer absorbs high-energy ultraviolet (UV) light from the Sun. Here, the temperature rises with altitude. The passenger jets are usually fly in this layer.

  • Mesosphere

Above the stratosphere, the mesosphere extends upward to about 85 km from Earth's surface. The chunks of rock from space such as meteors burn upon entering the mesosphere and protect the Earth. In this layer, the temperature gets colder as altitude increases and so the coldest temperatures (about -90° C) in Earth's atmosphere are found at the top of this layer.  

  • Thermosphere

This layer is located above the mesosphere and the air here is really very thin. The thermosphere absorbs high-energy X-rays and UV radiation from the Sun and as a result, its temperature increases to hundreds or thousands of degrees i.e., 1,500° C or higher. This layer extends up to 500 to 1,000 km from the ground. Many satellites orbit Earth within this layer.

  • Ionosphere

The ionosphere is actually an extension of the thermosphere and so it is not a distinct layer like the others. It is filled with charged particles produced from the ionization of molecules by high temperatures in the thermosphere caused by the high-energy radiation from the Sun. The phenomenon called auroras (Northern Lights and Southern Lights) occurs in this layer. The different regions of the ionosphere reflecting the radio waves back to Earth and make the long-distance radio communication possible.

A Carnot engine operates with an efficiency of 26.0% when the temperature of its cold reservoir is 281 K. Assuming that the temp
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

The temperature of cold reservoir should be 246.818 K for efficiency of 35%

Explanation:

In first case we have given efficiency of Carnot engine = 26 % = 0.26

Temperature of cold reservoir T_L=281K

We know that efficiency of Carnot engine is given by

\eta =1-\frac{T_L}{T_H}

0.26 =1-\frac{281}{T_H}

T_H=379.72K

For second Carnot engine efficiency is given as 35% = 0.35

And temperature of hot reservoir is same so T_H=379.72K

So 0.35=1-\frac{T_L}{379.72}

T_L=246.818K

So the temperature of cold reservoir should be 246.818 K for efficiency of 35%

What is the approximate amount of thrust you need to apply to the lander to keep it's velocity roughly constant
earnstyle [38]

The approximate amount of thrust(force) you need to apply to the lander to

keep its velocity roughly constant is zero.

<h3>What is Newton's second law of motion?</h3>

Newton's second law of motion states that the acceleration the force acting

on the object is directly proportional to its rate of change of momentum.

F = m a

If the object is moving with uniform velocity, it simply means that the

acceleration is zero, and  the corresponding force will also be zero.
