Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Ionosphere is the outermost layer of the Earth's atmosphere,extending from 60 km to 1,000 km altitude.
It mainly consists of ionized gases by the solar radiation.
It is very important layer to Earth because it influences the radio propagation to distant places on Earth.
Being ionized it reflects high frequency(shortwave) radio waves to the sky as well as to the Earth by a technique called "skip" or "skywave" propagation for the communication over long distances.

A ball is thrown at 60 degrees and lands in 18.5 seconds what is the velocity of the ball at the start

n200080 [17]

Answer:

the initial velocity of the ball is 104.67 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

angle of projection, θ = 60⁰

time of flight, T = 18.5 s

let the initial velocity of the ball, = u

The time of flight is given as;

$T = \frac{2u\times sin(\theta)}{g} \\\\2u\times sin(\theta) = Tg\\\\u = \frac{Tg}{2\times sin(\theta)} \\\\u = \frac{18.5 \times 9.8}{2\times sin(60^0)} \\\\u = 104.67 \ m/s$

Therefore, the initial velocity of the ball is 104.67 m/s.

PLZ HELP!!! Detailed PLZ!

Korolek [52]

Answer:

Potential Energy = 294J, Kinetic Engergy = 48.02J

Explanation:

We have these formulas:

Potential Energy = mass * gravitational force * height (m) = 1 * 9.8 * 30 = 294(J)

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 * mass * velocity^2 = 1/2 * 1 * 9.8^2 = 48.02 (J)

As the rock falling at an acceleration of 9.8m/s^2 which means for each second, the rock increases 9.8m/s. I think we are missing time to find the instantaneous velocity, the formula is (initial displacement - final displacement)/ (initial time - final time) which will directly give the final answer for you.
