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.

What type force is your answer in number 4

Alexandra [31]

When an object is stationary all the forces acting on the object comes in equilibrium with each other.

The forces acting on a stationary object are:

Normal force (upwards)
Gravitational force (downwards)
push force
friction force

All these forces cancel out each other.

Two men standing on the same side of wall and at the same distance from It, such that they are 4oom apart when one fires a gun t

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

1. 571.43m/s

2. 142.9m and 342.9m

Explanation:

1.Take the difference in time.

1.2-0.7=0.7 seconds

Take the distance between them and divide with differnce in time.

400÷0.7=571.43 seconds.

2.Take the time of the two men and divide by two.

0.5÷2= 0.25 secs

1.2÷2= 0.6 secs

multiply each with the velocity.

0.25×571.43=142.9m

0.6×571.43=342.9m

A stunt driver rounds a banked, circular curve. The driver rounds the curve at a high, constant speed, such that the car is just

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

option C and D

Explanation:

When a stunt driver is rotating on the banked road the force which is responsible for the centripetal acceleration of the car is Frictional force and the Normal Force.

The Frictional force component of the banked road will protect the car from skidding.

And the normal force component will protect the car from toppling inward due to centripetal force acting on it.

Hence, the correct answer is option C and D

Why do alpha particles and nuclei repel each other rather than attract eachother

Vesnalui [34]

Both have positive charge. In fact, an alpha particle IS a nucleus of a Helium atom.
