Answer:

A. absorption of ultraviolet rays from the Sun

Explanation:

The thermosphere helps protect and regulate Earth's temperature by absorbing much of the UV radiation and X-rays emitted by the Sun. When the Sun is most active, the thermosphere heats up and increases in size, increasing its protective power.

Just like in the oceans, the Earth's atmosphere experiences waves and tides that help move energy within it. The winds and the general circulation of the thermosphere are strong drivers of these tides and waves.

What type of reaction feels cold to the touch? A. Endothermic, because energy is being released into the surroundings B. Endothe
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

D. Exothermic, because energy is being absorbed from the surroundings

Explanation:

This is true about the Exothemic reaction due to the fact that, the reaction occurs outside the body. During this reaction, the energy being absorbed <em>from the surrounding environment will hit the body surface thereby creating the coldness due to the heat given out from the body  being minimal.</em>

When blue light shines into a prism what happens?
9966 [12]

Answer:

Blue light has the shortest wavelength amongst all the colours that combine to make white light. This means the blue light diffracts (bends) the most out of all of them. There will be no dispersion of colours because ideally, the blue light must consist of only one frequency.

an object is dropped from a height of 25 meters. at what velocity will it hit the ground? a 7.0 m/s b 11 m/s c 22 m/s d 49 m/s e
kipiarov [429]
Assuming that the object starts at rest, we know the following values:

distance = 25m
acceleration = 9.81m/s^2 [down]
initial velocity = 0m/s

we want to find final velocity and we don't know the time it took, so we will use the kinematics equation without time in it:

Velocity final^2 = velocity initial^2 + 2 × acceleration × distance

Filling everythint in, we have:

Vf^2 = 0^2 + (2)(-9.81)(-25)
The reason why the values are negative is because they are going in the negative direction

Vf^2 = 490.5

Take the square root of that

Final velocity = 22.15m/s which is answer c
