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.

Answer:

(a)0.0675  J

(b)0.0675 J

(c)0.0675 J

(d)0.0675 J

(e)-0.0675 J

(f)0.459 m

Explanation:

15g = 0.015 kg

(a) Kinetic energy as it leaves the hand

E_k = \frac{mv^2}{2} = \frac{0.015*3^2}{2} = 0.0675  J

(b) By the law of energy conservation, the work done by gravitational energy as it rises to its peak is the same as the kinetic energy as the ball leave the hand, which is 0.0675 J

(c) The change in potential energy would also be the same as 0.0675J in accordance with conservation law of energy.

(d) The gravitational energy at peak point would also be the same as 0.0675J

(e) In this case as the reference point is reversed, we would have to negate the original potential energy. So the potential energy as the ball leaves hand is -0.0675J

(f) Since at the maximum height the ball has potential energy of 0.0675J. This means:

mgh = 0.0675

0.015*9.81h = 0.0675

h = 0.459 m

The ball would reach a maximum height of 0.459 m

where p fluid density

g is acceleration due to gravity, pressure at elevation,v is Velocity at elevation ,y is height of elevation.

As there are two tubes then the height of tube 1 is equal to height of tube two .

A container in the shape of a cube 10.0 cm on each edge contains air (with equivalent molar mass 28.9 g/mol) at atmospheric pres
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

a) m = 1.174 grams

b) F_g = 0.01151 N

c) F_c = 1013 N

Explanation:

Given:

- The length of a cube L = 10.0 cm

- The molar mass of air M = 28.9 g/mol

- Pressure of air P = 101.3 KPa

- Temperature of air T = 300 K

- Universal Gas constant R = 8.314 J/kgK

Find:

(a) the mass of the gas

(b) the gravitational force exerted on it

(c) the force it exerts on each face of the cube

(d) Why does such a small sample exert such a great force? (6%)

Solution:

- Compute the volume of the cube:

                               V = L^3  = 0.1^3 = 0.001 m^3

- Use Ideal gas law equation and compute number of moles of air n:

                               P*V = n*R*T

                                n = P*V / R*T

                                n = 101.3*10^3 * 0.001 / 8.314*300

                                n = 0.04061 moles

- Compute the mass of the gas:

                                m = n*M

                                m = 0.04061*28.9

                                m = 1.174 grams

- The gravitational force exerted on the mass of gas is due to its weight:

                                F_g = m*g

                                F_g = 1.174*9.81*10^-3

                               F_g = 0.01151 N

- The force exerted on each face of cube is due its surface area:

                                F_c = P*A

                                F_c = (101.3*10^3)*(0.1)^2

                                F_c = 1013 N

- The molecules of a gas have high kinetic energy; hence, high momentum. When they collide with the walls they transfer momentum per unit time as force. Higher the velocity of the particles higher the momentum higher the force exerted.
