False because the Ionsophere lies between the Mesosphere and the Theromsphere. If can can you give me brainliest :o ?
In addition to acceleration of gravity we experience centrifugal acceleration away from the axis of rotation of the earth. this additional acceleration has value ac = r w^2 where w = angular velocity and r is distance from your spot on earth to the earth's axis of rotation so r = R cos(l) where l = 60 deg is the lattitude and R the earth's radius and w = 1 / (24hr x 3600sec/hr)
<span>now you look up R and calculate ac then you combine the centrifugal acc. vector ac with the gravitational acceleration vector ag = G Me/R^2 to get effective ag' = ag -</span>

The orbital period of a satellite is
u=GM
p = sqrt((4*pi/u)*a^3)
Where
p = period
u = standard gravitational parameter which is GM (gravitational constant multiplied by planet mass). This is a much better figure to use than GM because we know u to a higher level of precision than we know either G or M. After all, we can calculate it from observations of satellites. To illustrate the difference, we know GM for Mars to within 7 significant figures. However, we only know G to within 4 digits.
a = semi-major axis of orbit.
Since we haven't been given u, but instead have been given the much more inferior value of M, let's calculate u from the gravitational constant and M. So
u = 6.674x10^-11 m^3/(kg s^2) * 6.485x10^23 kg = 4.3281x10^13 m^3/s^2
The semi-major axis of the orbit is the altitude of the satellite plus the radius of the planet. So
150000 m + 3.396x10^6 m = 3.546x10^6 m
Substitute the known values into the equation for the period. So
p = sqrt((4 * pi / u) * a^3)
p = sqrt((4 * 3.14159 / 4.3281x10^13 m^3/s^2) * (3.546x10^6 m)^3)
p = sqrt((12.56636 / 4.3281x10^13 m^3/s^2) * 4.458782x10^19 m^3)
p = sqrt(2.9034357x10^-13 s^2/m^3 * 4.458782x10^19 m^3)
p = sqrt(1.2945785x10^7 s^2)
p = 3598.025212 s
Rounding to 4 significant figures, gives us 3598 seconds.</span>
Hello!
Most ocean waves obtain their energy and motion from the wind.
Ocean waves are surface waves that move across the surface of the ocean. When wind touches the surface of the water, there is friction in the contact zone. This friction causes a drag effect, that makes wrinkles on the surface of the water. As the wrinkles get bigger, they transform into full-blown waves, and the taller the wave, the more energy it can extract from the wind, making them even bigger and to move longer distances.
Have a nice day!
