Because there are miles of air on top of you and air has mass so all the mass of the air on top of you is on your head and the ground. (the air can't penetrate the ground)

Take note: Air is also denser at sea level because it was compressed.

Hello!

Because as you get closer to the surface of the earth, the more air that is on top of you. At the top of the atmosphere, there is less air, and everything is a vacuum, where you have no weight. When you get close to the earth, the weight of the air builds until it when you're at the very lowest point of the earths surface, all the air in the atmosphere above you is pressing down.

Thank You!

Paha777 [63]
<span>An object roating at one revokution per second has an angular velocity of 360 degrees per second or 2pi radians per second. This is found by taking the number of revolutions over a period of time and than dividing by the chosen period of time to get the velocity. There are 360 degrees or 2pi radians in one revolution.</span>

HELP PLS i need this right now
N76 [4]

Answer:

V = 44.4 units.

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must use the Pythagorean theorem. Which is defined by the following expression.

V = \sqrt{(V_{x})^{2} +(V_{y})^{2} }

where:

Vx = - 43 units

Vy = 11.1 units

Now replacing:

V=\sqrt{(-43)^{2} +(11.1)^{2} }\\V=44.4 units

An x-ray photon is scattered by an originally stationary electron. how does the frequency of the scattered photon compare relati
Viefleur [7K]

The frequency of the scattered photon decreases or it will be lower compare to the frequency of incident photon. An x-ray photon scatters in one direction after a collision and some energy is transferred to the electron as it recoils in another direction resulting to have less energy in the scattered photon. In addition, the frequencies will also depend on the differences of the angle at which the scattered photon leaves the collision and this incident is called Compton Effect.

a 2-kg object is dropped from a height of 1000 m. What is the force of air resistance on the object when it reaches terminal vel
strojnjashka [21]
It stops accelerating when the air resistance is equal to its weight.
That's (m•g)

= (2 kg) • (9.8 m/s^2)

= 19.6 newtons
