ANSWER
B - Air density is lower, so there is less heat transfer
EXPLANATION
We want to identify why temperature decreases with higher altitude.
When radiation is absorbed by the earth's surface, it heats the surroundings and the air through convection and conduction.
However, as we ascend higher into the atmosphere, the amount of solar radiation absorbed by the troposphere's gases decreases significantly.
Due to less heat transfer, air molecules start to move away from each other causing a decrease in air density
Hence, we see that temperature decreases with increasing altitude because there is less heat transfer due to the lower air density.
The answer is option B.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
When a satellite is orbiting the earth, the centripetal force is balanced by the gravitational force as :
...........(1)
Where
M is the mass of the earth
m is the mass of the planet
From equation (1), the speed of the satellite depends only on the mass of the earth and the orbital radius.
So, If a payload of material is added until it doubles the satellite's mass, the earth's pull of gravity on this satellite will double but the satellite's orbit will not be affected. It is true.
Electricity is the controlled flow of electrons. They are made to travel in the same direction at the same time. If you have an insulator, it stops or severely inhibits the flow of electrons. Such a device is found on telephone poles. Those are made of glass like materials.
Answer:
the paper ball falls faster and the unfolded paper falls at a slower rate
Explanation:
this is because gravity is pulling both objects down to the ground and hence they are falling. Both objects have the same mass and weight but the resultant force of the paper ball is smaller than that of the unfolded paper. The unfolded paper has a larger surface area and so a larger force is acted upon it, meaning there is more air resistance. This shows that the paper ball falls faster than the unfolded paper.
Friction, engine thrust, normal reaction and weight, these are the forces acting on motor when it moves in a straight line
