A jet plane leaves the stratosphere and returns to the ground. How does the temperature outside the jet change during its descen
t through the troposphere? A. It decreases and then increases. B. It decreases steadily. C. It increases steadily. D. It increases and then decreases.
2 answers:
Answer : A. It decreases and then increases.
Explanation : Troposphere is the lowermost layer of atmosphere.
Stratosphere is next layer up to the troposphere. As the jet descends from stratosphere towards the troposphere, the temperature initially decreases and then at troposphere is roughly constant and then steadily increases.
So, option (A) is correct.

Answer:
<em>The final speed of the second package is twice as much as the final speed of the first package.</em>
Explanation:
<u>Free Fall Motion</u>
If an object is dropped in the air, it starts a vertical movement with an acceleration equal to g=9.8 m/s^2. The speed of the object after a time t is:
And the distance traveled downwards is:
If we know the height at which the object was dropped, we can calculate the time it takes to reach the ground by solving the last equation for t:
Replacing into the first equation:
Rationalizing:
Let's call v1 the final speed of the package dropped from a height H. Thus:
Let v2 be the final speed of the package dropped from a height 4H. Thus:
Taking out the square root of 4:
Dividing v2/v1 we can compare the final speeds:
Simplifying:
The final speed of the second package is twice as much as the final speed of the first package.
