Answer:

Troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere and thermosphere. The next region is the exosphere, but that region is 500+ km from the Earth's surface.

Actually Welcome to the Concept of the Atmosphere.

The four layers of Atmosphere starting from bottom are as follows:

1.) Troposphere - The troposphere is the lowest layer of our atmosphere. Starting at ground level, it extends upward to about 10 km (6.2 miles or about 33,000 feet) above sea level.

2.) Stratosphere - The next layer up is called the stratosphere. The stratosphere extends from the top of the troposphere to about 50 km (31 miles) above the ground.

3.) Mesosphere - Above the stratosphere is the mesosphere. It extends upward to a height of about 85 km (53 miles) above our planet. Most meteors burn up in the mesosphere.

4.) Thermosphere - The layer of very rare air above the mesosphere is called the thermosphere. High-energy X-rays and UV radiation from the Sun are absorbed in the thermosphere, raising its temperature to hundreds or at times thousands of degrees.

A capacitor consists of two square plates, 8.7 cm on a side, separated by a 2.0 mm air gap. How much energy would be stored in t
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

122.84 J

Explanation:

Since plate is square, area, A is given by (8.7/100)^{2}=0.007569m^{2}

The distance between plates, d, is given in the question as 2mm=0.002m

Charge on plate, Q, as given in the question is 240 \mu c

Assuming mica dielectric constant, k of 7

Capacitance, C is given by

C=\frac {k\epsilon_{o}A}{d}=\frac {(7)(8.85*10^{-12})(0.007569)}{0.002}=2.34*10*^{-10}F

Stored energy, E is given by

E=\frac {Q^{2}}{2C}=\frac {(240*10^{-6})^{2}}{2*(2.34*10^{-10})}=122.84J

Therefore, the stored energy is 122.84 J

if you double the mass of an object while leaving the net force unchanged what is the result of the acceleration
butalik [34]
Force = mass*acceleration
acceleration = Force/mass

If you double the mass then acceleration will be halved in order for the equation to still equal.

New acceleration = Force/(2)mass
New acceleration = (1/2)* Force/mass------->if you compare this to original acceleration equation above it is 1/2
