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.

If gravity between the Sun and Earth suddenly vanished, Earth would continue moving in
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Earth would continue moving by uniform motion, with constant velocity, in a straight line

Explanation:

The question can be answered by using Newton's first law of motion, also known as law of inertia, which states that:

"an object keeps its state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external net force different from zero"

This means that if there are no forces acting on an object, the object stays at rest (if it was not moving previously) or it continues moving with same velocity (if it was already moving) in a straight line.

In this problem, the Earth is initially moving around the Sun, with a certain tangential velocity v. When the Sun disappears, the force of gravity that was keeping the Earth in circular motion disappears too: therefore, there are no more forces acting on the Earth, and so by the 1st law of Newton, the Earth will continue moving with same velocity v in a straight line.

A 38-kg canoe breaks free from its dock and floats downriver at a speed of 2.2 m/s. What is the momentum of the canoe? 48.0 m/s
Brut [27]
Momentum of a body is calculated by multiplying the mass of a moving body with its velocity. When a body is at rest it has zero momentum since the velocity is also zero.
In this case the momentum of the canoe will be;
 38 kg × 2.2 m/s = 83.6 kgm/s
Therefore, the correct answer is 83.6 kg m/s

When using a simple machine, the benefit of using less force to lift an object is offset by the need to push for a larger ____ s
WITCHER [35]

When using a simple machine, the benefit of using less force to lift an object is offset by the need to push for a larger distance so that energy can be conserved.

<u>Explanation: </u>

A simple machine utilized for completing the works easily. So in order for easy and quick completion of works, these machines may increase the amount of force acting on the object by increasing the velocity or speed of the machine. As velocity term is present so the machines may also change the directions of force acting on the object of concern to do the work soon just like pulley.

Also other way of completing the work with less input force requirement is by increasing the distance or area of action for the force acting on it. As work done is a measure of acting force on a region multiplied with the displacement occurred with that force.

It can be known that force seems to be inversely proportional to distance or area of action. So if we need to use less force to lift an object, it is offset by the need to push for a larger distance in order to conserve the energy.
