There is no definite end to earths atmosphere, but technically the border between the outer space and earth gets thinner as you move up from the earths surface. The Karman line is the closest definition there is which describes the end of the earth's atmosphere, it is 100 km above earth's sea level at approximately 1.56 % of total earth's radius. This describes the boundary between the outer space and the atmosphere.
C) is the correct answer.
Answer:
e
Explanation:
the field points to the right
The mass is rising with a constant speed.
=> So it has no vertical acceleration.
=> So there is no net vertical force acting on it.
=> So the sum of the vertical forces on it is zero.
There are two vertical forces acting on the mass.
=> the force of gravity, pulling it down
=> the tension in the cable, pulling it up.
The force of gravity acting on the mass (its weight) is (mass) x (gravity).
=> That's (120 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) downward.
=> That's 1,176 newtons downward.
If the vertical forces add up to zero, the other force ... the tension in the cable ... must be the same magnitude in the opposite direction.
=> The force of tension in the cable is <em>1,176 newtons upward</em>.
