As altitude increases, temperature increases. The stratosphere is the part of the atmosphere that starts in the tropopause and ends in the estratopause. In the troposphere, the air is close to the Earth surface. The air surface can absorb more sunlight energy than the air, so the Earth surface heats the air. As you go higher, the distance to the Earth surface is higher, so the temperature is lower. The troposphere ends in the tropopause, where this trend changes. In the estratopause, there is a lot of ozone, which absorbs the dangerous UV radiation and converts into heat. That heat warms the air. So the air which is close to the estratopause is warm because of the heat released by the ozone reactions. The tropopause is far from the Earth surface and far from the ozone layer, that’s why it is cold. So the tropopause is cold and the estratopause is warm, which means: the air becomes warmer <span>as you rise above the tropopause until you get to the estratopause.</span>

E) Thermal energy is released during
vichka [17]

Answer:

e) True, f) False

Explanation:

e) Let consider a close system, that is, a system with no mass interactions with surroundings. Then, we get the following expression by the First Law of Thermodynamics:

Q_{net,in} - W_{net, out} = \Delta U (1)

Where:

Q_{net, in} - Net input heat, measured in joules.

W_{net, out} - Net output work, measured in joules.

\Delta U - Change in thermal energy, measured in joules.

Please notice that work comprises all kind of work (i.e. mechanical, electric, magnetic), whereas heat comprises all heat interactions including chemical and radioactive phenomena.

If thermal energy is released, then \Delta U < 0, which is caused by three scenarios:

(i) Q_{net,in} < 0, W_{net, out} < 0, |Q_{net,in}|>|W_{net,out}|

(ii) Q_{net, in} > 0, W_{net,out} > 0, |Q_{net,in}|

(iii) Q_{net,in}< 0, W_{net, out}>0

In the case Q_{net,in} > 0, W_{net, out}, the thermal energy of the system is increased. Therefore, thermal energy is released during some energy conversions. Answer: True

f) A liquid solidifies when temperature goes below point of fusion, meaning a realease of heat with no work interactions. That is:

Q_{net, in} = \Delta U, Q_{net, in} < 0 (2)

If Q_{net, in} < 0, then  \Delta U < 0. Then, if a liquid absorbs heat energy, then thermal energy is increase and the liquid does not solidifies. Answer: False.

Which of the following is/are true? Electromagnetic waves are created by accelerating charges. Electromagnetic waves are transve
Vikki [24]

Answer:

All of the above are true.

Explanation:

(a). true  

whenever  charge particle  move back and froth from its mean position then it will produce oscillating electric and magnetic fields, . so an em wave can be obtain by accelerating charge

(b). true

the electric field and the magnetic field have vibrations in the perpendicular direction along  the motion of the wave  so electromagnetic wave is a transverse wave. therefore, the EM wave is a Transverse wave

(c) true .

The Electromagnetic wave consists of the two mutually perpendicular electric and magnetic fields  and also both fields are  perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.

(d) true .

An electromagnetic wave  carry  energy through  vacuum with a speed   of 3 \times 10^8 m/s  

   so , all of the above are true.

Assuming that Albertine's mass is 60.0 kg , for what value of μk, the coefficient of kinetic friction between the chair and the
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

\mu_k=0.101

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of Albertine, m = 60 kg

It can be assumed, the spring constant of the spring, k = 95 N/m

Compression in the spring, x = 5 m

A glass sits 19.8 m from her outstretched foot, h = 19.8 m

When she just reach the glass without knocking it over, a force of friction will also act on it. Using the conservation of energy for the spring mass system such that,

\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2=\mu_k mgh

\mu_k=\dfrac{kx^2}{2mgh}

\mu_k=\dfrac{95\times (5)^2}{2\times 60\times 9.8\times 19.8}

\mu_k=0.101

So, the coefficient of kinetic friction between the chair and the waxed floor is 0.101. Hence, this is the required solution.
