What is the relationship between temperature and altitude in the stratosphere? (2 points).

1 answer:

8 0

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>

A 60.0 kg girl stands up on a stationary floating raft and decides to go into shore. She dives off the 180 kg floating raft with

lord [1]

Momentum, p = m.v
m of the girl = 60.0 kg
m of the boat = 180 kg
v of the girl = 4.0 m/s

A) Momentum of the girl as she is diving:
p = m.v = 60.0 kg * 4.0 m/s = 24.0 N/s

B) momentum of the raft = - momentum of the girl = -24.0 N/s

C) speed of the raft

p = m.v ; v = p/m = 24.0N/s / 180 kg = -0.13 m/s [i.e. in the opposite direction of the girl's velocity]

An inventor develops a stationary cycling device by which an individual, while pedaling, can convert all of the energy expended

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

$Q=94185\ J$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of water, $m=0.3\ kg$

initial temperature of water, $T_i=20^{\circ}C$

final temperature of water, $T_f=95^{\circ}C$

specific heat of water, $c=4186\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}$

<u>Now the amount of heat energy required:</u>

$Q=m.c.\Delta T$

$Q=0.3\times 4186\times (95-20)$

$Q=94185\ J$

Since all of the mechanical energy is being converted into heat, therefore the same amount of mechanical energy is required.

A body is at aheight of 81m and is ascending upwards with a velocity of 12m/s .a body of 2 kg weight is dropped from it.if g=10m

butalik [34]

First the velocity drops to zero in 1.2 secs. In those seconds it went upwards for 7.2 m, then it went from 87.2 to 0m. x-x0=v0*t+1/2*g*t^2 ergo t=sqrt(2x/g) that is 4.1761 s. Finally the total time required is 5.3761 s

A crate remains stationary after it has been placed on a ramp inclined at an angle with the horizontal. Which of the following s

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

d. It is equal to the component of the gravitational force acting down the ramp.

Explanation:

The stationary crate is inclined at an angle with the horizontal. The Recall, Frictional Force is any Force that opposes motion.

Because the Force of Friction that is opposing the motion of the crate along the inclination side.

Therefore this Frictional force is balanced or equal to the force that is driving the inclined force.

Hence Frictional Force is equal to the Gravitational Force that is acting in the ramp, that is why the crate is stationery.
