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 as you rise above the tropopause until you get to the estratopause.

A baseball has a momentum of 6.0 kg.m/s south and mass of 0.15kg. What’s the baseballs velocity?

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

v=40 m/s south

Explanation:

Momentum

It's a physical magnitude that measures the product of the mass by the velocity of a particle. Its units in the International System is kg.m/s and the formula is

$p=m.v$

Where m is the mass and v the velocity of the particle. If we wanted to solve for v, we have

$\displaystyle v=\frac{p}{m}$

The baseball has a momentum of 6.0 kg.m/s south and mass of 0.15kg, thus

$\displaystyle v=\frac{6}{0.15}=40\ m/s$

The velocity is directed to the south

A 50.0 N box sliding on a rough horizontal floor, and the only horizontal force acting on it is friction. You observe that at on

Vikki [24]

Answer:

-4.0 N

Explanation:

Since the force of friction is the only force acting on the box, according to Newton's second law its magnitude must be equal to the product between mass (m) and acceleration (a):

$F_f = ma$ (1)

We can find the mass of the box from its weight: in fact, since the weight is W = 50.0 N, its mass will be

$m=\frac{W}{g}=\frac{50.0 N}{9.8 m/s^2}=5.1 kg$

And we can fidn the acceleration by using the formula:

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

where

v = 0 is the final velocity

u = 1.75 m/s is the initial velocity

t = 2.25 s is the time the box needs to stop

Substituting, we find

$a=\frac{0-1.75 m/s}{2.25 s}=-0.78 m/s^2$

(the acceleration is negative since it is opposite to the motion, so it is a deceleration)

Therefore, substituting into eq.(1) we find the force of friction:

$F_f = (5.1 kg)(-0.78 m/s^2)=-4.0 N$

Where the negative sign means the direction of the force is opposite to the motion of the box.

ALWAYS use significant figure rules. Remember that these rules apply to all numbers that are measurements. A person walks along

Elza [17]

To find the total number of miles traveled by a person, we add the distance that he has traveled: 3.0 + 5.00 + 4.000.

Now, to find the accurate number of significant figures when adding measurements, the basic rule for addition is to use the least number of decimal places when reporting the result.

Now, since 3.0 has the least number of decimal places, we report the sum with 1 decimal place and have 12.0 miles as the total distance traveled by the person to reach his destination.

Answer: 12.0 miles
