Answer;

-Thermosphere

Explanation;

-The thermosphere lies between the exosphere and the mesosphere.It is a region of increasing temperature in Earth’s atmosphere that is located above the mesosphere.

-The thermosphere greatly helps in protecting the earth and making space exploration and modern forms of communication possible. It also supports and protects life on the planet. It recycles water, absorbs the sun's energy, and creates a moderate temperature.

-The aurora (Northern Lights and Southern Lights) mostly occur in the thermosphere. It is a natural electrical phenomenon characterized by the appearance of streamers of reddish or greenish light in the sky, especially near the northern or southern magnetic pole. The effect is caused by the interaction of charged particles from the sun with atoms in the upper atmosphere.

An aluminum cup of 150 cm3 capacity is completely filled with glycerin at 23°C. How much glycerin will spill out of the cup if t

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

1.19cm^3 of glycerine

Explanation:

Let Vo= 150cm^3 for both aluminum and glycerine, using expansion formula:

Volume of spill glycerine = change in volume of glycerine - change in volume of aluminum

Volume of glycerine = coefficient of volume expansion of glycerine * Vo* change in temperature - coefficient of volume expansion of Aluminum*Vo* change temperature

coefficient of volume expansion of aluminum = coefficient of linear expansion of aluminum*3 = 23*10^-6 * 3 = 0.69*10^-4 oC^-1

Change in temperature = 41-23 = 18oC

Volume of glycerine that spill = (5.1*10^-4) - (0.69*10^-4) (150*18) = 4.41*10^-4*2700 = 1.19cm3

A 99.1-kg baseball player slides into second base. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the player and the ground is μk =

Stels [109]

Answer:

628.022466 N

8.61 m/s

Explanation:

m = Mass

$\mu$ = Coefficient of friction

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

$F_f=\mu mg\\\Rightarrow F_f=0.646\times 99.1\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow F_f=628.022466\ N$

Magnitude of frictional force is 628.022466 N

$F=ma\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{F_f}{m}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{628.022466}{99.1}\\\Rightarrow a=6.33726\ m/s^2$

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=u-6.33726\times 1.36\\\Rightarrow u=8.61\ m/s$

Initial speed of the player is 8.61 m/s

You exert of force of 75 newtons on a rock. You push and you push, but you can't budge it. You are exhausted! How much work did

sergiy2304 [10]

You performed 0 work for the fact that work means the distance of movement made on an object not the amount of force it is exposed to. 0 work because it didn't move
