Answer:
<em>Earth's gravity pulls air as close to the surface as possible. ... As altitude increases, the amount of gas molecules in the air decreases—the air becomes less dense than air nearer to sea level. This is what meteorologists and mountaineers mean by "thin air." Thin air exerts less pressure than air at a lower altitude.</em>
Answer:
(a) Acceleration of the bag will be a=16.214m/sec^2
(B) Weight of the bag will be 137.2 N
Explanation:
We have given mass of the bag m = 14 kg
Force with which bag is lifted = 227 N
(A) According to newtons law we force is equal to F = ma , here m is mass and a is acceleration
So 
(b) Acceleration due to gravity 
We know that weight is given by W = mg , here m is mass and g is acceleration due to gravity
So weight 
So weight of the bag will be 137.2 N
The acceleration is -9.8m/s^2. The initial velocity is -8m/s. The initial position is 30m. This describes a position function of
-(9.8/2)t^2-8t+30=0
Solve the quadratic equation for t to get t=1.789s
Answer:
Explanation:
Given data
Space vehicle speed=5425 km/h relative to earth
The rocket motor speed=81 km/h and mass 4m
The command has mass m
From the conservation of momentum as the system isolated
Since the motion in on direction we can drop the unit vector direction
Where M is the mass of space vehicle which equals to sum of the motors mass and command mass.
The velocity of the motor relative to the earth equals the velocity of the motor relative to command plus the velocity of the command relative to earth
Where Vmc is the velocity of motor relative to command
This yields
Substitute the given values
Answer:
A) The continents and ocean basins undergo continuous change. Both are parts of lithospheric plates that move against each other. B) Divergent plate in Mid-Atlantic Ridge with material flowing into the ocean. C) A plate moved over a stationary site of magma upwelling "Hot Spot" and created a volcanic island chain over the time
Explanation:
A) The basic thought is, that instead of being permanent fixtures of the earth's surface, the continents and ocean basins undergo continuous change. Both are parts of lithospheric plates that move against each other, and in the process new crust is created at midoceanic ridges (spreading centers), and old crust is consumed at convergent plate boundaries (subduction zones).
B) There are basically three different types of plate boundaries:
Divergent boundaries -- where new crust is generated as the plates pull away from each other.
Convergent boundaries -- where crust is destroyed as one plate dives under another.
Transform boundaries -- where crust is neither produced nor destroyed as the plates slide horizontally past each other.
The best known of the divergent boundaries is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. This submerged mountain range, which extends from the Arctic Ocean to beyond the southern tip of Africa, is but one segment of the global mid-ocean ridge system that encircles the Earth.
C) The linear arrangement of many seamounts indicates that they formed because the plate moved over a stationary site of magma upwelling, a so called mantle "Hot Spot". Seamounts are submarine volcanoes that may finally build above the water level, in which case they are called islands. If seamounts rise above sea level (due to buildup of material in a cone or upwelling mantle pushes up plate), they are subject to wave erosion and colonization by reefs, with both processes tending to create a flat top on the original volcanic cone.
