Answer:

The best statement which describe this is actually:

D. Temperature decreases with altitude until the stratosphere is reached, and then it increases from there.

Explanation:

From the graph shown, it could be seen that, temperature decrease with height. The higher the height, the lower the temperature. <em>For example, from the graph, when the height was around 50 km, the temperature was within the range of -10⁰C to 0⁰C. On the other hand, when the height increases around 78 km, the temperature decreases to the range of  to -70 ⁰C to -80⁰C</em>

An airplane flies 12 m/s due north with a velocity of 35.11 m/s. how far east does it fly?
goblinko [34]
The plane's velocity of 35.11 m/s is actually due in a north-eastward direction. The 12 m/s velocity is the vertical component of the plane's velocity, hence it is pointing northwards. We will use the formula:

Vy = Vsin∅

To determine the angle ∅ at which the plane is flying. This is:

12 = 35.11 * sin∅
∅ = 20.0 degrees

The eastward velocity is:

Vx = Vcos∅
Vx = 35.11 * cos(20)
Vx = 33.0 m/s

The plane's eastward velocity is 33.0 m/s

What is the answer?
Andrews [41]

Answer:

6.26 m/s

Explanation:

Pretty slow.... the PE (Potential Energy) at 2m will be converted to KE (Kinetic Energy) at the bottom of the track (neglecting friction)

PE    =   KE

mgh = 1/2 mv^2     divide both sides of the equation by 'm'

gh    = 1/2 v^2             multiply both sides by 2

2 gh = v^2               take sqrt of both sides

v = sqrt ( 2gh) = sqrt ( 2*9.81*2) = 6.26 m/s

A frog is at the bottom of a 17-foot well. Each time the frog leaps, it moves up 3 feet. If the frog has not reached the top of
docker41 [41]

Answer:

The frog takes 8 jumps to reach top of well

Explanation:

Given data

Frog at bottom=17 foot

Each time frog leaps 3 feet

Frog has not reached the top of the well, then the frog slides back 1 foot

To Find

Total number of leaps the frog needed to escape from well

Solution

in 1 jump distance jumped=3+(-1)

                                           =2 feet

                                           =2×1 feet

The "-1" is because the frog goes back

Now After 2 jumps the distance jumped as:

                     Distance Jumped=2+2

                     Distance Jumped=2*2

                                                   =4 feet

Similarly after 7 jumps

                    Distance Jumped=2+2+......+2

                    Distance Jumped=2*7

                                                 =14 feet

Now after 8th jump the frog climbs but doesnot slide back as it is reached to the top of well.

So

              Distance Jumped=(Distance Jumped after 7 jumps)+3

                                           =14+3

                                           =17 feet

The frog takes 8 jumps to reach top of well

What does it mean for water to have a high heat capacity
Aliun [14]

Answer:

Its heat capacity is higher than that of any other liquid or solid, its specific heat being 1 cal / g, this means that to raise the temperature of 1 g of water by 1 ° C it is necessary to provide an amount of heat equal to a calorie . Therefore, the heat capacity of 1 g of water is equal to 1 cal / K.

Explanation:

The water has a very high heat capacity, a large amount of heat is necessary to raise its temperature 1.0 ° K. For biological systems this is very important because the cellular temperature is modified very little in response to metabolism. In the same way, aquatic organisms, if water did not possess that quality, would be very affected or would not exist.

This means that a body of water can absorb or release large amounts of heat, with little temperature change, which has a great influence on the weather (large bodies of water in the oceans take longer to heat and cool than the ground land). Its latent heats of vaporization and fusion (540 and 80 cal / g, respectively) are also exceptionally high.
