<span>Air pressure is gravity pulling down on air molecules. Like us, air has also mass and the pressure is brought down by the earth’s gravity causing an increase in weight exerted on you as you descend lower into the atmosphere. So, as you enter into the other layers of atmosphere above the troposphere, the air pressure starts to decrease. <span>Below the atmosphere is the hydrosphere. This is where all liquid forms are located. And since the seawater has a greater mass than air, it has the greatest pressure. The answer is true.</span></span>

After getting a haircut, Joey’s barber spins him around in his barber’s chair 2 times per second. Is period or frequency given?
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

This figure given is the frequency; 2 times per second represents frequency.

What is frequency?

  • It is the number of times per seconds something goes past or around another.

 it is expressed as:

            Frequency  = \frac{n}{t}

                  where n is the number of turns

                              t is the time taken

  Therefore, the Barber spinned him 2 times in 1 second.

The period is the inverse of frequency. It is the time taken for a body to go through a point;

              Period  = \frac{t}{n }   = \frac{1}{f}    = \frac{1}{2}s

A 75kg man climbs the stairs to the fifth floor of a building. A total hieght of 16m. His potential energy has increased by
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

11760 joules

Explanation:

Given

Mass (m) = 75kg

Height (h) = 16m

Required

Determine the increment in potential energy (PE)

This is calculated as thus:

PE = mgh

Where g = 9.8m/s²

Substitute values for m, g and h.

P.E = 75 * 9.8 * 16

P.E = 11760 joules

A planet with a mass one-half that of Earth has a radius that is 3 times that of Earth's radius. What is the gravitational field
stiv31 [10]

The gravitational acceleration of a planet is proportional to the planet's mass, and inversely proportional to square of the planet's radius.

So when you stand on the surface of this particular planet, you feel a force of gravity that is

(1/2) / (3²)

of the force that you feel on the surface of the Earth.

That's <em>(1/18)</em> as much as on Earth.

The acceleration of gravity there would be about <em>0.545 m/s²</em>.  

This is about 12% less than the gravity on Pluto.

A 5.0 kg object moving at 5.0 m/s. KE = mv2 times 1/2
steposvetlana [31]

Answer: KE = 62.5J

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of object = 5kg

kinetic energy KE = ?

velocity of object = 5m/s

Since kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a moving object, and it depends on the mass (m) of the object and the velocity (v) by which it moves. Therefore, the object has kinetic energy.

i.e K.E = 1/2mv^2

KE = 1/2 x 5kg x (5m/s)^2

KE = 0.5 x 5 x 25

KE = 62.5J

Thus, the object has 62.5 joules of kinetic energy.
