Answer:

True

Explanation:

Biosphere refer to regions of the earth(sphere) that supports life. It is made up of biotic and abiotic components. Its abiotic components are non-living components that support life and is made up of the lithosphere (the earth crust,mantle) , atmosphere(area of gases and air which is held by gravitational force) and the hydrosphere(all water bodies which includes ocean, sea, lakes, rivers etc).

A setting Sun appears red due to the

natulia [17]

Answer:

a. scattering of lower frequencies by larger particles in the air.

b. light's longer path through the air at sunset.

Explanation:

Sun light has to travel several distances through the earth's atmosphere during Sun set and Sun rise. This light gets scattered by air molecules present and the shorter wave length blue gets upwards and red comes down. That is why the sun light appears red in our eyes.

Which is the best reason for why we have seasons in Anchorage? a. The Earth orbits the sun b. The Earth is tilted on its axis c.

KatRina [158]

Answer:

a. The Earth orbits the sun

Explanation:

Anchorage is the largest city in the United state of Alaska.

The major reason why we have seasons anywhere on the earth is the orbiting of the sun around the earth. Since the orbit of the earth is elliptical around the sun so it sometimes comes near the sun and sometimes far away from the sun due to which the average temperature of the earth keep varying during the entire year in phases of the distance from the sun.

When the earth is closer to the sun then the average temperature of the earth is relatively warmer than the average temperature when the earth is farther from the sun.

Tilt of the earth's axis also complements this phenomenon of season change but without the revolution of the earth around the sun in its elliptical orbit that could not be possible.

2. A force of 156 N acts on a 7.3-kg bowling ball for 0.40 s.

atroni [7]

Answer:

$62.4N\cdot s$

Explanation:

The change in momentum of the ball is equal to the impulse exerted on it, therefore:

$\Delta p = I = F \Delta t$

where

$\Delta p$ is the change in momentum

F is the average force exerted on the ball

$\Delta t$ is the time during which the force is applied

In this problem,

F = 156 N

$\Delta t = 0.40 s$

So, the change in momentum of the ball is

$\Delta p =(156)(0.40)=62.4N\cdot s$

Does air pressure increase or decrease with an increase in altitude is the rate of change constant

Sliva [168]

The rate of pressure decreases with an increase in altitude is not constant. Rather, pressure decreases rapidly near Earth's surface and more gradually at greater heights.

If you do 1,000 J of work on a system and remove 500 J of heat from it, what is the change in its internal energy

DENIUS [597]

Here I advice doing thought experiment and not remembering equations. By doing thought experiment you will write down equation by yourself.

Doing some work on a system means that system will "absorb" that energy. Here, system absorbs 1000J of energy. Now you are cooling system down by removing 500J of energy. That means that system will lose 500J of energy

All of that can be written as 1000 - 500 = 500 which means that after cooling your system has 500J left.
