The weight of the atmosphere

Reference no: EM13556780

The weight of the atmosphere above 1 m^2 of Earth's surface is about 100,000 N. Density of course, become less with altitude. But suppose the density of air were a constant 1.2 kg/m^3. Calculate where the top of the atmosphere would be.

What speed does the pulse travel along the spring : The stretched length of a spring is 4.28 m. A ribbon is tied aroundthe spring at a point near its center. A pulse created at one endof the spring makes 13 back-and-forth trips along the spring in6.59 s.

What is the net work done on the object : A 44.7-kilogram object is pulled 7.5 meters along a horizontal surface with a 130-Newton force at 28o above horizontal. What is the net work done on the object

A spring is stretched between two posts : A spring is stretched between two posts. When a pulse is produced at one end of the spring, it makes 4 back-and-forth trips along the spring in 3.4 s. If the pulse has a propagation speed of 12 m/s, how far apart are the posts?

A flower pot falls from the ledge of a building : A flower pot falls from the ledge of a building.

How far is it from the water to the top of the block : A wooden block with equal sides of 4 cm is floating in water. If the density of the block is half the density of water, how far is it from the water to the top of the block?

Find the maximum altitude reached by the rocket : A rocket is launched at an angle of 54.0° above thehorizontal with an initial speed of 97m/s. The rocket moves for 3.00 s along its initial line of motionwith an acceleration of 30.0m/s2. At this time, its engines fail and the rocket proceeds to m..

Weight of block of metal is measured with scale first in air : The weight of a block of metal is measured with a scale first in air, then in water. Find the specific gravity of the metal ( the ratio of the density of metal to the density of water). The tension of the block is measured 6.0N in air and 4.0N in wa..

What is its speed when it moves infinitely far from origin : A charge of 2.19 µC is held fixed at the origin. A second charge of 2.19 µC is released from rest at the position (1.15 m, 0.470 m) . If the mass of the second charge is 2.10 g, what is its speed when it moves infinitely far from the origin?
