Which of the following graphs best shows the velocity v of the clay ball from when it is dropped until it hits the ground?

The correct option is;

C

Explanation:

The given information is that a clay ball is dropped from a certain height.

Therefore, the clay ball has an initial potential energy and zero kinetic energy

Which gives that the initial velocity of the clay ball = 0

As the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, the velocity of the clay ball increases

However, if the direction of measurement of the velocity is opposite to the direction in which the clay ball is falling, the velocity of the ball progressively increases negatively as shown in option C

answer: the exterior temperature of commercial jet planes as they leave the stratosphere and return to the ground increases steadily.

explanation:

the lower most layer of atmosphere is troposphere which extends from 0 to 12 km above the surface of the earth. the temperature initially decreases as distance is increased from the earth's surface. commercial jets fly in lower part of the stratosphere. the stratosphere extends upto 50 km. the temperature in stratosphere starts rising again due to presence of ozone which traps the uv rays.

thus, when the planes leave the stratosphere and return to the ground, the exterior temperature increases steadily.
