Please help!! A single constant force is exerted on an object. The graph describes the objects energy. How much work was done to increase the speed of the object from 1.0 m/s to 3.0 m/s?

A: 1.5 J
B: 2.0 J
C: 4.0 J
D: 4.5 J

C. 4.0 J

Explanation:

Work is equal to the change in kinetic energy or kinetic energy final - kinetic energy initial. 1/2 mv^2 is the equation for kinetic energy. SInce the mass is the same, you don't have to include it when solving. 1/2 times 1^2 = 1/2. 1/2 times 3^2 = 4.5. 4.5 - 0.5 = 4 J

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.
