An object is released from rest high above the surface of the earth. when it has fallen halfway to the surface, its kinetic energy is ke1. after it has fallen twice as far, just before it hits the surface of the earth, its kinetic energy is ke2. 1) how does ke2 compare to twice ke1?

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.

i believe the answer would be:

d. violin, clarinet, french horn, and tuba
