Consider two identical small glass balls dropped into two identical containers, one filled with water and the other with oil. Which ball will reach the bottom of the container first? Why?

The ball dropped in water will reach the bottom of the container first because of the much lower viscosity of water relative to oil.

Explanation:

Oil is more less dense than water. Thus, the molecules that make up the oil are larger than those that that make up water, so they cannot pack as tightly together as the water molecules will do. Hence, they will take up more space per unit area and are we can say they are less dense.

So, we can conclude that the ball filled with water will reach the bottom of the container first this is because oil is less dense than water and so the glass ball filled with oil will be a lot less denser than the one which is filled with water.

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.
