Lighter molecules move fast and escape from the upper atmosphere relatively quickly.

To find the answer, we have to know more about the lighter isotopes.

<h3>What are lighter isotopes?</h3>

Lighter molecules are mobile and soon leave the higher atmosphere.
A particular element's stable isotopes have slightly different atomic masses and quantum mechanical energies.
The lighter isotope of an element's chemical bonds are more easily broken than the heavier isotope's.
As a result, the light isotope typically benefits from chemical reactions.

Thus, we can conclude that, lighter molecules move fast and escape from the upper atmosphere relatively quickly.

horizontal clothesline is tied between 2 poles, 14 meters apart. When a mass of 3 kilograms is tied to the middle of the clothes

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

The tension is $T = 103.96N$

Explanation:

The free body diagram of the question is shown on the first uploaded image From the question we are told that

The distance between the two poles is $D =14 m$

The mass tied between the two cloth line is $m = 3Kg$

The distance it sags is $d_s = 1m$

The objective of this solution is to obtain the magnitude of the tension on the ends of the clothesline

Now the sum of the forces on the y-axis is zero assuming that the whole system is at equilibrium

And this can be mathematically represented as

$\sum F_y = 0$

To obtain $\theta$ we apply SOHCAHTOH Rule

So $Tan \theta = \frac{opp}{adj}$

$\theta = tan^{-1} [\frac{opp}{adj} ]$

$= tan^{-1} [\frac{1}{7}]$

$=8.130^o$

$=> \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 2T sin\theta -mg =0$

$=> \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ T =\frac{mg}{2 sin\theta}$

$=> \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ T = \frac{3 * 9.8 }{2 sin \theta }$

$=> \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ T =\frac{29.4}{2sin(8.130)}$

$=> \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ T = 103.96N$

A 2.0 m tall person is standing in front of a flat vertical mirror. What minimum height must the mirror have if the person is to

dangina [55]

Answer:

100cm

Explanation:

Since the eyes are 6 cm below the top of her head, the point of incidence of the ray must be

200cm-3cm=197cm

Since the eyes are 194 cm from her feet, the point of incidence of this ray must be

194cm/2=97cm

So the lower edge of the mirror must be 97 cm from the ground and the vertical dimension of the mirror must be 197 cm - 97 cm = 100 cm, which is half the height of the person.
