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.

If a ball that is 10 meters above the ground is thrown horizontally at 5.51 meters per second. a. how long will it take for the

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

a. t = 1.43 s

b. d = 7.88 m

Explanation:

a. The time of flight can be found using the following equation:

$y_{f} = y_{0} + v_{0_{y}}t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$

Where:

$y_{f}$ : is the final height = -10 m

$y_{0}$ : is the initial height = 0

$v_{0_{y}}$ : is the initial speed in the vertical direction = 0

g: is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

By solving the above equation for "t" we have:

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2y_{f}}{g}} = \sqrt{\frac{2*10 m}{9.81 m/s^{2}}} = 1.43 s$

Hence, the ball will hit the ground in 1.43 s.

b. The distance in the horizontal direction can be found as follows:

$x_{f} = x_{0} + v_{0}t + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}$

Where:

x₀: is the initial position in the horizontal direction = 0

a: is the acceleration in the horizontal direction = 0 (it is moving at constant speed)

$x_{f} = 5.51 m/s*1.43 s = 7.88 m$

Therefore, the ball will travel 7.88 m before it hits the ground.

I hope it helps you!

: Does increasing temperature increase pressure?

Vesnalui [34]

Yes, an increase in temperature is accompanied by an increase in pressure. Temperature is the measurement of heat present and more heat means more energy. Molecules in hotter temperatures move faster and more often, eventually moving into the gaseous phase. The molecules would fill the container, and the hotter it got the more they would bounce off the walls, pushing outward, increasing the pressure.
I suppose you could measure this with some kind of loosely inflated balloon and subject it to different temperatures and then somehow measure the size/pressure of it.
