Why do the lighter isotopes disappear first from the atmosphere? Where do those isotopes go?

Physics

denpristay [2]1 year ago

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.

Calculate the total energy of 4.0 kg object moving horizontally at 20 m/s 50 meters above the surface.
Serhud [2]

Answer:

Correct answer:  E total = 2,800 J

Explanation:

Given:

m = 4 kg   the mass of the object

V = 20 m/s  the speed (velocity) of the object

H = 50 m the height of the object above the surface

E total = ? J

The total energy of an object is equal to the sum of potential and kinetic energy

E total = Ep + Ek

Ep = m g H   we take g = 10 m/s²

Ep = 4 · 10 · 50 = 2,000 J

Ek = m V² / 2

Ek = 4 · 20² / 2 = 2 · 400 = 800 J

E total = 2,000 + 800 = 2,800 J

E total = 2,800 J

Why can work be thought of as the transfer of energy? Please help it's physics
deff fn [24]
That is because work requires energy. According to the law of conservation of energy, it cannot be created or destroyed. When doing work, energy change forms and gets transferred to the object until it is released.
for example, when you lift up an object and place it on a higher elevation, you transferred energy to it and gave it potential energy. The potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy when the object falls down, and if it hits a surface, the energy will scatter, vibrating the areas around it and producing sound.
Also, work= force X distance. The energy does not go away, but rather get changed into some other form of energy

The resistance of the body varies from approximately 500 kΩ (when it is very dry) to about 1.20 kΩ (when it is wet). The maximum
scoray [572]

Answer:

a) The maximum potential difference the wet human body can take = 5.88 V

b) This value is very much lower than the normal voltage of household outlets (120 V) and isn't in the same range at all.

This means one should be very careful operating electrical appliances (even at home) while the body is wet.

Explanation:

From Ohm's law, V = IR

The resistance of the body when the body is wet = 1.2 kΩ = 1200 Ω

Maximum safe current that the body can withstand = 4.90 mA = 0.0049 A

Maximum voltage the body can withstand while wet = (Maximum safe current that the body can withstand) × (Resistance of the body when the body is wet) = 0.0049 × 1200 = 5.88 V

b) This value is still very much lower than the normal voltage of household outlets (120 V) and isn't in the same range at all.

This means one should be very careful operating electrical appliances (even at home) while the body is wet.
