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.

Answer:

Explanation:

30 N force is pulling total mass of 15 kg , so acceleration in the system of masses

= 30 / 15

= 2 m / s²

Let us now consider forces acting on 9 kg . 30 N is pulling it in forward direction . Tension T in the string attached to it is pulling it in reverse direction

so net force on it

30 - T

Applying Newton's law of motion on it

30 - T = mass x acceleration

30 - T = 9 x 2

30 - 18 = T

T = 12 N

Answer:

$a = -1.6\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

<u>Accelerated Motion</u>

It occurs when an object changes its speed over time. If the changes in speed are uniform, then the acceleration is constant, positive if the speed increases, negative if the speed decreases.

The acceleration is calculated as follows:

$\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}$
