Just like any other gas or mixture of gases, the gas molecules are
zipping around in all different directions and with a whole range of
different speeds.
Those that happen to be moving at a speed greater than the Earth's
"escape velocity", AND are pointed away from Earth, AND don't hit
any other molecules before they escape, are lost.
With the combination of Earth's escape velocity, and the temperatures,
thickness, and density of the atmosphere, that process happens slowly
enough to have maintained an atmosphere around this planet until now.
Personally, I hope it hangs around for a while longer. But with the constant
increase in temperature that's been going on, you never know . . .
Answer:
the wave represents the second harmonic.
Explanation:
Given;
length of the cord, L = 64 cm
The first harmonic of a cord fixed at both ends is given as;

The wavelength of a standing wave with two antinodes is calculated as follows;
L = N---> A -----> N + N ----> A -----> N
Where;
N is node
A is antinode
L = N---> A -----> N + N ----> A -----> N = λ/2 + λ/2
L = λ
The harmonic is calculated as;

Therefore, the wave represents the second harmonic.
L = λ
Answer:
Land heats faster
Explanation:
Land heats faster because absorbs much more solar radiation.
Answer:
The resultant velocity is <u>169.71 km/h at angle of 45° measured clockwise with the x-axis</u> or the east-west line.
Explanation:
Considering west direction along negative x-axis and north direction along positive y-axis
Given:
The car travels at a speed of 120 km/h in the west direction.
The car then travels at the same speed in the north direction.
Now, considering the given directions, the velocities are given as:
Velocity in west direction is, 
Velocity in north direction is, 
Now, since
are perpendicular to each other, their resultant magnitude is given as:

Plug in the given values and solve for the magnitude of the resultant.This gives,

Let the angle made by the resultant be 'x' degree with the east-west line or the x-axis.
So, the direction is given as:

Therefore, the resultant velocity is 169.71 km/h at angle of 45° measured clockwise with the x-axis or the east-west line.
