The atmosphere of earth does not escape into the space but remains attached to earth's surface why??

Physics
1 answer:
Alexeev081 [22]3 years ago
7 0

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 . . .

W = F * s
Here, F = 50 N
s = 15 m

Substitute their values, 
W = 50 * 15
W = 750 J

In short, Your Answer would be 750 Joules

Hope this helps!

What happens to light waves from a star as the star moves toward Earth?
Musya8 [376]
This shifts the star’s spectral lines toward the blue end of the spectrum. If the star is moving away from us, it’s waves are effectively stretched out when they reach earth, increasing their wavelength. This shifts the star’s spectral lines toward the red end of the spectrum.

Which is normally greater, the energy in ordinary sound or the energy in ordinary light? how does the speed of sound compare to
Thepotemich [5.8K]

The energy in ordinary light is greater than the energy in ordinary sound

Energy is the ability to perform work in physics. It could exist in several different forms, such as potential, kinetic, thermal, electrical, chemical, radioactive, etc. Additionally, there is heat and work, which is energy being transferred from one body to another.

Energy is a physical system's ability to perform labor. The capital letter E is a typical sign for energy. The joule, denoted by the letter J, is the common unit. The energy produced by one newton's (1 N) worth of force acting over one meter's (1 m) worth of displacement is measured in joules (1 J). Because it is a fundamental human requirement, energy plays a significant role in our daily lives.
