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

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 . . .

Sam is recklessly driving 60 mph in a 30 mph speed zone when he suddenly sees the police. he steps on the brakes and slows to 30
barxatty [35]
For this problem, we use the derived equations for rectilinear motion at constant acceleration. The equations used for this problem are:

a = (v - v₀)/t
2ax = v² - v₀²
where
a is the acceleration
x is the distance
v is the final velocity
v₀ is the initial velocity
t is the time

The solution is as follows;

a = (60mph - 30 mph)/(3 s * 1 h/3600 s)
a = 36,000 mph²

2(36,000 mph²)(x) = 60² - 30²
Solving for x,
x = 0.0375 miles

What is an example of a negative incentive for producers
Hatshy [7]

An example of a negative incentive for producers is the sharp increase in production costs. Producers are the one who manage the production costs and even the production budget. Anything that relates the production department is entitled to the management of production producers.

There is what we called positive and negative incentives and both of these can affect consumers and producers. Positive incentives are those situations which will give a certain outcome that will benefit the producers, for example, during the peak season there will be a high demand of products, and this gives the chance of producers to demand a higher price from the consumers, in this situation, there will be a big chance of increase sales.  A sharp increase in production costs is a loss for the producers.  If there will be an increase in production costs, the budget will be greatly affective and even though it is not a peak season, there’s a big chance also to increase prices which we know, consumers are not fond of.

This is an example of which scientific practice?
pshichka [43]

The example of the scientific practice is missing here but it should always involve the application of the scientific method.

<h3>What is the scientific method?</h3>

The scientific method is a series of steps by which researchers can collect empirical evidence that enables them to test hypotheses and generate scientific theories.

The scientific method starts with the observation of a given phenomenon from the real world, which then enables the raising of a question that in turn enables the formulation of a plausible explanation called hypothesis.

In conclusion, the example of the scientific practice is missing here but it should always involve the application of the scientific method.
