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:
Explanation:
Terry can ride at a speed of
V = 30 miles in 2hours
Speed = distance / time
V = 30 /2
V = 15 mile/hour
So, we want to know the distance traveled in 1.7hours
Then,
Speed = distane / time
Distance = speed × time
Distance =15 × 1.7
Distance = 25.5 miles
So, the distance traveled in 1.7hours is 25.5 miles
You can use map and notice one thinh. If you flipp over the edges of continents and put them together, you will get a big single continent that is called pangaea. Practically it's impossible but it could be imagined.
The equation of the graph is
Force = (mass) x (acceleration) .
The graph is a straight line that passes through the origin,
and its slope is the mass of the object being studied.
