Region that contains the majority of molecules in the atmosphere

Answer:

Trophosphere

Explanation:

The troposphere is the atmospheric layer closest to the planet and is characterized because contains the largest percentage of the mass of the total atmosphere.

On special characteristic is that in this layer the temperature and water vapor content decrease a lot respect to the altitude. Also on this layer the Water vapor is important in order to regulate the air temperature since on this zone we have absorption of the solar energy.

The troposphere contains almost all the water vapor in the atmosphere. And specially on the tropics we have an accumulation of the water vapour.

All weather phenomena occur within the troposphere. Tropos means "change" and Troposphere means "region of mixing".

Above this layer, we have the tropopause, ranges in height from 5 miles near the poles up to 11 miles above the equator. And the height depends of the seasons, with an special characteristic: the is highest height occurs in the summer and lowest height occurs in the winter.

The troposphere contains almost 75% of the mass of the entire atmosphere. The air on this layer is composed by 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and 1% is made of argon, water vapor, and carbon dioxide.

So for this reason this is the Region that contains the majority of molecules in the atmosphere.

Valentin [98]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

Pressure on the bottom

= hdg

= 2.5 x 820 x 9.8

= 20090 N / m²

b )

force = area x pressure

= 20090 x 10 x 6 N

= 1205400 N

c )

Force on 10m x 2.5 m face

center of gravity of the tank will lie at height 2 .5 / 2 = 1.25 m

Pressure = hdg

= 1.25 x 820 x 9.8

= 10045 N/m²

force = pressure x area

= 10045  x 10 x 2.5

= 251125 N .

Answer:

the correct one is D,  

Ultraviolet, x-ray, gamma ray

Explanation:

Electromagnetism radiation are waves of energy that is expressed by the Planck relationship

          E = h f

where h is the plank constant and f the frequency of the radiation.

Also the speed of light is

          c = λ f

         

we substitute

          E = h c /λ

therefore to damage the cells of the body radiation of appreciable energy is needed

microwave radiation has an energy of 10⁻⁵ eV

infrared radiation                E = 10⁻² eV

visible radiation                   E = 1 to 3 eV

radiation Uv                         E = 3 to 6 eV

X-ray                                    E = 10 eV

 

gamma rays                         E = 10 5 eV

therefore we see that the high energy radiation is gamma rays, x-rays and ultraviolet light.

When checking the answers, the correct one is D
