Region that contains the majority of molecules in the atmosphere

Physics
1 answer:
Anna71 [15]3 years ago
4 0

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.

What kind of circuit is the one shown below?
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

The given circuit diagram shows parallel circuit.

Explanation:

In this circuit diagram two bulbs are connected in parallel combination because current flows from the battery gets bifurcated at the junction. Thus, two bulbs are connected in parallel combination.

This parallel combinations of bulbs then connected to the battery given in the diagram. So, the combinations of bulbs are connected in parallel combinations with the battery.

Hence, both bulbs and battery are connected in parallel combinations with each other.

The circuit diagram shown in figure is parallel.

Wow !  I understand your shock.  I shook and vibrated a little
when I looked at this one too.

The reason for our shock is all the extra junk in the question,
put there just to shock and distract us.

"Neutron star", "5.5 solar masses", "condensed burned-out star".
That's all very picturesque, and it excites cosmic fantasies in
out brains when we read it, but it's just malicious decoration.
It only gets in the way, and doesn't help a bit.

The real question is:

What is the acceleration of gravity 2000 m from
the center of a mass of 1.1 x 10³¹ kg ?

Acceleration of gravity is

                           G  ·  M / R²

      =  (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N·m²/kg²) · (1.1 x 10³¹ kg) / (2000 m)²

      =  (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹  ·  1.1 x 10³¹ / 4 x 10⁶)      (N) · m² · kg / kg² · m²

      =             1.83 x 10¹⁴           (kg · m / s²) · m² · kg / kg² · m²

      =             1.83 x 10¹⁴            m / s²      

That's about  1.87 x 10¹³  times the acceleration of gravity on
Earth's surface.

In other words, if I  were standing on the surface of that neutron star,
I would weigh  1.82 x 10¹² tons, give or take.
