Answer:

Less

Explanation:

The thermosphere is located above the mesosphere. The atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing altitude.

The atmospheric pressure is caused by the weight of the air above us. The thermosphere has lesser pressure because the air density is low here and the layers above it has lesser mass. Since they no not weigh much their weight cannot create greater pressure.

The relationship between pressure and altitude is

$P_{h}=P_{o} e^{\frac{-mgh}{kT}}$

Where

$P_{o}$ is the pressure at sea level.

m is the molar mass of air

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the altitude

k is the Boltzmann's constant

T is the temperature

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. The thermosphere has less air pressure than the mesosphere because the farther away you are from the surface of the earth the lesser amount of gases present.

Answer:

Here ball and rod will repel each other as they are of similar charges

Explanation:

As we know that the two charges attract or repel each other by electrostatic force

This force is given as

$F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}$

so we know if two charges are similar in nature then they will repel each other and if the two charges are opposite in nature then they will attract each other

So here when rod touch the ball then it transfer its charge to the ball and due to similar charges in ball and rod they both repel each other

Which of the following is a false statement about dispersion forces? View Available Hint(s) Which of the following is a false st

icang [17]

Explanation :

Dispersion forces are also known as London dispersion forces. It is the weakest force. Also, it is the part of the Van der Waals forces.

(1) This force is exhibited by all atoms and molecules.

(2) These forces are the result of the fluctuations in the electron distribution within molecules or atoms. Due to these fluctuations, the electric field is created. The magnitude of this force is explained in terms of Hamaker constant 'A'.

(3) Dispersion forces result from the formation of instantaneous dipoles in a molecule or atom. When electrons are more concentrated in a place, instantaneous dipoles formed.

(4) Dispersion force magnitude depends on the amount of surface area available for interactions. If the area increases, the size of the atom also increase. As a result, stronger dispersion forces.

So, the false statement is "Dispersion forces always have a greater magnitude in molecules with a greater molar mass".

What nonliving materials are important to living things?

Pavel [41]

Nonliving things also have unlimited duration of existence. While living things die and decompose, nonliving things such as rocks, mountains, air and water have existed for millions of years. They may grow, but they do so only by accretion, which is the process of growth by accumulating added layers of matter.

The continuous submarine mountain range which winds through all the oceans is called the mid-ocean

Artist 52 [7]

The continuous submarine mountain range which winds through all the oceans is called the mid-ocean ridge.
It is a form of a mountain which is found underwater, and it appeared there due to the movements of tectonic plates. It is responsible for the creation of new seafloor, meaning that the ground underwater changes constantly with the formation of these ridges.
