2. A wave on a rope has a wavelength of 2.0 m and a frequency of 2.0 Hz. What is the speed of the
TEA [102]

Answer:

4 m/s or 4 meters per second.

Explanation:

In order to calculate the speed of wave, you multiply the wavelength in meters and the frequency of the Wave in Hertz. 2 times 2 equals 4. The wave speed is always in m/s considering that the wavelength is also in meters.

Why do the lighter isotopes disappear first from the atmosphere? Where do those isotopes go?
denpristay [2]

Lighter molecules move fast and escape from the upper atmosphere relatively quickly.

To find the answer, we have to know more about the lighter isotopes.

<h3>What are lighter isotopes?</h3>
  • Lighter molecules are mobile and soon leave the higher atmosphere.
  • A particular element's stable isotopes have slightly different atomic masses and quantum mechanical energies.
  • The lighter isotope of an element's chemical bonds are more easily broken than the heavier isotope's.
  • As a result, the light isotope typically benefits from chemical reactions.

Thus, we can conclude that, lighter molecules move fast and escape from the upper atmosphere relatively quickly.

Find the following answer based on the image.
saul85 [17]

<u>We are given:</u>

Mass of Neptune = 1.03 * 10²⁶ kg

Distance from the center of Neptune (r) = 2.27 * 10⁷

now, computing the value of the acceleration due to gravity (g)

<u>Finding g:</u>

We know the formula:

g = G(mass of planet) / (r)²

g = [6.67 * 10⁻¹¹ * 1.03*10²⁶] / (2.27*10⁷)                      [since G is 6.67*10⁻¹¹]

g = (6.87 * 10¹⁵) / (5.15 * 10¹⁴)

which can be rewritten as:

g = (6.87 * 10¹⁵ * 10⁻¹⁴) / 5.15

g = (6.87 * 10¹⁵⁻¹⁴) / 5.15

g = (6.87/5.15) * 10

g = 1.34 * 10

g = 13.4 m/s² <em>(approx)</em>

The object is called a meteor because it is producing Streak of light  and has not yet struck earth.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

A meteoroid is a celestial object which is very smaller than an asteroid. These objects are produced as a collision impact from mars or moon and float freely in space without any specific orbit. When they come inside the Earth's gravitational field, they are attracted by the Earth's gravity to Earth's crust. These objects in Earth's atmosphere are called meteors. As they travel through Earth's atmosphere, they do face a huge friction from Earth's atmosphere which let them burn and that is visible as the tail of the meteor.

Most of them are so small that they are burnt away in the atmosphere. But some are bigger and they reach the Earth's surface and are called as meteorites.
