Mars, which has a radius of 3.4 × 106 m and a mass of 6.4 × 1023 kg, orbits the Sun, which has a mass of 2.0 × 1030 kg at a dist

ance of 2.3 × 1011 m. Which is greater, the tangential speed of Mars’s rotation or revolution?

The correct answer is: Revolution (The tangential speed of Mars' revolution is greater than that of Mars' rotation).

Explanation:

Given data:

Radius-of-Mars = r =  3.4 * 10^6 m

Distance-between-Sun-and-Mars = d = 2.3 * 10^{11} m


Now let us first calculate the Mars' rotation:

One complete rotation of Mars = 2πr = 2π(3.4*10^6) = 21.36 * 10^6 m

Tangential speed of Mars' rotation (by taking 24hours 37 minutes in seconds (88620s)—as Mars takes that many seconds to complete one rotation) = \frac{21.36 * 10^6m}{88620} = 241.02 \frac{m}{s}


Now let's calculate the Mars' revolution (around Sun):

One complete revolution of Mars around Sun = 2πd = 2π(2.3 * 10^{11}) = 1.45 * 10^{12} m

Tangential speed of Mars' revolution (by taking 687 days in seconds (59356800s)—since Mars takes 687days to complete one revolution)= \frac{1.45 * 10^{12}m}{59356800s} = 24.42 * 10^{3}\frac{m}{s}


So we can see that the tagential speed of:

Revolution > Rotation

24.42 * 10^{3}\frac{m}{s} > 241.02\frac{m}{s}


Hence, the correct answer is Revolution.

What happens to the electrostatic force between two charged particles if the distance between them is doubled?
Stells [14]

According to Coulomb's Law , The size of the force varies inversely as the square of the distance between the two charges. So ,if the distance between the two charges is doubled, the  electrostatic force will become weak by one fourth of the original force.

Why are viruses hard to fight
ki77a [65]

Answer:Compared to other pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses are minuscule. And because they have none of the hallmarks of living things — a metabolism or the ability to reproduce on their own, for example — they are harder to target with drugs.

If an object is to rest on an incline without slipping, then friction must equal the component of the weight of the object paral
leonid [27]

Answer:

\theta = tan^{-1}\mu

Explanation:

As we know that if the object is placed on the inclined plane then the force of friction on the object is counterbalanced by the component of the weight of the object along the inclined plane.

So we can say

F_f = mgsin\theta

now if we increase the inclination of the plane then the component of the weight weight along the inclined plane will increase and hence the friction force will also increase.

As we know that the limiting value or the maximum value of friction force at the static condition is given by

F_f = \mu N

N = mg cos\theta

so we have

F_f = \mu (mg cos\theta)

so we will have

mg sin\theta = \mu (mg cos\theta)

so now we have

tan\theta = \mu

so maximum possible angle of the inclined plane is

\theta = tan^{-1}\mu
