The Mercury's mass for the given acceleration due to gravity is 0.3152 x 10²⁴ kg.

The ratio of the calculated and accepted value of the Mercury's mass is 0.95.

Mass is the amount of matter present in the object.

The mass of the object is always constant, anywhere it is on the Earth or Moon or any other planet.

Given is the acceleration due to gravity of Mercury planet at North pole is g = 3.698 m/s² and the radius of Mercury planet is 2440 km.

The acceleration due to gravity is related with mass as

g = GM/R²

Substitute the values, we have

3.698 = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ x M/(2440 x1000)³

M = 2.2016 x 10¹³ / 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹

M = 0.3152 x 10²⁴ kg

Thus, the mercury's mass is 0.3152 x 10²⁴ kg.

(b) Accepted value of Mercury's mass is 3.301 x 10²³ kg

Ratio of the value of mass calculated and accepted is

Mcalc/M accep = 0.3152 x 10²⁴ kg / 3.301 x 10²³ kg

= 0.95

Thus, the ratio is 0.95

The compound ethylene (C2H4) is represented by this diagram. What statement best describes the arrangement of the atoms in an et

Effectus [21]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is two electrons are shared between each hydrogen atom and the carbon atom bonded to it, and four electrons are shared between the carbon atoms.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Ethylene is a compound given by the chemical formula $H_2C=CH_2$ .

The bond present between hydrogen and carbon atoms or carbon and carbon atoms are covalent bonds. A covalent bond is formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms combining.

A double bond is present between carbon and carbon atoms. So 2 pairs of electrons are shared which means in total of 4 electrons are shared.

Bond present between hydrogen and carbon atoms are single bonds. So, a pair of electrons is shared which means that in total of 2 electrons are shared.

Hence, the correct answer is two electrons are shared between each hydrogen atom and the carbon atom bonded to it, and four electrons are shared between the carbon atoms.

Which equation best expresses the first law of thermodynamics, assuming Q is heat, U is internal energy, and W is work?

devlian [24]

The first law of thermodynamics is expresses by

D. ΔU=Q-W

which means change in internal energy of system = Heat added to system minus work done by the system

All are expressed in Joules.

This law is based on principle of conservation of energy.

. A helicopter is 8.50 m above the ground and climbing at 2.5 m/s. It drops a package from rest (relative to the helicopter). At

Rudik [331]

Answer:

2.5 m/s

Explanation:

The velocity of the package relative to the ground = the velocity of the package relative to the helicopter + the velocity of the helicopter relative to the ground

v = 0 m/s + 2.5 m/s

v = 2.5 m/s

At the moment it is released, the package is rising at 2.5 m/s.
