Mars has a very thin atmosphere, and yet its surface temperatures are higher than would be expected, given its distance from the

Sun. Why
Physics
1 answer:

True

Mars' atmosphere is over 100 times thinner than Earth's and is primarily composed of carbon dioxide, nitrogen and argon gases. Oxygized dust particles kicked up from the Martian surface fill the atmosphere turning Mars' skies a rusty tan color, according to NASA(opens in new tab).

Water exists on Mars but the atmosphere is too thin for it to last long on the surface in a liquid state. Instead, water on Mars is found below the surface of the polar regions as water-ice and also as seasonal briny water flows down hillsides and crater walls.

Despite Mars' thin atmosphere, the Red Planet still exhibits a dynamic climate and extreme weather events including impressive dust storms and even snow! But Mars hasn't always been this way. NASA's MAVEN mission scientists reported that Mars once had a thick atmosphere(opens in new tab) that could have supported surface liquid water on the surface for extended periods of time.

What is mars?

Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and the second-smallest planet in the Solar System, being larger than only Mercury. In the English language, Mars is named for the Roman god of war. Mars is a terrestrial planet with a thin atmosphere, and has a crust primarily composed of elements similar to Earth's crust, as well as a core made of iron and nickel. Mars has surface features such as impact craters, valleys, dunes, and polar ice caps. It has two small and irregularly shaped moons: Phobos and Deimos.

The rubber and plastic used in protective clothing do not allow the flow of electric charge
erica [24]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Insulators are the material that does not allow electricity to pass easily through them. The reason behind using an insulator as a protective layer on an electrical wire or appliances is that they show good resistance to electricity. That prevents us from getting an electrical shock. And rubber and plastics are good examples of the insulator.

Hence our statement is true.

You are standing 30 m from a window that is 30 m off the ground. Your friend tries to toss you something, but only throws it str
pochemuha

Answer:

minimum initial velocity is 21.35 m/s

Explanation:

given data

distance S = 30 m

height h = 30 m

maximum acceleration a = 2 m/s²

to find out

minimum initial velocity that your friend could have thrown the object to enable you to catch

solution

first we get here time with the help of second equation of motion

time = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{a} }  ..................1

put her value we get

time = \sqrt{\frac{2*30}{2} }

time = 5.477 second

and that is time which tossed object must be take so we apply here again second equation of motion that is

-S = ut - 0.5 × gt²   .......................2

-30 = u× 5.477 - 0.5 ×9.8×5.477²

solve it we get

u = 21.35 m/s

so minimum initial velocity is 21.35 m/s

a 2kg mass is held 4m above the ground. what is the approximate potential energy of the mass with respect to the ground?
aleksley [76]

The potential energy of the object is 78.4 J

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy (GPE) of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its position in a gravitational field.

For an object near the Earth's surface, the GPE is given by:

GPE=mgh

where

m is the mass of the object

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity near the Earth's surface

h is the height of the object relative to the surface

For the object in this problem,

m = 2 kg

h = 4 m

Substituting, we find its GPE:

GPE=(2)(9.8)(4)=78.4 J
