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

Sun. Why

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.

At 10:30 AM, detectives discover a dead body in a room and measure its temperature at 27°C. One hour later, the body's temperatu
wolverine [178]

Answer:

The time of death was approximately 4<em><u> hours</u></em> before 10:30 AM.

Explanation:

Temperature of the body when discovered by detective at 10:30 AM= 27°C

After discovery, Temperature of the body at 11.30 AM= 24.8°C

Change in time = ΔT = 1 hour

Rate of change of body temperature with respect to time :

R=\frac{24.8^oC-27^oC}{1 hour}=-2.2^oC/hour

Normal body temperature = 37°C

Change in time since death = ΔT'

R=\frac{27^oC-37^oC}{\Delta T'}

-2.2^oC/hour=\frac{27^oC-37^oC}{\Delta T'}

\Delta T'=\frac{27^oC-37^oC}{-2.2^oC/Hour}=4.54 hour\approx 4 hours

The time of death was approximately 4<em><u> hours</u></em> before 10:30 AM.

A 10 kg gun recoils with a speed of 0.1 m/s after it fires a 0.001 kg bullet. What is the speed of the bullet?
Kitty [74]

As we know that here gun + bullet system is isolated from all other external force system

so here the momentum of system is always conserved

so we will say

m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}

here we know that

v_{1i} = v_{2i} = 0

m_1 = 10 kg

m_2 = 0.001kg

v_{1f} = 0.1 m/s

now we will have

0 + 0 = 10(0.1) + 0.001v_{2f}

by solving above equation we will have

v_{2f} = 1000 m/s

A 10kg box is sliding at 50m/s. Find the momentum
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

The momentum of the ball is 500 kg·m/s

Explanation:

The momentum is given by Mass × Velocity

The given parameters are;

The mass of the box = 10 kg

The velocity by which the box is sliding = 50 m/s

Therefore, the momentum of the ball is given as follows;

The momentum of the ball = 10 kg × 50 m/s = 500 kg·m/s

The momentum of the ball = 500 kg·m/s
