Answer:

(a) 0.72

(b) 3.83 m/s^2

(c)  5.1 Km/s

Explanation:

diameter of Mars = 6.9 x 10^3 km

Radius of Mars, Rm = 3.45 x 10^3 km = 3.45 x 10^6 m

diameter of earth = 1.3 x 10^4 km

radius of earth, Re = 6.5 x 10^3 km = 6.5 x 10^6 m

Let Me be the mass of earth.

Mass of Mars, Mm = 0.11 Me

(a) Volume of Mars, Vm = 4/3 x 3.14 x (3.45 x 10^6)³ = 1.72 x 10^20 m³

Volume of earth, Ve =  4/3 x 3.14 x (6.5 x 10^6)³ = 1.15 x 10^21 m³

density is the ratio of mass to the volume of the object.

\frac{d_{m}}{d_{e}}=\frac{M_{m}}{M_{e}}\times \frac{V_{e}}{V_{m}}

\frac{d_{m}}{d_{e}}=\frac{0.11M_{e}}{M_{e}}\times \frac{1.15\times10^{21}}{1.72\times10^{20}}

density of mars : density of earth = 0.72

(b) The value of acceleration due to gravity

g=\frac{GM}{R^{2}}

Let gm be the acceleration due to gravity on Mars

\frac{g_{m}}{g_{e}}=\frac{M_{m}}{M_{e}}\times \frac{R_{e}^{2}}{R_{m}^{2}}

\frac{g_{m}}{g_{e}}=\frac{0.11M_{e}}{M_{e}}\times \frac{6.5\times6.5}{3.45\times3.45}

gm = 3.83 m/s^2

(c) The escape velocity is given by

v=\sqrt{2gR}

\frac{v_{m}}{v_{e}}=\sqrt{\frac{g_{m}\times R_{m}}{g_{e}\times R_{e}}}

\frac{v_{m}}{v_{e}}=\sqrt{\frac{3.83\times 3.45}{9.8\times 6.5}}

Answer:

(a) Ratio of mean density is 0.735

(b) Value of g on mars 0.920 m,/sec^2

(c) Escape velocity on earth is 3.563\times 10^4m/sec

Explanation:

We have given radius of mars R_{mars}=6.9\times 10^3km=6.9\times 10^6m and radius of earth R_{E}=1.3\times 10^4km=1.3\times 10^7m

Mass of earth M_E=5.972\times 10^{24}kg

So mass of mars M_m=5.972\times\times 0.11 \times 10^{24}=0.657\times 10^{24}kg

Volume of mars V=\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3=\frac{4}{3}\times 3.14\times (6.9\times 10^6)^3=1375.357\times 10^{18}m^3

So density of mars d_{mars}=\frac{mass}{volume}=\frac{0.657\times 10^{24}}{1375.357\times 10^{18}}=477.69kg/m^3

Volume of earth  V=\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3=\frac{4}{3}\times 3.14\times (1.3\times 10^7)^3=9.198\times 10^{21}m^3

So density of earth d_{E}=\frac{mass}{volume}=\frac{5.972\times 10^{24}}{9.198\times 10^{21}}=649.271kg/m^3

(A) So the ratio of mean density \frac{d_{mars}}{d_E}=\frac{477.69}{649.27}=0.735

(B) Value of g on mars

g is given by g=\frac{GM}{R^2}=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times0.657\times 10^{24}}{(6.9\times 10^6)^2}=0.920m/sec^2

(c) Escape velocity is given by

v=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 0.657\times 10^{24}}{6.9\times 10^6}}=3.563\times 10^4m/sec

The temperature of a 700.96 gram piece of metal falls 120⁰C and in the process releases 2001 Joules of energy. What is the speci
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

The specific heat for the metal is 0.466 J/g°C.

Explanation:

Given,

Q = 1120 Joules

mass = 12 grams

T₁ = 100°C

T₂ = 300°C

The specific heat for the metal can be calculated by using the formula

Q = (mass) (ΔT) (Cp)

ΔT = T₂ - T₁ = 300°C  - 100°C   = 200°C

Substituting values,

1120 = (12)(200)(Cp)

Cp = 0.466 J/g°C.

Therefore, specific heat of the metal is 0.466 J/g°C.

Can molecules with double or triple bonds twist
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

The only way a twist may be done is if the trans form of an alkene/alkyne is twisted into the cis form--only if/when the pi bond is brokwn.

Compare and contrast the two different types of mechanical waves?
prohojiy [21]
There are longitudinal and transverse.  Both types of mechanical waves require a medium, transport energy, and have defined wavelengths, frequencies, and speeds.
Differences are that transverse waves oscillate along a direction perpendicular to the direction of travel (like shaking a rope up and down).  Longitudinal waves like oscillations along a spring and sound waves, oscillate back and forth along the direction of travel.
