Incomplete question.The complete one is here

Spacecraft have been sent to Mars in recent years. Mars is smaller than Earth and has correspondingly weaker surface gravity. On Mars, the free-fall acceleration is only 3.8m/s2. What is the orbital period of a spacecraft in a low orbit near the surface of Mars?

Answer:

T=5900s=99min

Explanation:

Given

r_{satelite}=r_{mars}=3.37*10^{6}m\\ g_{mars}=3.8m/s^{2}\\

To find

orbital period of a spacecraft T

Solution

An the initial calculating is computing the angular velocity of satellite :

w=\frac{2\pi }{T}\\ w=\frac{2\pi }{110min}(1min/60s)\\ w=9.52*10^{-4}rad/s

Computing T

T=\frac{2\pi }{w}\\ as\\w=\sqrt{\frac{a}{r} }\\ So\\T=\frac{2\pi }{\sqrt{\frac{a}{r} }} \\T=\frac{2\pi }{\sqrt{\frac{3.8m/s^{2} }{3.37*10^{6} m} }}\\T=5900s=99min

Which of the following models shows how unpredictable electrons are?
Fantom [35]

D

The exact location of electrons in electron shells of atoms cannot be exactly ascertained. This is why VSPER atomic models represent the position of electrons (s, p, d, & f) using the probability of where they would most be expected to be found.

Explanation:

This is because merely observing electrons changes their behavior. Remember that to observe something one has to shine light on it so it bounces back to the eye. Due to the negligible mass of electrons, mere photons of light will change their direction of movement, spin or other behaviors/properties.

Describe the full water cycle
sergey [27]

The water cycle (hydro-logic cycle), explains the constant motion of water on, above and below the surface of the Earth. The mass of water on Earth stays equally constant over time, although the severe portion of the water goes into the major reservoirs of ice, fresh water, saline water and atmospheric water is variable depending on a wide range of climatic variables. The water moves from one reservoir to another, such as from river to ocean, or from the ocean to the atmosphere, by the physical processes of evaporation, condensation, precipitation, infiltration, surface runoff, and subsurface flow. In doing so, the water goes through different forms: liquid, solid (ice) and vapor.

What steps are involved in creating hydroelectric power?
Mama L [17]

Answer:

Water falls from a reservoir through a channel to a turbine. The water turns the turbines, which allows the generator to make electricity.

It is falling instead of flowing, because elavation is an important part of the hydroeletric power plant, since gravity is a thing, and there was elevation, than it would be falling and not flowing.
