How does Mercury's close proximity to the sun and thin atmosphere affect its ability to maintain liquid water

Physics

5 0

Answer

A thin atmosphere does not supply much oxygen, and the heat from the sun would evaporate it, because mercury is close to the sun.

A mass is attached to a vertical spring, which then goes into oscillation. At the high point of the oscillation, the spring is i
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

0.34 sec

Explanation:

Low point of spring ( length of stretched spring ) = 5.8 cm

midpoint of spring = 5.8 / 2 = 2.9 cm

Determine the oscillation period

at equilibrum condition

Kx = Mg

g= 9.8 m/s^2

x = 2.9 * 10^-2 m

k / m = 9.8 / ( 2.9 * 10^-2 ) =  337.93

note : w = \sqrt{k/m}   = \sqrt{337.93} = 18.38 rad/sec

Period of oscillation =  2\pi  / w

                                  = 0.34 sec

A balloon filled with helium occupies 20.0 l at 1.50 atm and 25.0◦
bija089 [108]
At stp (standard temperature and pressure), the temperature is T=0 C=273 K and the pressure is p=1.00 atm. So we can use the ideal gas law to find the number of moles of helium:
pV=nRT
where p is the pressure (1.00 atm), V the volume (20.0 L), n the number of moles, T the temperature (273 K) and R=0.082 atm L K^{-1} mol^{-1} the gas constant. Using the numbers and re-arranging the formula, we can calculate n:
n= \frac{pV}{RT}= \frac{(1.00atm)(20.0L)}{(0.082 LatmK^{-1}mol^{-1})(273 K)}=0.89 mol

Which wave must have a medium to travel?
o-na [289]

Letter B

without a medium, there is nothing to compress, hence, no wave. A fast- medium like a gas (air) is easy to compress and allows waves to move through it easily. a slow medium, like a liquid, is still pretty fast, but not as fast as air.
