The Faint Young Sun Paradox points out the following discrepancy: even though the Early Sun put out significantly less energy/ra

diation than it does today, the Early Earth was warm enough to support liquid water. What is the most common explanation to resolve this paradox?

Answer:

Enhanced Green house effect

Explanation:

The paradox describes the  inconsistency between the faint young Sun and the temperate climate  on the early Earth. Despite low radiation by the sun of the early year, the Earth still maintained a temperate climate.

This paradox can be resolved by instigating changes in the atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases   like  ammonia (NH3), CH4, or CO2. This is referred to as enhanced green house effect.

Assume that a satellite orbits mars 150km above its surface. Given that the mass of mars is 6.485 X 10^23kg, and the radius of m
Kisachek [45]
<span>3598 seconds The orbital period of a satellite is u=GM p = sqrt((4*pi/u)*a^3) Where p = period u = standard gravitational parameter which is GM (gravitational constant multiplied by planet mass). This is a much better figure to use than GM because we know u to a higher level of precision than we know either G or M. After all, we can calculate it from observations of satellites. To illustrate the difference, we know GM for Mars to within 7 significant figures. However, we only know G to within 4 digits. a = semi-major axis of orbit. Since we haven't been given u, but instead have been given the much more inferior value of M, let's calculate u from the gravitational constant and M. So u = 6.674x10^-11 m^3/(kg s^2) * 6.485x10^23 kg = 4.3281x10^13 m^3/s^2 The semi-major axis of the orbit is the altitude of the satellite plus the radius of the planet. So 150000 m + 3.396x10^6 m = 3.546x10^6 m Substitute the known values into the equation for the period. So p = sqrt((4 * pi / u) * a^3) p = sqrt((4 * 3.14159 / 4.3281x10^13 m^3/s^2) * (3.546x10^6 m)^3) p = sqrt((12.56636 / 4.3281x10^13 m^3/s^2) * 4.458782x10^19 m^3) p = sqrt(2.9034357x10^-13 s^2/m^3 * 4.458782x10^19 m^3) p = sqrt(1.2945785x10^7 s^2) p = 3598.025212 s Rounding to 4 significant figures, gives us 3598 seconds.</span>

What condition is most necessary to build a glacier?
OLga [1]
The most necessary condition to build a glacier is: <span>More snow must fall in the winter than melts in the summer.
</span><span>when More snow fall in the winter than it melts in the summer, the snow will start to accumulate on the top of the higher terrain. This accumulation will form an abundant amount of snow on higher terrain, which will fall as glacier as soon as its temperature drop.</span>

Two balls are thrown from a cliff. One is thrown directly up, the other directly down. Both balls have the same initial speed, a
Otrada [13]

Answer:

both the same

Explanation:

When a ball is thrown vertically upwards, it experiences that same acceleration due to gravity as an object thrown directly downwards.

This means that if we ignore the effects of air resistance, and the two balls have the same initial speed, they are expected both expected to hit the ground at the same speed as a result of the principle of conservation of energy.
