Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

The runway refrigerator effect and the role it would have played in the evolution of Mars can be summarized as follows

The weak gravity of Mars does not allow it have a gaseous atmosphere over it. The thin atmosphere would have lead to lower temperature on mars.In in turn would have lead to freezing of gases thus lowering the temperature further. The thinner atmosphere and colder temperature would lead to loss of most water in the planet.

Why do electrons transfer charge and not protons?

mel-nik [20]

<h2>Answer:Protons interact in ways that electrons do not. ... Electrons are not affected by the strong force, and so they only get trapped by the electrical attraction to the nucleus which is much weaker in ionized atoms.</h2><h2 /><h2>Explanation:Therefore it is easier for electrons to move away from one atom to another, transferring charge.</h2>

Use the work—energy theorem to solve each of these problems. You can use Newton's laws to check your answers. Neglect air resist

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

a) It is moving at $43.15\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ when reaches the ground.

b) It is moving at $101.44\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ when reaches the ground.

Explanation:

Work energy theorem states that the total work on a body is equal its change in kinetic energy, this is:

$W=K_f-K_i$ (1)

with W the total work, Ki the initial kinetic energy and Kf the final kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is defined as:

$K=\frac{mv^2}{2}$ (2)

with m the mass and v the velocity.

Using (2) on (1):

$W=\frac{mv_f^2}{2}-\frac{mv_i^2}{2}$ (3)

In both cases the total work while the objects are in the air is the work gravity field does on them. Work is force times the displacement, so in our case is weight (w=mg) of the object times displacement (d):

$W=Fd=wd=mgd$ (4)

Using (4) on (3):

$mgd=\frac{mv_f^2}{2}-\frac{mv_i^2}{2}$ (5)

That's the equation we're going to use on a) and b).

a) Because the branch started form rest initial velocity (vi) is equal zero, using this and solving (5) for final velocity:

$v_f=\sqrt{\frac{2mgd}{m}}=\sqrt{2gd}=\sqrt{2*9.8*95}$

$v_f=43.15\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

b) In this case the final velocity of the boulder is instantly zero when it reaches its maximum height, another important thing to note is that in this case work is negative because weight is opposing boulder movement, so we should use -mgd:

$-mgd=-\frac{mv_i^2}{2}$

Solving for initial velocity (when the boulder left the volcano):

$v_i=\sqrt{\frac{2mgd}{m}}=\sqrt{2gd}=\sqrt{2*9.8*525}$

$v_i=101.44 \frac{m}{s^{2}}$

What are possible units for impulse? Check all that apply.

Neporo4naja [7]

Units of impulse: N • s, kg • meters per second

Explanation:

Impulse is defined in two ways:

Impulse is defined as the product between the force exerted in a collision and the duration of the collision:

$I=F\Delta t$
