Answer:

1.156\times 10^{24}\ kg

Explanation:

Given:

Gravity of Mars = 0.38 times the gravity at Earth

Gravity of Earth is, g_{Earth}=9.8\ m/s^2

Radius of Mars (R) = 3400 km

Mass of mars (M) = ?

We know that, the acceleration due to gravity  of a planet of mass 'M' and radius 'R' is given as:

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

Now, as per question:

g_{Mars}=0.68g_{Earth}

Plug in 9.8 for g_{Earth} and solve for g_{Mars}. This gives,

g_{Mars}=0.68\times 9.8=6.67\ m/s^2

Now, plug in this value in the above equation and solve for 'M'. This gives,

6.67=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}M}{(3400\times 10^3)^2}\\\\1.156\times 10^{13}=10^{-11}M\\\\M=\frac{1.156\times 10^{13}}{10^{-11}}\\\\M=1.156\times 10^{24}\ kg

Therefore, the mass of Mars is 1.156\times 10^{24}\ kg.

The resolution<span> of a </span>microscope is the smallest resolvable distance between two objects. It is <span>defined as the shortest distance between two points on a specimen and the observer can still distinguish them.
</span>The wavelength is a determining and limiting factor in the degree of resolution afforded by the microscope. The relationship between the wavelength and the resolution is:
<span>Shorter wavelengths yield higher resolution </span>and visa versa.

What is electricity?
quester [9]

Answer:Electricity is the flow of electrons. All matter is made up of atoms, and an atom has a center, called a nucleus. When electrons are "lost" from an atom, the free movement of these electrons constitutes an electric current. Electricity is a basic part of nature and it is one of our most widely used forms of energy.

The vertical component of the projectile motion of an object depends on which of these? initial velocity or angel of trajectory
SVEN [57.7K]
It depends on both of them.

In fact, the projectile begins its motion with an initial velocity of v_0 and an angle of \alpha. On the y-axis (vertical direction), it is an accelerated motion with acceleration equal to -g (gravitational acceleration). The vertical velocity of the projectile at any time t is given by
v_y (t) = v_0 sin \alpha + gt
and as it can be seen, this depends on both initial velocity and angle.
