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.

Two parallel conducting plates are separated by 10.0 cm, and one of them is taken to be at zero volts. (a) What is the magnitude
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

E=6.8Kv/m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Distance b/w plate d=10cm=>0.1m

P_1 Potential at 7.35 V=533v

Generally the equation for electric field at a distance is mathematically given as

E=\frac{v}{d}

E=\frac{533}{7.85*10^-^2}

E=6789.808917

E=6.8*10^3

E=6.8Kv/m

The process in which organ systems work to maintain a stable internal environment is called homeostasis. Keeping a stable internal environment requires constant adjustments. Here are just three of the many ways that human organ systems help the body maintain homeostasis:
Respiratory system: A high concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood triggers faster breathing. The lungs exhale more frequently, which removes carbon dioxide from the body more quickly.
Excretory system: A low level of water in the blood triggers retention of water by the kidneys. The kidneys produce more concentrated urine, so less water is lost from the body.
Endocrine system: A high concentration of sugar in the blood triggers secretion of insulin by an endocrine gland called the pancreas. Insulin is a hormone that helps cells absorb sugar from the blood.
