Why are the lunar mountains smoothly rounded rather than having sharp, pointed peaks (as they were almost always depicted in sci

ence-fiction illustrations and films before the first lunar landings)?

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Lunar mountains are smoothly rounded rather than having sharp, pointed peaks because the lunar moons are formed because of the impact of asteroids and comets on its surface whereas the Earth mountains are formed because of the surface activity of volcanos, collision of land masses and activity of plate tectonics that is why they have sharp and pointed tops.

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

The maximum height that the fish can jump is 2.19 m.

Explanation:

Hi there!

Please, see the attached figure for a better understanding of the problem.

The motion of the salmon is a parabolic one because when it jumps, it already has a horizontal velocity (see figure).

The position and velocity vectors of the salmon at a time t, can be calculated as follows:

r = (x0 + v0x · t, y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²)

v = (v0x, v0y + g · t)

Where:

r = position of the salmon at time t.

x0 = initial horizotal position.

v0x = initial horizontal velocity.

t = time.

y0 = initial vertical position.

v0y = initial vertical velocity.

g = acceleration of gravity.

Looking at the figure, notice that at the maximum height, the vertical velocity is zero (because the velocity vector is horizontal). Using the equation of the vertical component of the velocity, we can obtain the time at which the salmon is at its maximum height:

vy = v0y + g · t

To find the initial vertical velocity, v0y, let´s look at the figure. Notice that the initial velocity is the hypotenuse of the triangle formed with the horizontal velocity and the vertical velocity. Then:

v0² = v0x² + v0y²

Solving for v0y:

v0y = √(v0² - v0x²)

v0y = √((6.75 m/s)² - (1.65 m/s)²)

v0y = 6.55 m/s

Now, using the equation of the vertical component of the velocity at the maximum height (vy = 0):

vy = v0y + g · t

0 = 6.55 m/s + (-9.8 m/s²) · t

-6.55 m/s / -9.8 m/s² = t

t = 0.67 s

Now, using the equation of the vertical position at t = 0.67 s, we can find the maximum height:

y = y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²

y = 0 m + 6.55 m/s · 0.67 s + 1/2 · (-9.8 m/s²) · (0.67 s)²

y = 2.19 m

The maximum height that the fish can jump is 2.19 m.

What is the mission of the mars Land Rover, and why is it important?
GaryK [48]
Primarily to survey and map the landscape of Mars for future missions. It also takes core samples and searches for water underground. This is important for many reasons, but most obviously for the upcoming missions to mars and the colonies that follow. Hope this helps?

Assume that the force of a bow on an arrow behaves like the spring force. In aiming the arrow, an archer pulls the drawstring ba
Alex

Answer:

 v=39.05 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

x= 56 cm

F= 158 N

m= 58 g = 0.058 kg

Lets take spring constant = k

At the initial position,before releasing the arrow

F= k x

By putting the values

F= k x

158= 0.56 k

k=282.14 N/m

Now from energy conservation

Lets take final speed of the arrow after releasing

\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

k x²=mv²

282.14 x 0.56² = 0.058 v²

v=39.05 m/s
