Answer:

The reason is mainly because Earth has an atmosphere.

Explanation:

We don't see as many craters in our planet as most of them have been eroded away by wind, water, volcanic activity or any other forces. Earth is also surrounded by an atmosphere which other planets like Mars, Mercury and the Moon lacks. The atmosphere reduces the impact of meteoroids when they hit the surface of a planet as the atmosphere disintegrates them into smaller particles. Also, the atmosphere creates a planet's own weather condition, no atmosphere means no weather. So, planets like Mars, Mercury where there is no atmosphere, there is no weather to erode away the craters. Hence, most of them are still visible on their surfaces.

How do i find stretch? The problem in questioning has already given me the elastic energy and k-value, but I have no idea how to

finlep [7]

Answer:

Stretch can be obtained using the Elastic potential energy formula.

The expression to find the stretch (x) is $x=\sqrt{\frac{2\times EPE}{k}}$

Explanation:

Given:

Elastic potential energy (EPE) of the spring mass system and the spring constant (k) are given.

To find: Elongation in the spring (x).

We can find the elongation or stretch of the spring using the formula for Elastic Potential Energy (EPE).

The formula to find EPE is given as:

$EPE=\frac{1}{2}kx^2$

Rewriting the above expression in terms of 'x', we get:

$x=\sqrt{\frac{2\times EPE}{k}}$

Example:

If EPE = 100 J and spring constant, k = 2 N/m.

Elongation or stretch is given as:

$x=\sqrt{\frac{2\times EPE}{k}}\\\\x=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 100}{2}}\\\\x=\sqrt{100}=10\ m$

Therefore, the stretch in the spring is 10 m.

So, stretch in the spring can be calculated using the formula for Elastic Potential Energy.

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

The axis of rotation of the Earth is tilted at an angle of 23.5 degrees away from vertical, perpendicular to the plane of our planet's orbit around the sun. The tilt of the Earth's axis is important, in that it governs the warming strength of the sun's energy.
