The fact that Mercury has no atmosphere is evidence that it _____.

Physics

Answer:

The correct choice is

"reflects a small percentage of the sunlight that strikes it"

Explanation:

Mercury has no atmosphere and it being very close to sun receives large amount of sunlight. due to absence of atmosphere, much of the sunlight reach the surface of the planet and gets absorbed by the surface making it very hot for life. Only a small percentage of sunlight that strikes the surface gets reflected.

We want to know what does the fact that Mercury has no atmosphere tell us. Since Mercury has no atmosphere it cant reflect a lot of sunlight that is hitting its surface. Its constantly being hit by solar wind. So Mercury reflects a small percentage of the sunlight that strikes it.

3 A 100 g steel ball falls from a height of 1.8 m on to a metal plate and rebounds to a height of 1.25 m.​
BigorU [14]

Given values:

Mass of the steel ball, m = 100 g = 0.1 kg

Height of the steel ball, h1 = 1.8 m

Rebound height, h2 = 1.25 m

a.  PE= mgh

0.1 x 9.8 x 1.8 =

1.764 Joules

b. KE = PE ->

1.764 Joules

c. KE= 1/2 mv square

so v = square root 2ke/m

square root 2 x 1.764/ 0.1

= 5.93 m/s

d. KE=PE=mgh square

0.1 x 9.8 x 1.21 =

1.186 joules

velocity of rebond is square root 2x 1.186/ 0.1 = 4.87 m/s

The electromagnetic wave that delivers a cellular phone callto
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

E=2.41\cdot 10^{-5} J

Explanation:

The intensity of an electromagnetic wave can be expressed in terms of the magnetic field using the next relationship:

I_{average}=\frac{cB_{0}^{2}}{2\mu_{0}} (1)

  • c is the speed of light (3*10⁸ m/s)
  • μ₀ is the permeability of free space (in vacuum ) (1.26*10⁻⁶ N/A²)
  • B₀ is the magnetic field

I_{average}=\frac{3\cdot 10^{8}(1.5\cdot 10^{-10})^{2}}{2\cdot 1.26\cdot 10^{-6}}

I_{average}=2.68\cdot 10^{-6} W/m^{2}

Now, let's define the relationship between power (P) and average intensity (I).

I_{average}=\frac{P}{A}

  • P is the power
  • A is the area crossed

So we can calculate the power.

P=I_{average}\cdot A=2.68\cdot 10^{-6}\cdot 0.20=5.37\cdot 10^{-7} W

Finally, energy is the product of P times time, so:

E=P\cdot t=5.37\cdot 10^{-7} \cdot 45=2.41\cdot 10^{-5} J

I hope it helps you!

Planet X is in a stable circular orbit around a star, as shown in the figure. Which of the following graphs best predicts the an
damaskus [11]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Angular momentum is the product of moment of inertia and angular velocity.

L = I × ω

Since the planet follows a stable circular orbit, I and ω are constant and non-zero.  Therefore, the angular momentum is constant and non-zero.
