The spacecraft is orbiting at 2000 Km. The engine has to put it on 4000 km altitude, therefore the engine has to push it into another 2000 km, so that it will attain the 4000 km altitude.

Given. Gravitational pull of planet Mars g = 3.71 m/s²

            Mass of the spacecraft m = 5000 kg

Formula: W = fd   F = mg    

               W = mgh

               W = (5000 Kg)(3. 71 m/s²)(2 x 10⁶m)

               W = 3.71 x 10¹⁰ J

If an unknown element has a mass of 17 and contains 6 neutrons, how many protons does it have ?
lbvjy [14]

The mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons within an atom and since we know that the unknown element has 6 neutrons, we can simply subtract the number of neutrons from the mass number to get the number of protons.

17 - 6 = 11

There are 11 protons in this unknown element.


Extra:

The number of protons (+) and electrons (-) are equal in a neutral atom so since you know that there are 11 protons you also know that there are 11 electrons. On the periodic table, the element with 11 electrons is Na or Sodium.


Hope this helps! :)

Semi-trailer trucks have an odometer on one hub of a trailer wheel. The hub is weighted so that it does not rotate, but it conta
shtirl [24]

Answer:

1020 km

Explanation:

A complete rotation of the wheel equals a distance of 1 circumference.

The circumference is

C = \pi d

where <em>d</em> is the diameter of the wheel.

300,000 rotations = 300000\pi d = 300000\times\pi\times1.08\text{ m} = 1017876.0\ldots\text{ m}

In kilometers, this is = 1017876/1000 km = 1020 km

I NEED HELP ASAP!!! 100 points if you answer these 7 questions:
netineya [11]

Answer:

#1. B. Alfred Wegener

#2. C. Volcanic activity at the ocean bottom.

#3. B, C. Continental, Sea floor (oceanic).

#4. B. Folding

#5. B. Tectonics

#6. C. Point underground where the earthquake starts

#7. C. Flood waters carrying away soil

Explanation:

#1. Alfred Lothar Wegener was a German polar researcher, geophysicist and meteorologist. During his lifetime he was primarily known for his achievements in meteorology and as a pioneer of polar research, and is also known as the father of plate tectonics.

#2. The most prominent feature of ocean topography discovered in the 1960s was: Volcanic activity at the ocean bottom. The continents have always been in their current positions.

#3. Tectonic plates are composed of oceanic lithosphere and thicker continental lithosphere, each topped by its own kind of crust. The two types of tectonic plates are continental and oceanic tectonic plates.

#4. Tremendous pushing forces exerted by two of Earth's plates moving together squeezed rock layers from opposite sides. This caused the rock layers to buckle and fold, forming folded mountains. Folded mountains are mountains formed by the folding of rock layers caused by compression forces.

#5. Plate tectonics is the scientific theory explaining the movement of the earth's crust. It is widely accepted by scientists today. Recall that both continental landmasses and the ocean floor are part of the earth's crust, and that the crust is broken into individual pieces called tectonic plates.

#6. The hypocenter is the point within the earth where an earthquake rupture starts. The epicenter is the point directly above it at the surface of the Earth. Also commonly termed the focus. See also epicenter.

#7. This process is known as erosion. In earth science, erosion is the action of surface processes that removes soil, rock, or dissolved material from one location on the Earth's crust, and then transports it to another location.

Hope this helps!

Have a nice day!

What is the mass, in grams, of 2.00 moles of H2O?
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

36g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of moles of H₂O = 2moles

Unknown:

Mass of  H₂O = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, use the expression below:

   Mass of  H₂O = number of moles x molar mass

Molar mass of  H₂O = 2(1) + 16  = 18g/mol

  Mass of  H₂O = 2 x 18  = 36g
