Answer:

one-third of its weight on Earth's surface

Explanation:

Weight of an object is = W = m*g

Gravity on Earth = g₁ = 9.8 m/s

Gravity on Mars = g₂ = \frac{1}{3} g₁

Weight of probe on earth = w₁ = m * g₁

Weight of probe on Mars = w₂ = m * g₂ -------- ( 1 )

As g₂ = g₁/3 --------- ( 2 )

Put equation (2) in equation (1)

so

Weight of probe on Mars = w₂ = m * g₁ /3

Weight of probe on Mars = \frac{1}{3}  m * g₁ = \frac{1}{3} w₁

⇒Weight of probe on Mars =\frac{1}{3} Weight of probe on earth

Mr. Barcena reached a top speed of 5m/s in 2 seconds from rest, what was his average acceleration including units?
sashaice [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

The equation for acceleration is

a=\frac{v_f-v_0}{t} where vf is the final velocity and v0 is the initial velocity. Filling in:

a=\frac{5-0}{2} so

a = 2.5 m/s/s

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

Some of the effects of a dam on the environment includes;

1) Increase in the amount of the greenhouse gases

2) Removal of the natural wetland and ocean carbon sinks

3) Disruption of the sources of nutrients in the ecosystem

4) Destruction of habitats

5) Raising of the sea levels and waste waters

6) Displace villages and communities

7) Dams have a potential to create flood risk

8) Dams lead to increased water loss due to evaporation and transpiration

9) Dams causes earthquakes

Explanation:

Dams are a source of renewable energy and are a means to prevent floods, however, dams can also have detrimental impact on the climate and the environment.

Suppose that the resistance between the walls of a biological cell is 6.8 × 109 ω. (a) what is the current when the potential di
GenaCL600 [577]
(a) We can find the current flowing between the walls by using Ohm's law:
I= \frac{\Delta V}{R}
where \Delta V=69 mV=0.069 V is the potential difference and R=6.8\cdot 10^9 \Omega is the resistance. Substituting these values, we get
I=1.01 \cdot 10^{-11} A

(b) The total charge flowing between the walls is the product between the current and the time interval:
Q=I \Delta t
The problem says \Delta t=0.86 s, so the total charge is
Q=(1.01\cdot 10^{-11} A)(0.86 s)=8.73 \cdot 10^{-12} C

The current consists of Na+ ions, each of them having a charge of e=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C. To find the number of ions flowing, we can simply divide the total charge by the charge of a single ion:
N= \frac{Q}{e} = \frac{8.73 \cdot 10^{-12}C}{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C} = 5.45 \cdot 10^7 ions
