Answer: a. This would be exciting, but not surprising. Heat from Martian volcanoes may well be enough to melt water under the Mars' surface.

Explanation: It was recently observed by a team of geological researchers that there exist some activity at the crust of the planet mars. This activity are volcanic in nature and estimated to be about 10kilometers large. Also this volcanic eruptions in the planet mars core are described as among the largest in our solar system. Therefore it won't be a surprise that Heat from Martian volcanoes may well be enough to melt water under the Mars' surface.

In what direction does centripetal force act on an object that is traveling in a circular path?
Setler [38]

According to Newton's first law of motion, it is the natural tendency of all moving objects to continue in motion in the same direction that they are moving ... unless some form of unbalanced force acts upon the object to deviate its motion from its straight-line path.

Hope this helped, have a great day!

Your cousin Jannik skis down a blue square ski slope, with an initial speed of 3.6 m/s. He travels 15 m down the mountain side b
fenix001 [56]

Answer: The loss of energy due to friction is equal to 1,253 J.

Explanation:

The problem tells us that the skier has an initial speed of 3.6 m/s, which means that his initial kinetic energy is as follows:

K₁ = 1/2 m v₁² = 1/2 . 58.0 Kg. (3.6)² (m/s)² =  376 J

After coming to a  flat landing, his final speed is 7.8 m/s, so the final kinetic energy is as follows:

K₂ = 1/2 m v₂² = 1/2. 58.0 Kg. (7.8)² (m/s)² = 1,764 J

Now, when skying down the slope the increase in kinetic energy only can come from another type of energy, in this case, gravitational potential energy.

If we take the ground flat level as a Zero reference, the initial gravitational potential energy, can be written as follows, by definition:

U₁ = m.g. h (1)

Now, we don't know the value of the height h, but we know that the incline has a 18º angle above the horizontal, and that the distance travelled along the incline is 15 m.

By definition, the sinus of an angle, is equal to the proportion between the height and the hypotenuse , so we can write the following equation:

sin 18º = h / 15 m ⇒ h = 15 m. sin 18º = 4.6 m

Replacing in (1), we get:

U₁ = 58.0 Kg. 9.8 m/s². 4.6 m = 2,641 J

So, we can get the total initial mechanical energy, as follows:

E₁ = K₁ + U₁ = 376 J + 2,641 J = 3,017 J

After arriving to the flat zone, all potential energy has become in kinetic energy, even though not completely, due to the effect of friction.

This remaining kinetic energy can be written as follows:

E₂ = K₂ = 1,764 J

The difference E₂-E₁, is the loss of energy due to friction forces acting during the travel along the 15 m path, and is as follows:

ΔE= E₂ - E₁ = 1,764 J - 3,017 J = -1,253 J

How do we know the sun rotate
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

From the movement of sunspots, Galileo discovered that sun rotate s on its own axis.

Explanation:

All the sunspots are traveling across the Sun's head. This movement is part of the Sun's general rotation of its axis. Observations also suggest that the Sun does not rotate like a solid body, but rotates differently because it is a gas. Actually the Sun is spinning faster at its equator than at at its poles. The Sun rotates once every 24 days at its equator, but only once every 35 days at its poles. We learn this by observing the movement of sunspots and other solar features pass through the Sun.

maw [93]
Velocity is displacement/time
(Displacement is the overall change in distance)

So you’ll want to divide 200 by 25, which should give you:
