Answer:

The gravitational field strength on the surface of Mars = 3.72 m/s²

Explanation:

Gravitational Field Strength: This can be defined as the force per unit mass which is exerted at that point. its direction is the force exerted on a mass in a gravitational field. The S.I unit of gravitational field strength is m/s²

Mathematically, Gravitational field is represented as,

g = F/m ..................... Equation 1.

m = F/g ..................... Equation 2.

Where g = gravitational Field Strength, F = force on the mass, m = mass of the body.

From the question,

Note: That The mass of the object is constant both on the surface of the earth and on the surface of Mars.

On the Surface of the earth,

Given: F = 785 N, g = 9.8 m/s²

Substituting this values into equation 2,

m = 785/9.8

m = 80.10 kg.

On the surface of Mars.

Given: m = 80.10 kg, F = 298.

Substituting into equation 2

g = 298/80.1

g = 3.72 m/s²

Thus the gravitational field strength on the surface of Mars = 3.72 m/s²

An atom of arsenic has how many electron-containing orbitals

irina [24]

Answer:

The Arsenic has three electron-containing orbitals. The orbitals s, p and d.

Explanation:

Arsenic is an element with an atomic number equal of 33, it means that it has 33 electrons in its orbitals in the following way:

$1s^{2}$

$2s^{2}$

$2p^{6}$

$3s^{2}$

$3p^{6}$

$3d^{10}$

$4s^{2}$

$4p^{3}$

Therefore, the Arsenic has three electron-containing orbitals (s, p d).

A girl coasts down a hill on a sled, reaching level ground at the bottom with a speed of 7.4 m/s. The coefficient of kinetic fri

Amanda [17]

Answer: 62.22 meters

Explanation:

Two solve this, we need to know first how the Sled interact with the snow. While the Sled runs over the snow, the snow opposes to it movement, this is call friction. Frictions creates is a force that goes against any movement and is caused by the interaction between surfaces.

Friction can be calculated using the following equation:

Friction's Force (Ff) = m*N

Where m is the Frictions coficient and N is call Normal, which is a force created by the contact between any weight and a surface. Because the sled is and the surface are totally horizontal, the Normal is equal to the Sled's Weight.

So for this case, we can calculate the Friction's Force:

Ff = 0.045 * 735 N

Ff = 33,07 N

This force will cause a negative acceleration the Sled causing it to slow down and finally stop. To know this accelaration we can use the following equation:

Force (F) = Mass (m) * Accelaration (a)

Looking for the accelaration:

Acceleration (a) = F / M

As a side note:

Mass (M) = F / a (1)

Where we know that F is equal to our Friction Force (Ff) and the Mass for the girl and the Sled can be obtained using the previous equation (1) like this

Girl and sled Mass (M) = 735 N / (9.81 m/s)

M = 74,92 Kg

This is posible, because the Girl and The Sled are aplying a Force on the ground equal to 735 N. The accelartion for their mass is the gravity

Now, with the mass we can found the Accelaration caused by friction:

Acceleration (a) = Ff / M

Accelaration (a) = 33,07 N / 74,92 Kg

a = 0,44 $m/s^{2}$

To know how far the Sled travel we can use the following equation:

$V_{f} ^{2} = V_{0} ^{2} + 2ax$

Where Vf is the Final Velocity, which is when the sled finally stops (Vf = 0), Vo is the Initial Speed of the Sled equal to 7.4 m/s and a is equal to the negative accelaration that causes the friction.

$(0)^{2} = (7.4 m/s)^{2} + 2(-0,44)x$

Searching for x:

$x = \frac{0 - (7.4 m/s)^{2} }{-0.88}$

$x = 62.22 meters$

The girls will run over the snow 62.22 meter until finally stopping

Why don't we feel pressure exerted by atmosphere?

ozzi

Crushing pressure. Human bodies are used to air pressure. The air pressure in our lungs, ears and stomachs is the same as the air pressure outside of our bodies, which ensures that we don't get crushed. Our bodies are also flexible enough to cope when the internal and external pressures aren't exactly the same.
