Answer:

$D = 3.55 \times 10^6 m$

Explanation:

Light rays coming from moon is blocked by the pencil

so as per figure we know that angle subtended by pencil and angle subtended by moon must be same

so we have

$Angle = \frac{Arc}{Radius}$

so we have

$\frac{D}{3.8 \times 10^8 m} = \frac{0.7 cm}{75 cm}$

so we have

$D = 3.55 \times 10^6 m$

MGS and later orbiters found spectral evidence for what minerals on the Martian surface? Check all that apply.

slamgirl [31]

Mars Global Surveyors (MGS) and later orbiters found the following minerals on the Martian surface;

Phyllosilicates

Carbonate
Sulfates
Iron oxide

The Mars Global Surveyors (MGS) and later orbiters suggest that the Martian crust contains a higher percentage of volatile elements such as Sulphur and chlorine than the Earth's crust does.

These scientists also conclude that the most abundant chemical elements in the Martian crust are those found in Igneous rock.

These elements include the following;

Silicon,
Oxygen,
Iron,
Magnesium,
Aluminum,
Calcium, and
Potassium.

They also, suggest that hydrogen is found in ice (water) while carbon is found in carbon dioxide and carbonates.

From the given options the minerals found in Martian surface include;

Phyllosilicates ------ these are sheet of silicate minerals

Carbonate
Sulfates
iron oxide

An electron moves through a uniform electric field vector E = (2.80î + 5.20ĵ) V/m and a uniform magnetic field vector B = 0.400k

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

1.758820×10^11(-2.5i-0.8j) m/s^2

Explanation:

From the question, the parameters given are; E=(2.80i+ 5.20j) v/m, a uniform magnetic field,B= 0.400K T, acceleration, a= ??? and velocity vector, v= 11.0i metre per seconds (m/s)...

We can solve this problem using the formula below;

Ma= q[E+V × B] ---------------(1).

Note: q is negative, m= mass of electron.

Making acceleration,a the subject of the formula and substituting the parameters into equation (1);

a= -e/m × (2.5i + 5.2j +11.0i × 0.400K)

a= -e/m × (2.5i+5.2j-4.4j)

a= e/m × (-2.5i - 0.8j)

e/m= 1.758820×10^11 c/kg

Therefore, slotting in the value of charge to mass(e/m) ratio;

a= 1.7588×10^11×(-2.5i-0.8j) m/s^2

A completely inelastic collision occurs between two balls of wet putty that move directly toward each other along a vertical axi

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

h = 2.64 meters

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of one ball, $m_1=3\ kg$

Speed of the first ball, $v_1=20\ m/s$ (upward)

Mass of the other ball, $m_2=2\ kg$

Speed of the other ball, $v_2=-12\ m/s$ (downward)

We know that in an inelastic collision, after the collision, both objects move with one common speed. Let it is given by V. Using the conservation of momentum to find it as :

$V=\dfrac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2}$
