Answer: Mars has lower gravity and lower magma buoyancy

Explanation: The gravity in mars is low. Low gravity affect the occurrence of volcanic eruptions. The buoyancy of the magma in Mars is lower and the depth of the magma chamber deeper (Buoyancy is the difference in density between the surrounding crust and the magma ascending for eruption). Olympus Mons which is larger and wider than mount Everest was formed as a result of overcoming of the low gravity and buoyancy by the magma to release enormous volume of magma to the surface.

Another reason why the volcanoes on Mars are so large is because the crust on Mars is static unlike Earth.

A mass of 2.82 kg is hung from a spring, causing the spring to stretch 0.331 m. If a second mass of 3.09 kg is now added to the
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

0.694 m

Explanation:

Case 1 : When only mass of 2.82 kg is hanged from spring

m = mass hanged from the spring = 2.82 kg

x = stretch caused in the spring = 0.331 m

k = spring constant

Using equilibrium of force in vertical direction

Spring force = weight of the mass

k x = m g

k (0.331) = (2.82) (9.8)

k = 83.5 N/m

Case 2 : When both masses are hanged from spring

m = mass hanged from the spring = 3.09 + 2.82 = 5.91 kg

x = stretch caused in the spring = ?

k = spring constant = 83.5 N/m

Using equilibrium of force in vertical direction

Spring force = weight of the mass

k x = m g

(83.5) x = (5.91) (9.8)

x = 0.694 m

Scenario: You place a mug of hot tea on the table in a cool room.
Shkiper50 [21]
A. Radiation, conduction

B.
*Radiation will occur between the mug of hot tea and the room
*conduction will occur between the mug of hot tea and the table

C. The table as well as the surrounding air will become warmer.
This is because heat is given off from the mug of hot tea.

A real (non-Carnot) heat engine, operating between heat reservoirs at temperatures of and performs 4.1 kJ of net work, and rejec
Sati [7]
There are some missing data in the problem. The full text is the following:
"<span>A </span>real<span> (</span>non-Carnot<span>) </span>heat engine<span>, </span>operating between heat reservoirs<span> at </span>temperatures<span> of 710 K and 270 K </span>performs 4.1 kJ<span> of </span>net work<span>, and </span>rejects<span> 9.7 </span>kJ<span> of </span>heat<span>, in a </span>single cycle<span>. The </span>thermal efficiency<span> of a </span>Carnot heat<span> engine, operating between the same </span>heat<span> reservoirs, in percent, is closest to.."

Solution:
The efficiency of a Carnot cycle working between cold temperature </span>T_C and  hot temperature T_H is given by
\eta = 1 - \frac{T_C}{T_H}
and it represents the maximum efficiency that can be reached by a machine operating between these temperatures. If we use the temperatures of the problem, T_C=270 K and T_H=710 K, the efficiency is
\eta = 1 - \frac{270 K}{710 K}=0.62 = 62%

Therefore, the correct answer is D) 62 %.
