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.

Why do the pipes in a steam-heating system need to be insulated?
qaws [65]

Answer:

1. Increase Efficiency: Insulating the condensate or hot water return lines reduces heat loss from the water returning to the boiler. The hotter the water returning to the boiler is, the quicker it is to convert back to steam, which takes less energy to accomplish.

A 13 kg hanging sculpture is suspended by a 95-cm-long, 5.0 g steel wire. When the wind blows hard, the wire hums at its fundame
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

f=81.96 \ Hz

Explanation:

Givens

L=95cm

m_{sculpture} =13kg

m_{wire}=5g

The frequency is defined by

f=\frac{v}{\lambda}

Where v is the speed of the wave in the string and \lambda is its wave length.

The wave length is defined as \lambda = 2L = 2(0.95m)=1.9m

Now, to find the speed, we need the tension of the wire and its linear mass density

v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} }

Where \mu=\frac{0.005kg}{0.95m}= 5.26 \times 10^{-3} and the tension is defined as T=m_{sculpture} g=13kg(9.81 m/s^{2} )=127.53N

Replacing this value, the speed is

v=\sqrt{\frac{127.53N}{5.26 \times 10^{-3} } }=155.71 m/s

Then, we replace the speed and the wave length in the first equation

f=\frac{v}{\lambda}\\f=\frac{155.71 m/s}{1.9m}\\ f=81.96Hz

Therefore, the frequency is f=81.96 \ Hz

2 Magnetism comes from the word
AysviL [449]

Answer:

A Magnesia

Explanation:

The word magnetism comes from the word Magnesia, which is the name for a region in Asia Minor, where fragments of Fe3O4 ore (magnetite) were found, which attracts other metal objects.

Magnetism is a physical phenomenon by which we describe the attractive or repulsive force between materials.

This phenomenon has been known for thousands of years.

Explain why the elements of the same group exhibit the same chemical behavior​
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

All the elements of a period have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of valence electrons in their outermost shell. Their atoms have the same number of electrons in the highest occupied energy level

PLS HELP!!! A 1200-kg whale swims horizontally to the right at a speed of 6.0 m/s. It suddenly collides directly with a stationa
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

7200 kg.m/s

Explanation:

According the law of conservation of linear momentum, the sum of momentum before and after collision are equal.

Using this principle, the sum of initial momentum will be given as p=mv where p is momentum, m is mass and v is velocity

Initial momentum

Mass of whale*initial velocity of whale + mass of seal*initial seal velocity

Since the seal is initially stationary, its velocity is zero. By substitution and taking right direction as positive

Initial momentum will be

1200*6+(280*0)=7200 kg.m/s

Since both initial and final momentum should be equal, hence the final momentum will also be 7200 kg.m/s
