If Mars were the same size as Mercury (instead of its actual size), which surface features would it have?

Physics
1 answer:
choli [55]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

A surface that is full of craters, very similar to that one seen in mercury.

Explanation:

Mercury is the smaller planet in the solar system whit a very thin atmosphere. If Mars were the same size of mercury it will certainly have a surface full of craters.

When meteoroid (fragments of rock) reach the atmosphere of a planet, they get incinerate as a consequence of the friction between the object and the atmosphere. However, if the meteoroid has the necessary size it can reach the ground (at this point is known as meteorite).

In the case propose, it is most likely that bigger meteorite reach the surface of the planet, which leads to the result of a surface full of craters since the size of mars is not enough to maintain a very dense atmosphere due to the weak gravitational field.

(a) A light-rail commuter train accelerates at a rate of 1.35 m/s2 . How long does it take to reach its top speed of 80.0 km/h,
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

(a) Time t = 16.46 sec

(b) Time t =13.466 sec

(c) Deceleration = 2.677m/sec^2

Explanation:

(a) As the train starts from rest its initial velocity u = 0 m/sec

Acceleration a=1.35m/sec^2

Final speed v = 80 km/hr

80km/hr=\frac{80\times 1000}{3600sec}=22.22m/sec

From first equation of motion v =u+at

So t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{22.22-0}{1.35}=16.46 sec

(b) Now initial speed u = 22.22 m/sec

As finally train comes to rest so final speed v=0 m/sec

Deceleration a=1.65m/sec^2

So t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{0-22.22}{-1.65}=13.466 sec

(c) We have given that initial velocity = 80 km/hr = 22.22 m/sec

Final velocity v = 0 m/sec

Time t = 8.30 sec

So acceleration is given by

a=\frac{v-u}{t}=\frac{0-22.22}{8.3}=-2.6771m/sec^2

As acceleration is negative so it is a deceleration

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

<h2>23.33 kg </h2>

Explanation:

The mass of the object can be found by using the formula

m =  \frac{f}{a}  \\

f is the force

a is the acceleration

From the question we have

m  = \frac{42}{1.8}   = 23.3333... \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>23.33 kg</h3>

Hope this helps you
