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.

Recall that if a line is parallel to the vector v and passes through the point P0, which is the tip of the position vector r0, t
Elenna [48]

Answer:

The vector equation of the line is

                                \overrightarrow{r}=+t

Parametric equations for given line are

                                       x=7+t\\y=-8+6t\\z=3-13t

Explanation:

The vector equation of the line is given by

                                     r(t) = r_{o} + tv

r₀ = (7, -8, 3)

v = (1, 6, -13)

At these points the vector equation for this line is:

\overrightarrow{r}=\overrightarrow{r_{o}}+t\overrightarrow{v}\\\overrightarrow{r}=+t

Parametric equations for given line are

                                       x=7+t\\y=-8+6t\\z=3-13t

The heat flux that is applied to one face of a plane wall is q″ = 20 W/m2. The opposite face is exposed to air at temperature 30
Blababa [14]

Answer:

400 W/m^2 and 31℃

Explanation:

The output heat flux q"= 20 W/m^2 (geven)

The output heat flux from.the wall to the air by convection

q"conv = h(ts - t∞)

q"conv = 20(50-30) = 400 W/m^2

Therefor, this case is unsteady and the wall temperature changes with time till the energy balance exist.

ENERGY BALANCE

The input energy must be equal to the output energy for steady state condition. If not the state will be unstaidy or transient.

2. Its noticed that the output heat flux is not that the I put heat flux, therefore the wall tempers will be decreased till the output heat flux is reduced to the value of the given input heat flux

T steady = T∞ +q"/h

= 30 + 20/20 = 31℃

A) an electron has an initial speed of 226000 m/s. if it undergoes an acceleration of 4.0 x 1014 m/s2, how long will it take to
KIM [24]

initial speed of 226000 m/s

acceleration of 4.0 x 1014 m/s2,

speed of 781000 m/s

What is Acceleration?

  • Acceleration is a rate of change of velocity with respect to time with respect to direction and speed.
  • A point or an object moving in a straight line is accelerated if it speeds up or slows down.
  • Acceleration formula can be written as,

                    a = (v - u ) / t m/s²

As we have to find the time taken, the formula can be altered as,

t = \frac{v-u}{a}

where, t - time taken to reach a final speed

v - final velocity

u - initial velocity

a - acceleration.

Substituting all the given values,

t =\frac{781000 - 226000} {4* 1014}

= 1.3875 × 10⁻⁹ seconds.

So, taken to reach the final speed is found to be 1.3 × 10⁻⁹ 8iH..

The effective nuclear charge experienced by the outermost electron of Na is different than the effective nuclear charge experien
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

B) Na has a lower first ionization energy than Ne.  

Explanation:

The atomic number¹ for Na has a value of 11 while in the case of Ne this value is 10. That means that Sodium (Na) has a total number of 11 protons, 11 neutrons and 11 electrons (since it is electrically neutral²). For the case of Neon (Ne) it has 10 protons, 10 neutrons and 10 electrons.

As the atomic number increases, the atomic radius³ shrinks (the orbitals are closer to the nucleus) as a consequence of the electric force. For the case of sodium (Na) the electron in the outermost orbital will experience a lower electric force than the electron placed in the outermost orbital in the atom of Neon (Ne).

Although, the sodium’s atom has more protons and therefore electrons, these eleven electrons will be organized according with the electronic configuration⁴ in the different shells (orbitals) of probabilities of their positions around the atom.

The electronic configuration for Na is:

1s²2s²2p⁶3s¹

The electronic configuration for Ne is:

1s²2s²2p⁶

Since Na needs another orbital to placed its outermost electron, the atomic radius will have a greater value than Ne. The electric force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between two charged particles, as is established in Coulomb’s law:

F = \kappa_{0} \frac{q1q2}{r^{2}}    (1)

Where q1 and q2 are the charges, \kappa_{0} is the proportionality constant and r is the distance between the two charges.

Hence, the electron in the outermost orbital of Ne is submitted to a greater electric force according with equation 1, the required energy to remove it (ionization energy⁵) will be greater than in the case of Na (<u>for that case will be the first ionization energy</u>).

¹Atomic number: The number of protons or electrons in an atom.

²Electricaly neutral: All the charges are balanced (same number of positive charges and negative charges).

³Atomic radius: Distance between the center of the nucleus and an electron placed in the outermost orbital for a specific atom.

⁴Electronic configuration: Show how the electrons of an atom will be arranged in different orbitals according with the fact that each orbital has a specific number of electrons that can be held.

⁵Ionization energy: Energy required to remove an electron from an atom.

Key values:

First ionization energy of Na: 495 kJ/mol

First ionization energy of Ne: 2080 kJ/mol

Atomic radius of Na: 2.27 Å

Atomic radius of Ne: 1.54 Å

Atomic number of Na: 11

Atomic number of Ne: 10
