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.

1 gallon = 231 cubic inches
1 cubic foot = 1728 cubic inches

                       (55 gal) x (231 in³/gal) x (1 ft³/1728 in³)

                   =    (55 x 231 / 1728)  ft³

The amplitude of a simple harmonic oscillator will be doubled by:a) doubling only the initial speedb) doubling the initial displ
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

When both initial speed and initial displacement is doubled then amplitude will be doubled.

Explanation:

Given that :- Amplitude of simple harmonic Oscillator  is doubled.

So,

     Formula of Simple harmonic oscillator is  X=A\sin\ (2\pi ft +\phi)  ...........(1)

                                                            Where X = Position in (m,cm,km.....)

                                                                        A = Amplitude  in (m,cm,km.....)

                                                                        F = Frequency in (Hz)

                                                                        T = Time in (sec.)

                                                                        Ф = Phase in (rad)

  For initial displacement taking t=0 we get,

                          Initial displacement = A\sin(\phi)    .................(2)            

Now taking equation (1) and differentiating it w.r.t to (t) we get

                                \frac{dx}{dt} = 2\pi fA\cos\ (2\pi ft+\phi)

                                 V= 2\pi fA\cos\ (2\pi ft+\phi)

taking t=0 for initial speed then we get,

                                Initial speed = 2\pi fA\cos\phi    ...............(3)

observing equation (2) & (3) that the initial displacement and initial speed depends on the Amplitude of the Oscillator.

Hence,

when both initial speed and displacement is doubled then amplitude will be doubled.

Doubly ionized lithium Li2+ (Z = 3) and triply ionized beryllium Be3+ (Z = 4) each emit a line spectrum. For a certain series of
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

tex]\lambda_{Be}[/tex] = 22.78 nm

Explanation:

Bohr's model for the hydrogen atom has been used by other atoms with a single electric charge by changing the number of charges by the charge of the new atom (atomic number)

      E_{n}= k e² / 2a₀ (1 /n²)

      ao = h'² / k m e²               h' = h/2πi

For another atom with a single electron in the last layer

      a₀ ’= h’² / k m (Ze)²  

      a₀ ’= a₀ / Z²

Therefore, when replacing in the equation

      E_{n} = - Z²  Eo/n²

     E₀ = 13,606 eV

The transition occurs when the electron stops from one level to another

         E_{n} -  E_{m} = Z² E₀ (1 / n² - 1 / m²) = Z² ΔE

Let's relate this expression to the wavelength

       c = λ f

      E = h f

      E = h c /λ

      h c / λ = Z² ΔE

     λ = 1 / Z² (hc / ΔE)

     λ = 1 / Z² λ_hydrogen

Let's apply this last equation to our case

Lithium Z = 3

     E_{n} = - 9 Eo / n²

     

      40.5 10-9 = 1/9 λ_hydrogen

Beryllium Z = 4

      λ = 1/16 λ_hydrogen

Let's write our two equations is and solve

     40.5 10-9 = 1/9 λ_hydrogen

    tex]\lambda_{Be}[/tex] = 1/ 16 λ_hydrogen

      40.5 10⁻⁹ = 1/9 (16 \lambda_{Be} )

    tex]\lambda_{Be}[/tex] = 40.5 9/16

  tex]\lambda_{Be}[/tex] = 22.78 nm

A woman has a mass of 55kg on earth, what is her mass on the moon​
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

55 kg

Explanation:

Mass does not change and is not dependant on gravity. So even though your weight will be less on the moon your mass won't change.
