Answer:

When we see a region of a planet that is not as heavily cratered as other regions, it means that the surface of that region is younger.

Explanation:

There are a number of processes that affect planetary surfaces like erosion, volcanism, plate tectonics and the amount of craters by impact of meteorites.

The density of craters in a given region suggests the age of the surface. If the surface is saturated by craters then is likely very old because a long time should have passed for the planet to be hit by so many meteorites. If there are very few craters this may indicate that the surface is quite young, because the other processes described above wouldn't have had enough time to erase them. In any case we need to study  the change of the cratering rate over time to determine the age of a given surface.

An object-spring system undergoes simple harmonic motion with an amplitude A. Does the total energy change if the mass is double
son4ous [18]

Answer: No, The energy will remain the same

Explanation: Doubling the mass and leaving the amplitude unchanged won't have any effect on the total energy of the system.

At maximum displacement, E=0.5kA^2

Where E = total energy

K = spring constant

A = Amplitude

From the formula above : Total Energy is independent of mass,. Therefore, total energy won't be affected by Doubling the mass value of the object.

Also when the object is at a displacement 'x' from its equilibrium position.

E = Potential Energy(P.E) + Kinetic Energy(K.E)

P.E = 0.5kx^2

Where x = displacement from equilibrium position

E = Total Energy

K. E= E-0.5kx^2

From the relation above, total energy is independent of its mass and therefore has no effect on the total energy.

A uniform 1.0-N meter stick is suspended horizontally by vertical strings attached at each end. A 2.0-N weight is suspended from
fgiga [73]

Answer:

3.5 N

Explanation:

Let the 0-cm end be the moment point. We know that for the system to be balanced, the total moment about this point must be 0. Let's calculate the moment at each point, in order from 0 to 100cm

- Tension of the string attached at the 0cm end is 0 as moment arm is 0

- 2 N weight suspended from the 10 cm position: 2*10 = 20 Ncm clockwise

- 2 N weight suspended from the 50 cm position: 2*50 = 100 Ncm clockwise

- 1 N stick weight at its center of mass, which is 50 cm position, since the stick is uniform: 1*50 = 50 Ncm clockwise

- 3 N weight suspended from the 60 cm position: 3*60 = 180 Ncm clockwise

- Tension T (N) of the string attached at the 100-cm end: T*100 = 100T Ncm counter-clockwise.

Total Clockwise moment = 20 + 100 + 50 + 180 = 350Ncm

Total counter-clockwise moment = 100T

For this to balance, 100 T = 350

so T = 350 / 100 = 3.5 N

Find the x-component of this
Sholpan [36]

Answer: 74.8m

Explanation:

We have the vector defined by:

r = 101m

θ = 42.2°

When we want to write this as rectangular components, we have that:

x = r*cos(θ)

y = t*sin(θ)

this is because we can construct a triangle rectangle, where the module of the vector is the hypotenuse, the x component is the adjacent cathetus and the y component is the opposite cathetus.

Then, here we have that the x component is

x = 101m*cos(42.2°) = 74.8m

When an exothermic reaction releases thermal energy, this energy is usually_____.
saw5 [17]

Explanation:

A chemical reaction in which heat or energy is released is known as an exothermic reaction.

On the other hand, when two objects are placed together and heat flows from hotter object to colder object then this process is known as conduction. Therefore, energy is dissipated in conduction process.

Since energy released released goes into the atmosphere and is not used anywhere.

Thus, we can conclude that when an exothermic reaction releases thermal energy, this energy is usually not useable to do work and it is dissipated by conduction.

Assume that a machine puts out 8000 joules of work when the user puts in 10,000 joules of work. What is the efficiency of the ma
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

80 Percent

Explanation:

E=energy output/energy input×100

E=8000/10000×100

E=0.8×100

E=80 percent.
