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.

1) Energy transfer is the movement of energy from one location to another. ... Energy transformation is when energy changes from one form to another – like in a hydroelectric dam that transforms the kinetic energy of water into electrical energy.

3)Common examples of energy storage are the rechargeable battery, which stores chemical energy readily convertible to electricity to operate a mobile phone, the hydroelectric dam, which stores energy in a reservoir as gravitational potential energy, and ice storage tanks, which store ice frozen by cheaper energy at night

A glider of mass 5.0 kg hits the end of a horizontal rail and bounces off with the same speed, in the opposite direction. The co
NeTakaya

To solve the exercise it is necessary to apply the concepts given in Newton's second law and the equations of motion description.

Let's start by defining acceleration based on speed and time, that is

a = \frac{v}{t}

On the other hand according to Newton's second law we have to

F=ma

where

m= Mass

a = Acceleration

Replacing the value of acceleration in this equation we have

F=m(\frac{v}{t})

Substituting with our values we have

100N=(5Kg)\frac{v}{0.2}

Re-arrange to find v

v=\frac{100*0.2}{5}

v = 2m/s

Therefore the speed of the glider is 2m/s
