Mass of Mars is about 6.4 × 10²³ kg

\texttt{ }

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Let's recall the Gravitational Force formula:

\boxed {F = G\ \frac{m_1 m_2}{R^2}}

where:

F = Gravitational Force ( N )

G = Gravitational Constant ( = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg² )

m = mass of object ( kg )

R = distance between object ( m )

Let us now tackle the problem!

\texttt{ }

<u>Given:</u>

acceleration of gravity at the surface of Earth = g₁

acceleration of gravity at the surface of Mars = g₂ = 0.38 g₁

radius of Mars = R₂ = 3400 km

radius of Earth = R₁ = 6400 km

mass of Earth = M₁ = 6 × 10²⁴ kg

<u>Asked:</u>

mass of Mars = M₂ = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

g_2 = 0.38 g_1

G\frac{M_2}{(R_2)^2} = 0.38\ G \frac{M_1}{(R_1)^2}

M_2 = 0.38\ (\frac{R_2}{R_1})^2 M_1

M_2 = 0.38 \times (\frac{3400}{6400})^2 \times 6 \times 10^{24}

M_2 \approx 6.4 \times 10^{23} \texttt{ kg}

\texttt{ }

<h3>Conclusion :</h3>

Mass of Mars is about 6.4 × 10²³ kg

The equation that is applicable is as follows:
F = G * M * m ÷ r^2 <span>F = G * M * m ÷ r^2 </span>
Weight = m * g 
Weight = F m * g = G * M * m ÷ r^2 g = G * M ÷ r^2 
Now you can determine the mass of the planet. For mars, r = 3,400,000 = 3.4 * 10^6 meters 
0.38 = 6.67 * 10^-11 * M ÷ (3.4 * 10^6)^2 0.38 = 6.67 * 10^-11 * M ÷ 1.156 * 10^13 
3.8 = 6.67 * 10^-11 * M ÷ (3.4 * 10^6)^2 0.38 = 6.67 * 10^-11 * M ÷ 1.156 * 10^13 Multiply both sides by 1.156 * 10^13 
1.156 * 10^13 * 0.38 = 6.67 * 10^-11 * M Divide both sides by 6.67 * 10^-11 
1.156 * 10^13 * 0.38 ÷ 6.67 * 10^-11 = M The answer is approximately 6.586 * 10^22 kg The actual mass of Mars is 6.42 * 10^23 kg. I think the acceleration of gravity on Mars is 3.8 m/s^2 
1.156 * 10^13 * 3.8 ÷ 6.67 * 10^-11 = M The answer is approximately 6.586 * 10^23 kg

Which statement describes a digital signal?
hoa [83]

Answer:

"It is made of numbers" describes the digital signal.

Explanation:

The digital signal are the electrical signal which is translated into the pattern of bits. The digital signal are always discrete value in every sampling point. The conversion of the programming into the stream or the binary sequence like 0s and 1s. The digital signals never gets weaken over distance but the analog signal gets weakened or impair at distance. The digital signals are consists of one or two value, Timing graph are square waves.

olga55 [171]

Answer:

A). A few of the positive particles aimed at a gold foil seemed to bounce back off of the thin metallic foil.

Explanation:

Scientists decided to change the model of the atom when they discovered new evidence that showed 'few of the positive particles aimed at a gold foil seemed to bounce back off of the thin metallic foil.' On this ground, <u>Rutherford concluded that atom is mostly made up of empty space and thus, he proposed a nucleus model of atom in which the atom comprises of the tiny and positively charged nucleus is surrounded by electrons with a negative charge</u>. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.
