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

The most recent evidence supporting the theory of plate tectonics would include A) GPS monitoring of plate speeds and movements.
Whitepunk [10]

A) GPS monitoring of plate speeds and movements.

Explanation:

The most recent evidence supporting the theory of plate tectonics would be GPS monitoring of plate speeds and movements.

A GPS is a Global Positioning System made up of series of components.

  • Plate tectonics theory is the movement of the earth's lithosphere relative to one another.
  • The recent advances uses a GPS system to monitor real-time movement of the plates.
  • The GPS system is made up of a system of satellite in space that communicates real-times locations to sensors on the earth surface.
  • From the sensors, observatory stations can know and duly observe how plates are moving.

yuradex [85]

1.  Changing from solid to a liquid is called melting / fusion and happen

at the melting/ fusion point.

Reason: melting point is a temperature at which a solid melt and converts into liquid by providing heat.

2. Changing from liquid to gas is called evaporation/boiling and happens at the evaporation/boiling point.

Reason. Evaporation is a process in which molecules from surface of liquid convert into gas.

3.   Changing from a gas to a liquid  is called condensation and happens at the condensation point.

Reason : In condensation process  gas particles converts into liquid droplets.

4. Changing from liquid to a solid is called freezing and happens at the freezing point.

Reason : Freezing is a process that convert liquid into soilid state by decreasing temperature of that specific liquid,

Explain Describe how a physical property,
nydimaria [60]

A change in the physical properties like mass or texture will not cause any change in the substance because the composition of the substance will retain the same.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A change of the physical properties will affect only the size, shape and structure of the compound, it won't be affecting the composition of the compound. Since any kind of change in the physical properties of the compound will only affect the outermost structure of the compound or the size of the compound.

It will not change the bond structure and neither it will break any bonds, thus the substance will be as it is. So, there will be no change in the substance on changing the physical properties like mass or texture, as the composition and bonding in the substance will retain the same.
