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

A grinding wheel with a moment of inertia of 2 kg-m2 has a 2.50 N-m torque applied to it. What is its final kinetic energy 10 se
grigory [225]
First you do 2.5 n-m / 2 kg-m2
This equals 1.25 rad/s^2

Then multiply rad/s^2 by 10 because of the amount of seconds
This equals 12.5 rad/s^2

Then do this following equation : (1/2)Iwf^2
Do (0.5) 12.5 * 12.5 * 2
This equals 156.25 J (meaning that the answer is C: 156 J)

What are aerial plants
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:  Aerial plants is plants that lives in air or wind the wind serves as the water of the plants. Most aerial plants are found in tropical and equatorial regions of the world. In evergreen rain forests, the foliage is so thick that some plants have evolved aerial roots to allow them to absorb more sunlight. The development of aerial roots is

thus an evolutionary process.Aerial roots are often thick and spread around the parent tree. The Banyan tree can have several aerial roots as it gets older.
