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

How much work done when .0080 C is moved through a potential difference of 1.5 V? Use W = qV. A.
grin007 [14]

Answer:

0.012 J

Explanation:

We are given:

q = 0.0080C

Potential difference =  1.5V

W=qV

Substituting the values into the equation:

W=0.0080*1.5= 0.012J
