A human-operated spaceship reaches the moon in 3 days. The moon is about 386,400 km from Earth. Mars, our closest planetary neig

hbor, is, at its closest, about 140 times farther away from us than the moon if Mars stays in place. Assuming a very simple model of the solar system, about how long would it take that same spaceship to reach Mars?(1 point) about 22.5 years about 1 year about 2.5 years about 7.5 years

Answer:

About 1 year.

Explanation:

Since the spacecraft travels the 386,400 kilometers of distance between the Earth and the Moon in 3 days, and the planet Mars is 140 times further from the Earth than the Moon, to obtain the time it will take for the same spacecraft to reach Mars must perform the following calculation:

140 x 3 = 420 days

If a year has 365 days, the travel time that said spacecraft would take to reach Mars would be just under 1 year and 2 months.

Cindy saw her mother heating a wet pan on the stove. As the pan got hotter, the water on the outside began to dry. Why?
dlinn [17]

Answer:

As the temperature of materials increase, the objects find a phenomenon called change of phase.

This means that if you give enough heat to a liquid, this can change of state from liquid state to gas state (the water evaporates)

So the water in the pan reaches the evaporation temperature (around 100°C) and it starts to evaporate, this is why the water on the outside begins to "dry"

A stone is dropped into a river from a bridge at a height h above the water. Another stone is thrown vertically down at a time t
Mumz [18]

Answer:

v_{y_0} = \frac{\frac{g}{2}t(t - 2\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}})}{\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} - t}

Explanation:

We will apply the equations of kinematics to both stones separately.

First stone:

Let us denote the time spent after the second stone is thrown as 'T'.

y - y_0 = v_{y_0}(t+T) + \frac{1}{2}a(t+T)^2\\0 - h = 0 + \frac{1}{2}(-g)(t+T)^2\\(t+T)^2 = \frac{2h}{g}\\T = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}-t

Second stone:

y - y_0 = v_{y_0}T + \frac{1}{2}aT^2\\0 - h = v_{y_0}T -\frac{1}{2}gT^2\\-h = v_{y_0}(\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} - t) - \frac{g}{2}(\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} - t)^2\\-h = v_{y_0}(\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} - t) - \frac{g}{2}(\frac{2h}{g} + t^2 - 2t\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}})\\-h = v_{y_0}\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} - v_{y_0}t - h -\frac{g}{2}t^2 + gt\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}\\v_{y_0}(\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} - t) = \frac{g}{2}t^2 - gt\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}\\v_{y_0} = \frac{\frac{g}{2}t(t - 2\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}})}{\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} - t}

Guillaume puts a bottle of soft drink in a refrigerator and leaves it there until its temperature has dropped 15.1 K.
Zarrin [17]

Answer: (a) The magnitude of its temperature change in degrees Celsius is 15.1^{o}C.

(b) The magnitude of the temperature change (change in T = 15.1 K) in degrees Fahrenheit is 27.2^{o}F.

Explanation:

(a)  Expression for change in temperature is as follows.

        |\Delta T| = |x - y|K

                         = 15.1 K

                    = |(x - 273.15) - (y - 273.15)|^{o}C

                    = |x - y|^{o}C

                    = 15.1^{o}C

Therefore, the magnitude of its temperature change in degrees Celsius is 15.1^{o}C.

(b)  Change in temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit is as follows.

           F = 1.8C + 32

          C = \frac{F - 32}{1.8}

Since,   K = C + 273

or,    \Delta K = \Delta C = \frac{\Delta F}{1.8}

         \Delta F = 1.8 \Delta K

                      = 1.8 (15.1)

                      = 27.18^{o}F

or,                  = 27.2^{o}F

Thus, we can conclude that the magnitude of the temperature change (change in T = 15.1 K) in degrees Fahrenheit is 27.2^{o}F.
