What makes astronomers think that impact rates for the Moon must have been higher earlier than 3.8 billion years ago?

Physics

dexar [7]3 years ago
3 0

There is strong evidence indicating that 3.8 billion years ago there was a higher impact rate. This deduction starts from comparing the number of craters in the lunar highlands with those of the Mary. If this comparison is made, it will be observed that there are 10 times more craters in the highlands than in a similar area of Mary. It should be borne in mind that through radioactive dating processes the samples indicate that there is a slightly greater antiquity in the highlands than those of Maria. This allows us to deduce that if the impact rates had been constant, the highlands would have been 10 times older. They would have to be formed 38 billion years ago, long before the universe itself began.

Therefore one of the most obvious reasons is there are ten times more craters on the older highlands than the Younger Maria.

A string of length 100 cm is held fixed at both ends and vibrates in a standing wave pattern. The wavelengths of the constituent
azamat

The wavelengths of the constituent travelling waves CANNOT be 400 cm.

The given parameters:

  • <em>Length of the string, L = 100 cm</em>

<em />

The wavelengths of the constituent travelling waves is calculated as follows;

L = \frac{n \lambda}{2} \\\\n\lambda = 2L\\\\\lambda = \frac{2L}{n}

for first mode: n = 1

\lambda = \frac{2\times 100 \ cm}{1} \\\\\lambda = 200 \ cm

for second mode: n = 2

\lambda = \frac{2L}{2} = L = 100 \ cm

For the third mode: n = 3

\lambda = \frac{2L}{3} \\\\\lambda = \frac{2 \times 100}{3} = 67 \ cm

For fourth mode: n = 4

\lambda = \frac{2L}{4} \\\\\lambda = \frac{2 \times 100}{4} = 50  \ cm

Thus, we can conclude that, the wavelengths of the constituent travelling waves CANNOT be 400 cm.

The complete question is below:

A string of length 100 cm is held fixed at both ends and vibrates in a standing wave pattern. The wavelengths of the constituent travelling waves CANNOT be:

A. 400 cm

B. 200 cm

C. 100 cm

D. 67 cm

E. 50 cm

How efficient is a pulley system if it enables you to lift a 600.0 Newton engine 0.600 meters if you exerted 35.7 Newtons of for
muminat

Answer:

η = 0.882 = 88.2 %

Explanation:

The efficiency of the pulley system can be given as follows:

\eta = \frac{W_{out}}{W_{In}}\\\\

where,

η = efficiency of pulley system = ?

W_out = Output Work = (600 N)(0.6 m) = 360 J

W_in = Input Work = (35.7 N)(11.43 m) = 408.051 J

Therefore,

\eta = \frac{360\ J}{408.051\ J}

<u>η = 0.882 = 88.2 %</u>

Charge g is distributed in a spherically symmetric ball of radius a. (a) Evaluate the average volume charge density p. (b) Now a
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

The volume of a sphere is:

V = 4/3 * π * a^3

The volume charge density would then be:

p = Q/V

p = 3*Q/(4 * π * a^3)

If the charge density depends on the radius:

p = f(r) = k * r

I integrate the charge density in spherical coordinates. The charge density integrated in the whole volume is equal to total charge.

Q = \int\limits^{2*\pi}_0\int\limits^\pi_0  \int\limits^r_0 {k * r} \, dr * r*d\theta* r*d\phi

Q = k *\int\limits^{2*\pi}_0\int\limits^\pi_0  \int\limits^r_0 {r^3} \, dr * d\theta* d\phi

Q = k *\int\limits^{2*\pi}_0\int\limits^\pi_0 {\frac{r^4}{4}} \, d\theta* d\phi

Q = k *\int\limits^{2*\pi}_0 {\frac{\pi r^4}{4}} \,  d\phi

Q = \frac{\pi^2 r^4}{2}}

Since p = k*r

Q = p*π^2*r^3 / 2

Then:

p(r) = 2*Q / (π^2*r^3)
