Answer:

Due to its larger size

Explanation:

This is due to those planets being much larger than Earth. The larger a planet is, the more gravity that planet has, since gravity is mainly calculated based on the mass and radius of the planet. Also since the pressure deep inside of the planet depends mainly on the gravity of that planet on the surface, this is calculated as the square of the planet's surface gravity. Ultimately, the bigger the planet is the higher the pressure deep inside the planet will be.

BartSMP [9]

<u>Answer:</u>

The height of ramp = 124.694 m

<u>Explanation:</u>

Using second equation of motion,

$s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

From the question,

u = 31 m/s; s = 156.3 m, a=0

substituting values

$156.3 = 31\times t + 0$

t = $\frac{156.3}{31 }$

= 5.042 s

Similary, for the case of landing

t = 5.042 s; initial velocity, u =0

acceleration = acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.81 $m/s^2$

Substituting in $h = ut + \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$h = 0 + \frac{1}{2} \times 9.81 \times (5.042)^2$

h = 124.694 m

So height of ramp = 124.694 m

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

Most adverse health effects of radiation exposure may be grouped in two general categories:

deterministic effects (harmful tissue reactions) due in large part to the killing/ malfunction of cells following high doses; and

stochastic effects, i.e., cancer and heritable effects involving either cancer development in exposed individuals owing to mutation of somatic cells or heritable disease in their offspring owing to mutation of reproductive (germ)
