How does the atmospheric temperature and size of inner planets compare with those of outer planets?
amid [387]
The inner planets are rocky and have diameters of less than 13,000 kilometers. The outer planets include Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The smaller, inner planets include Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. Inner planet's atmosphere is thin. (Mercury has no atmosphere). Outer Planets: Outer planets' atmosphere is very thick. The four inner planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, are warmer than the outer gas giants. However, the temperature of the planets does not follow a linear path from the Sun.

Natalie accelerate her skateboard along a straight path from 0 m/s to 4.0 m/s in 2.5 s. find her average acceleration
Vikentia [17]
Acceleration=(speed end - speed start)/ time
Data:
speed end=4 m/s
speed start=0 m/s
time=2.5 s

acceleration=(4 m/s - 0 m/s)/2.5 s=1.6 m/s²

Answer: the acceleration would be 1.6 m/s²

A mass of 3.6 kg oscillate on a horizontal spring with a spring constant of 160 N/m.
Darya [45]

Answer:

48.7 J

Explanation:

For a mass-spring system, there is a continuous conversion of energy between elastic potential energy and kinetic energy.

In particular:

- The elastic potential energy is maximum when the system is at its maximum displacement

- The kinetic energy is maximum when the system passes through the equilibrium position

Therefore, the maximum kinetic energy of the system is given by:

KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m is the mass

v is the speed at equilibrium position

In this problem:

m = 3.6 kg

v = 5.2 m/s

Therefore, the maximum kinetic energy is:

KE=\frac{1}{2}(3.6)(5.2)^2=48.7 J

A red cross helicopter takes off from headquarters and flies 120 km at 70 degrees south of west. There it drops off some relief
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

130 km at 35.38 degrees north of east

Explanation:

Suppose the HQ is at the origin (x = 0, y = 0)

So the coordinates of the helicopter after the 1st flight is

x_1 = -120cos70^o = -41.04 km

y_1 = -120sin70^o = -112.763 km

After the 2nd flight its coordinate would be:

x_2 = x_1 - 75sin60^o = -41.04 - 64.95 = -106km

y_2 = y_1 + 75cos60^o = -112.763 + 37.5 = -75.263 km

So in order to fly back to its HQ it must fly a distance and direction of

s = \sqrt{y_2^2 + x_2^2} = \sqrt{75.263^2 + 106^2} = \sqrt{5664.519169 + 11236} = \sqrt{16900.519169} = 130 km

tan\theta = \frac{y_2}{x_2} = \frac{75.263}{106} = 0.71

\theta = tan^{-1}0.71 = 0.62 rad \approx 35.38^o north of east
