julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

1. The planet doesn't have a thick enough atmosphere.

2. There have been multiple impacts on the planet.

Explanation:

As the planet is very close to the star, there is high possibility that it will not have an atmosphere. Just like Mercury doesn't have one. Presence of a very large crater with basin indicates that in the past a huge body had hit the planet and thus creating the crater with basin. Also, it must be very old.

Second observation that is given is the presence of smaller craters in the basin. This indicates impact craters created by smaller objects. If the planet had an atmosphere, these smaller objects would not be able to penetrate and reach the surface. Thus presence of these smaller crater indicate towards the planet not having any atmosphere.

What type of front involves fast moving thunderstorms and severe weather?

Lapatulllka [165]

The answer is "Cold Front".

A cold front is characterized as the change zone where a cool air mass is supplanting a hotter air mass. Cold fronts for the most part move from northwest to southeast. The air behind a cold front is recognizably colder and drier than the air in front of it.

Indigenous people sometimes cooked in watertight baskets by placing enough hot rocks into the water to bring it to a boil. What

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

The rock has a mass of 4.02 kg

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of the rock = TO BE DETERMINED

Temperature of the rock = 500 °C

Mass of the water =4.24 kg

⇒ loses 0.044kg as vapor

Initial temperature of the water = 29°C

Final temperature = 100°C

Specific heat of rock = 0.20 kcal/kg °C

Specific heat of water = 1kcal/kg°C

Latent heat of vaporization = 539 kcal/kg

Step 2: formules

Qlost,rock + Qgained,water = 0

Qtotal,water = Qwater +Qvapor

Step 3: Calculate Qvapor

Qvapor = mass of vapor * Latent heat of vapor

Qvapor = 0.044kg * 539 kcal/kg = 23.716 kcal

Step 4: Calculate Qwater

Qwater = mass of water * specific heat * Δtemperature

Qwater = 4.196 kg * 1kcal/kg°C *( 100-29)

Qwater = 297.916 kcal

Step 5: Calculate Qwater,total

Qwater,total = Qwater + Qvapor

Qwater,total = 23.716 kcal + 297.916 = 321.632 kcal

Step 6: Calculate Qrock

Qrock = mass of rock * specific heat rock * Δtemperature

Qrock = mass of rock * 0.20 kcal/kg°C * (100-500)

Qrock = mass of rock * -80 kcal/kg

Step 7: Calculate mass of rock

Qlost,rock + Qgained,water = 0

Qlost,rock = -Qgained,water

mass of rock * -80 kcal/kg = -321.632 kcal

mass of rock = 4.02 kg

The rock has a mass of 4.02 kg
