The temperature and pressure at the surface of Mars during a Martian spring day were determined to be -41 oC and 900 Pa, respect

ively. (a) Determine the density of the Martian atmosphere for these conditions if the gas constant for the Martian atmosphere is assumed to be equivalent to that of carbon dioxide. (b) Compare the answer from part (a) with the density of the earth’s atmosphere during a spring day when the temperature is 18 oC and the pressure 101.6 kPa (abs).

Answer:

Part a)

\rho = 0.0205 kg/m^3

Part b)

\rho = 1.22 kg/m^3

So density of atmosphere at Martian Surface is very less than the density at Earth.

Explanation:

Part a)

As per ideal gas equation we know that

PM = \rho RT

here we know that Martian atmosphere is equivalent to that of carbon

so we will have

P = 900 Pa

T = 273 - 41 = 232 K

now we will have

(900)(0.044) = \rho (8.31)(232)

\rho = 0.0205 kg/m^3

Part b)

Now for the earth surface the density of air is given for

P = 101.6 kPa

T = 18 ^oC

so we will have

PM = \rho RT

(101.6\times 10^3)(0.029) = \rho(8.31)(273 + 18)

\rho = 1.22 kg/m^3

So density of atmosphere at Martian Surface is very less than the density at Earth.

Sound waves, water waves, and light waves are all alike in that they all
Paha777 [63]
Sound and water waves are longitudinal waves, they require a medium to travel through and occilate particles 90 degrees to the wave motion
Light is a transverse wave. It doesnt require a medium to travel through.
All three reflect, refract and diffract


Light is difficult to think of because it acts in ways which waves cannot explain in some cirumstances. It acts like a particle (called photons) in some conditions, but acts like a normal sound or water wave does in others. Try not to get too caught up in light being a wave or a particle because even physists dont know how to explain it yet.

Volcanologists and seismologist are specialzed in what
antiseptic1488 [7]

The answer is:

They are specialized in geology and geophysics

1) Volcanologists are scientific researchers who study the properties of volcanoes and develop the science of predicting volcanic eruptions accurately.

- Volcanoes are the results of fissures in the earth's crust, from which magma, gases, rocks, and ashes can erupt.  


-Volcanic eruptions and their impact on the atmosphere are investigated by specialist geologists known as volcanologists.


A) Volcanologists are scientists who use a variety of sophisticated equipment to measure and analyze volcanic activity, lava, rock, ashes and gases as well as earthquakes caused by eruptions.


B) Also, they measure the magnitude and intensity of explosions, placing them on a scale from 1 to 8 [volcanic explosivity index].  


C)Volcanologists monitor both active and dormant volcanoes to try to predict eruptions and minimize adverse effects on people and their environment.


D)Also, they spend a lot of time collecting and analyzing samples of debris, rocks and other products from extinct volcanoes to gain a better understanding of the processes behind the volcanic activity and the impact former eruptions had in shaping the climate.


2) Seismologists are Earth scientists, specialized in geophysics, who study the genesis and the propagation of seismic waves in geological materials.


-Their research aims at interpreting the geological composition and structures of the Earth. In the case of earthquakes, seismologists evaluate the potential dangers and seek to minimize their impact through the improvement of construction standards.
