Answer:

Work done against gravity in lifting an object becomes potential energy of the object-Earth system. The change in gravitational potential energy, ΔPEg, is ΔPEg = mgh, with h being the increase in height and g the acceleration due to gravity.

Explain the runaway refrigerator effect and the role it may have played in the evolution of Mars.
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

The runway refrigerator effect and the role it would have played in the evolution of Mars can be summarized as follows

The weak gravity of Mars does not allow it have a gaseous atmosphere over it. The thin atmosphere would have lead to lower temperature on mars.In in turn would have lead to freezing of gases thus lowering the temperature further. The thinner atmosphere and colder temperature would lead to loss of most water in the planet.

A comet is in an elliptical orbit around the Sun. Its closest approach to the Sun is a distance of 4.6 multiply 1010 m (inside t
Doss [256]

We will apply the concepts related to energy conservation to develop this problem. In this way we will consider the distances and the given speed to calculate the final speed on the path from the sun. Assuming that the values exposed when saying 'multiply' is scientific notation we have the following,

d_1 = 4.6*10^{10}m

v_i = 9.3*10^4m/s \rightarrow \text{Initial velocity comet}

d_2 = 6*10^{12}m

The difference of the initial and final energy will be equivalent to the work done in the system, therefore

E_f = E_i +W

K_f +U_f = K_i +U_i + 0

\frac{1}{2} mv_f^2+\frac{-GMm}{d_2} = \frac{1}{2} mv_i^2+\frac{-GMm}{d_1}

Here,

m = Mass

v_f = Final velocity

G = Gravitational Universal Constant

M = Mass of the Sun

m = Mass of the comet

v_i = Initial Velocity

Rearranging to find the final velocity,

v_f = \sqrt{v_i^2+2GM(\frac{1}{d_2}-\frac{1}{d_1})}

Replacing with our values we have finally,

v_f = \sqrt{(9.3*10^4)+2(6.7*10^{-11})(1.98*10^{30})(\frac{1}{6*10^{12}}-\frac{1}{4.6*10^{10}})}

v_f = 75653.9m/s

Therefore the speed is 75653m/s

Simple curiosity is not a legitimate reason to complete a scientific investigation
guapka [62]
Why not ? ? ?
If you can get the money, the laboratory to use, the experimental
equipment, and the people you need to work on it with you, then
curiosity is a fine, honorable, and perfectly good reason to go ahead,
do what you gotta do, follow your heart, satisfy your curiosity, and learn
new stuff. 
Neither the Large Hadron Collider, nor the Mars Rover, nor the Hubble
Space Telescope, nor the New Horizons probe, was built to cure cancer.
