Answer:

An estimate for the time it will take for a spacecraft to travel from Earth to Mars is approximately 138.8 days

Explanation:

The distance between Earth and the Moon = 684,400 km

The distance between Earth and Mars = 220.58 × 10⁶ km

The distance between Earth and Pluto = 5.2241 × 10⁹ km

The ratio of the distance between Earth and Pluto and the distance between Earth and Mars = (5.2241 × 10⁹ km)/(220.58 × 10⁶ km) ≈ 23.683

It took 2006 to 2015 (9 years) to travel from Earth to Pluto, therefore, it can take approximately (9 years)/(23.683) ≈ 0.38 of a year which is ((9 years)/(23.683)) × 365.2422 ≈ 138.8 days for a spacecraft to travel from Earth to Mars

Answer:

A) At first, the water was a gas. Later, it was a liquid.

Explanation:

How do you solve this ?<br> Why is the ans C not B ?
melomori [17]

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram of the toolbox.  There are two forces:

Weight force mg pulling down,

and applied force F pulling up.

Sum of forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

F − mg = ma

45 N − 15 N = (3 kg) a

a = 10 m/s²

The answer should be B.  It's possible the answer key has a mistake.
