Answer:

6.27*10^{23}kg

Explanation:

assume

M= mass of Mars

m=mass of phobos

r=orbital radius

T=period

we can apply F=ma to this orbital motion (considering the cricular motion laws)

where,

F=\frac{GMm}{r^{2} }  and a=rω^2

where ω=\frac{2\pi }{T} and G is the universal gravitational constant.

G = 6.67 x 10-11 N m2 / kg2

F=ma\\\frac{GMm}{r^{2} }=mr(\frac{2\pi }{T} )^{2}\\  M=\frac{r^{3}}{G}  (\frac{2\pi }{T} )^{2}\\M=\frac{(9.4*10x^{6} )^{3}*(2\pi )^{2} }{(2.8*10^{4}) ^{2} *6.67*10^{-11} } \\M=6.27*10^{23}kg

What are loops of gas on sun that link different parts of sunspot regions together?
love history [14]
So we want to know what are loops of gas on the Sun that link different parts of sunspot regions together. A large and bright gaseous feature that extends from the surface of the Sun that links different parts of sunspot regions together is called Prominence. They are on the Suns surface in the photosphere and they extend outwards into the Corona.

Breathing on a cold window can cause it to fog up. which change of state causes this
Dominik [7]
When you breathe on a cold window and it fogs up, that change of state is called: Condensation.

Condensation is: The process in which molecules of a gas slow down, come together, and form a liquid water that collects as droplets on a cold surface when humid air is in contact with it.

I know this because I learned it in science class in school.

Hope I helped!

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

x=4.06m

Explanation:

A body that moves with constant acceleration means that it moves in "a uniformly accelerated movement", which means that if the velocity is plotted with respect to time we will find a line and its slope will be the value of the acceleration, it determines how much it changes the speed with respect to time.

When performing a mathematical demonstration, it is found that the equations that define this movement are as follows.

Vf=Vo+a.t  (1)\\\\

{Vf^{2}-Vo^2}/{2.a} =X(2)\\\\

X=Xo+ VoT+0.5at^{2}    (3)\\

Where

Vf = final speed

Vo = Initial speed

T = time

A = acceleration

X = displacement

In conclusion to solve any problem related to a body that moves with constant acceleration we use the 3 above equations and use algebra to solve

for this problem

Vf=7.6m/s

t=1.07

Vo=0

we can use the ecuation number one to find the acceleration

a=(Vf-Vo)/t

a=(7.6-0)/1.07=7.1m/s^2

then we can use the ecuation number 2 to find the distance

{Vf^{2}-Vo^2}/{2.a} =X

(7.6^2-0^2)/(2x7.1)=4.06m
