Answer:

B. The mass of Mars is less than the mass of Earth.

Explanation:

Mass of an object is the constant anywhere in the universe.

The weight of an object is equal to the gravitational force acting on it.

Weight is given by

W=\dfrac{GMm}{R^2}\\\Rightarrow W=\dfrac{GM}{R^2}m\\\Rightarrow W=mg

where

G = Gravitational constant

M = Mass of Planet

R = Radius of planet

m = Mass of object

g = Acceleration due to gravity

So weight of an object depends on the acceleration due to gravity on that planet. The acceleration due to gravity depends on the mass and radius of the planet.

The weight of the object is less on Mars because mars has less mass compared to Earth.

Light rays from stars bend toward smaller angles as they enter Earth's atmosphere. a. Explain why this happens using Snell's law
Grace [21]

Answer:

Following are the answer to this question:

Explanation:

In option (a):

  • The principle of Snells informs us that as light travels from the less dense medium to a denser layer, like water to air or a thinner layer of the air to the thicker ones, it bent to usual — an abstract feature that would be on the surface of all objects. Mostly, on the contrary, glow shifts from a denser with a less dense medium. This angle between both the usual and the light conditions rays is referred to as the refractive angle.  
  • Throughout in scenario, the light from its stars in the upper orbit, the surface area of both the Earth tends to increase because as light flows from the outer atmosphere towards the Earth, it defined above, to a lesser angle.

In option (b):

  • Rays of light, that go directly down wouldn't bend, whilst also sun source which joins the upper orbit was reflected light from either a thicker distance and flex to the usual, following roughly the direction of the curve of the earth.  
  • Throughout the zenith specific position earlier in this thread, astronomical bodies appear throughout the right position while those close to a horizon seem to have been brightest than any of those close to the sky, and please find the attachment of the diagram.

Please help on this one?
Lelu [443]

The easiest way to answer this question is just to get the answer first. The answer is A with the added comment that no chemical reaction has taken place.

Layered means that the chemicals are not soluble in one another. B is not the answer.

C is eliminated by what what was said about A.

D a solution is not a pure substance (singular) by itself. There are at least 2 chemicals together.

Can you answer the b. thanks
levacccp [35]

Answer:

current going into a junction in a circuit is EQUAL TO the current comming out of the junction.

Explanation:

Krichhoff's Current Law

Kirchhoff's current law (1st Law) states that current flowing into a node (or a junction) must be equal to current flowing out of it.
