Mars had an orbital period of 1.88 years. In two or more complete sentences,explain how to calculate the average distance from m
Vanyuwa [196]
This is an interesting problem involving astronomy, in fact, simple physics.
Let r=distance of sun to mars, in metres

<span>Mars had an orbital period of 1.88 years.
=>
tangential velocity, v, of the planet, in m/s is
v=\frac{2\pi{r}}{T}
</span>=\frac{2\pi{r}}{1.88*365.25*86400} m/s, accounting for leap years
=3.371*10^{-8}\pi{r}   m/s

The centripetal force, Fc, generated is
Fc=\frac{mv^2}{r}   
        where m=mass of mars = 6.39*10^(24) kg
=\frac{mv^2}{r}
=\frac{6.39*10^{24}v^2}{r}
=7.26168*10^9\pi^2r

The gravitation pull from the sun, Fg, is given by
Fg=\frac{GMm}{r^2}
    where G=grav. const., =6.67408*10^(-11) m^3<span> kg^(</span>-1)<span> s^(</span>-2)
              M=mass of sun=1.989*10^(30) kg
=\frac{6.67408*10^{-11}1.989*10^{30}6.39*10^{24}}{r^2}
=\frac{8.4826*10^44}{r^2}

Since the radial distance is in equilibrium, the average distance, r can be found by equation Fc=Fg and solving for r:
Fc=Fg
=>
7.26168*10^9\pi^2r=\frac{8.4826*10^44}{r^2}
Solving for the real root:
r^3=\frac{8.48256*10^44}{7.26168*10^9*%pi^2}
=\frac{1.1681263*10^{35}}{\pi^2}
=2.279*10^11 m

What flower mechanism would not help prevent pollination by a foreign plant species?
RoseWind [281]
The flower mechanism that would not help them preventing pollination by a specie such as a foreign plant would be that the flowers of different species are then the same color and would attract the same pollinators.Hope this would be of help.

What are the major effects of poverty, chronic stress, and susceptibility to disease in children?
Softa [21]
Poverty, chronic stress and susceptibility in children result in SIGNINFICANT HARDSHIP, POOR ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE AND CADRDIOVASCULAR DISEASES.
Poverty, chronic stress and diseases usually lead to psychological disorder in children. Most of the time, these disorders are neglected because children do not exhibit symptoms like that are exactly like those of adults going through similar conditions. Psychological disorders in children ultimately result in poor academic performance and other adverse effects.<span />
