Answer: d. the low air pressure lowers the boiling point

Explanation:

Note that there cannot be less than 6.1 millibars of liquid water. This fact is important because the Martian surface atmospheric pressure hovers just below that value. Any water that could form from melting water on a warm afternoon will easily vanish into the desiccated Martian atmosphere.

What is the static friction force and kinetic friction for the image

jasenka [17]

According to the plot, static friction force has a maximum magnitude of around 3.0 N, and kinetic friction has a magnitude of about 1.5 N.

The plot appears to be telling you the force required to get the yellow block moving along the table. If one applies less than 3.0 N of force, the block remains motionless. But as soon as it starts to slide, one need only apply 1.5 N of force to keep it moving (presumably at a constant speed).

An oscillator consists of a block of mass 0.373 kg connected to a spring. When set into oscillation with amplitude 33 cm, the os

aniked [119]

Answer:

(a) T = 0.412s

(b) f = 2.42Hz

(d) k = 86.75N/m

(e) vmax = 5.03 m/s

Explanation:

Given information:

m: mass of the block = 0.373kg

A: amplitude of oscillation = 22cm = 0.22m

T: period of oscillation = 0.412s

(a) The period is the time of one complete oscillation = 0.412s

The period is 0.412s

(b) The frequency is calculated by using the following formula:

$f=\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{0.412s}=2.42Hz$

The frequency is 2.42 Hz

(c) The angular frequency is:

$\omega=2\pi f=2\pi (2.42Hz)=15.25\frac{rad}{s}$

The angular frequency is 15.25 rad/s

(d) The spring constant is calculated by solving the following equation for k:

$\omega=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}\\\\k=m\omega^2=(0.373kg)(15.25rad/s)^2=86.75\frac{N}{m}$

The spring constant is 86.75N/m

(e) The maximum speed is:

$v_{max}=\omega A=(15.25rad/s)(0.33m)=5.03\frac{m}{s}$

(f) The maximum force applied by the spring if for the maximum elongation, that is, the amplitude:

$F=kA=(86.75N/m)(0.2m)=17.35N$

The maximum force that the spring exerts on the block is 17.35N

Water falls off a cliff of height 20m at a rate of 50kg per second

docker41 [41]

Answer:

M = 50 kg / sec * 60 sec = 3000 kg water that falls

PE = M g h initial potential energy of water

PE = 3000 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 20 m = 588,000 joules of energy lost
