Mars Global Surveyors (MGS) and later orbiters found the following minerals on the Martian surface;

Phyllosilicates

Carbonate
Sulfates
Iron oxide

The Mars Global Surveyors (MGS) and later orbiters suggest that the Martian crust contains a higher percentage of volatile elements such as Sulphur and chlorine than the Earth's crust does.

These scientists also conclude that the most abundant chemical elements in the Martian crust are those found in Igneous rock.

These elements include the following;

Silicon,
Oxygen,
Iron,
Magnesium,
Aluminum,
Calcium, and
Potassium.

They also, suggest that hydrogen is found in ice (water) while carbon is found in carbon dioxide and carbonates.

From the given options the minerals found in Martian surface include;

Phyllosilicates ------ these are sheet of silicate minerals

Carbonate
Sulfates
iron oxide

A ball is thrown straight up with an initial velocity of 6.4 m/s. It travels for 0.64 seconds, and has a change of position of 2

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

V = 0.9 m/s

Explanation:

The parameters given are:

Initial velocity U = 6.4 m/s

Time t = 0.64s

Height h = 2.05 m

To find the final velocity, let us use third equation of motion

V^2 = U^2 - 2gH

Since the ball is going upward, g will be negative

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

V^2 = 6.4^2 - 2 × 9.8 × 2.05

V^2 = 40.96 - 40.18

V^2 = 0.78

V = sqrt( 0.78)

V = 0.883 m/ s

V = 0.9 m/ s approximately

The logarithm of x, written log(x), tells you the power to which you would raise 10 to get x. So, if y=log(x), then x=10^y. It i

fomenos

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the rules and concepts related to logarithmic operations.

From the definition of logarithm we know that,

$Log_{10}(10) = 1$

In this way for the given example we have that a logarithm with base 10 expressed in the problem can be represented as,

$log_{10}(1,000,000)$

We can express this also as,

$log_{10}(10^6)$

By properties of the logarithms we know that the logarithm of a power of a number is equal to the product between the exponent of the power and the logarithm of the number.

So this can be expressed as

$6*log_{10}(10)$

Since the definition of the base logarithm 10 of 10 is equal to 1 then

$6*1=6$

The value of the given logarithm is equal to 6

A flare is launched from a life raft with an initial velocity of 192 ft/sec. How many seconds will it take for the flare to retu

DIA [1.3K]

We use the formula,

$h= ut- 16 t^2$

Here, h is the variable represents the height of the flare in feet when it returns to the sea so, h = 0 and u is the initial velocity of the flare, in feet per second and its value of 192 ft/sec.

Substituting these values in above equation, we get

$0 = 192 t - 16 t^2 \\\\ 16 t( 12 - t ) =0 \\\\ t = 12 s$ .

Here, t= 0 neglect because it is the time when the flare is launched.

Thus, flare return to the sea in 12 s.
