The atmosphere of Mercury and Mars are very thin. What effect does the thin atmosphere have on the temperature on the surface of

these planets?
Physics
1 answer:
KengaRu [80]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Very hot during the day and very cold at night.

Explanation:

Due to the thin atmosphere, they have very hot climate during the day time and very cold climate at night. This happens because they contain very low amounts of greenhouse gases. These gases retain the heat at night. The atmosphere also prevents excessive light and UV rays from entering. The thin  atmosphere leads to many asteroids and comets hitting the surface of the planet. On earth, these asteroids usually, burn up in the mesosphere layer of the atmosphere. These asteroid collisions cause massive fires. This in turn,  causes the temperature to increase during the day. During the night time, massive fires cannot burn due to the low temperature because of the lack of greenhouse gases.

A rock of mass m is thrown straight up into the air with initial speed |v0 | and initial position y = 0 and it rises up to a max
REY [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Case 1:

mass = m

initial velocity = vo

final velocity = 0

height = y

Use third equation of motion

v² = u² - 2as

0 = vo² - 2 g y

y = vo² / 2g       ... (1)

Case 2:

mass = 2m

initial velocity = 2vo

final velocity = 0

height = y '

Use third equation of motion

v² = u² - 2as

0 = 4vo² - 2 g y'

y ' = 4vo² / 2g

y' = 4 y

Thus, the second rock reaches the 4 times the distance traveled by the first rock.

La masa de un camión es de
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

45000 kg and 45 tons  

Explanation:

The expression in kilograms and tons is shown below;

As we know that

1 gr is 0.001 kg

So, 45000000 = 45,000 kg

And,

1 kg = 0.001 tons  

So, 45000 kg = 45 tons    

Therefore the same would be considered

Lagrangian mechanics. Determine the equations of motion for a particle of mass m constrained to move on the surface of a cone in
maria [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

Hi!

In order to obtain the Lagrangian of the system we must first write the Kinetic and Potential Energies. Lets orient our axes such that the axis of the cone coincide with the z axis. In cilindrical coordinates we have

v^{2} = \frac{dr}{dt}^{2}  +r^{2} \frac{d\theta }{dt} ^{2} +\frac{dz}{dt} ^{2} - (1)

But, since the particle is constrained to move on the surface of the cilinder, we have the following relation between r and z:

\frac{r}{z}=tan(45)

or:

z = r cot(45) - (2)

and:

\frac{dz}{dt} = \frac{dr}{dt} cot(45)

replacing (2) in (1) we obtain:

v^{2} = \frac{dr}{dt}^{2} (1+cot(45))+r^{2}\frac{d\theta }{dt} ^{2}  - (3)

Now the kinetic energy is given as:

T = \frac{1}{2}m(\frac{dr}{dt}^{2} (1+cot(45))+r^{2}\frac{d\theta }{dt} ^{2}) - (4)

And the potential energy is given by:

V = -mgz = -mgr cot(45)

So the Langrangian is given by:

L = T - V= \frac{1}{2}m(\frac{dr}{dt}^{2}(1+cot(45)+r^{2})\frac{d\theta }{dt} ^{2}) + mgr cot(45)

And the equations of motion are:

For θ

\frac{d}{dt} (mr\frac{d\theta}{dt}) = 0-->mr{d\theta}{dt}=c

For r

\frac{d}{dt}(m\frac{dr}{dt}(1+cot(45) )= mgcot(45)+mr\frac{d\theta}{dt} ^{2}\\m\frac{d^{2} r}{dt^{2} }(1+cot(45)= mgcot(45)+mr\frac{d\theta}{dt} ^{2}

Obtained from the Euler-Langrange equations

Here the conserved quantity is given by the first equation of motion, namely:

mr\frac{d\theta}{dt}=c

Which is the magnitude of the angular momentum
