Answer:

Explanation:

a = (vf - vi) / t

a = (50 - 90) / 10.0

a = -4 km/h/s(1000 m/km / 3600 s/h)

a = - 1.11 m/s²

The Mars Curiosity rover was required to land on the surface of Mars with a velocity of 1 m/s. Given the mass of the landing veh

Aliun [14]

Answer:

The value is $A = 39315 \ m^2$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The velocity which the rover is suppose to land with is $v = 1 \ m/s$

The mass of the rover and the parachute is $m = 2270 \ kg$

The drag coefficient is $C__{D}} = 0.5$

The atmospheric density of Earth is $\rho = 1.2 \ kg/m^3$

The acceleration due to gravity in Mars is $g_m = 3.689 \ m/s^2$

Generally the Mars atmosphere density is mathematically represented as

$\rho_m = 0.71 * \rho$

=> $\rho_m = 0.71 * 1.2$

=> $\rho_m = 0.852 \ kg/m^3$

Generally the drag force on the rover and the parachute is mathematically represented as

$F__{D}} = m * g_{m}$

=> $F__{D}} = 2270 * 3.689$

=> $F__{D}} = 8374 \ N$

Gnerally this drag force is mathematically represented as

$F__{D}} = C__{D}} * A * \frac{\rho_m * v^2 }{2}$

Here A is the frontal area

So

$A = \frac{2 * F__D }{ C__D} * \rho_m * v^2 }$

=> $A = \frac{2 * 8374 }{ 0.5 * 0.852 * 1 ^2 }$

=> $A = 39315 \ m^2$

What is a heterogeneous mixture and what is a homogeneous mixture?

yuradex [85]

A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture that contains two or more distinct substances that you can see. You can see the different part if a heterogeneous mixture. An example of this is a salad. You can see all of the parts. A homogeneous mixture is a mixture that is uniform and you cannot see the different parts. It is still a mixture though. An example of that would be salt water. The water and salt are not chemically combined but you cannot see the salt AND water. It is just one solution.
