$\\ \sf\Rrightarrow PE=mgh$

$\\ \sf\Rrightarrow m(10)(3)=120$

$\\ \sf\Rrightarrow 30m=120$

$\\ \sf\Rrightarrow m=4kg$

Mass=4kg

The distance from earth to mars ranges between 780,000,000 km and 380,000,000 km depending on the time of the year. The speed of

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

The minimum time, t = 21.11 m

Explanation:

Given,

The maximum distance between the Earth and Mars, d = 780,000,000 km

The speed of the light, c = 300,000 km/s

The distance and speed of the object is related using the formula,

v = d / t

t = d / v

The minimum time it takes for data transmission is when the distance between the Mars and the Earth is at minimum.

Therefore,

t = 380,000,000 km / 300,000 km/s

= 1266.67 s

= 21.11 minutes

Hence, the minimum time it takes for data transmitted by the Mars Surveyor to reach earth, t = 21.11 minutes

Find the circumference of each orbit in AU.

2xπx1=6.283185307

2xπx3=18.84955592

Divide them.

18.84955592/6.283185307=3

Which of the following wavelengths will produce standing waves on a string that is 3.5 m long?

denpristay [2]

In a string of length L, the wavelength of the n-th harmonic of the standing wave produced in the string is given by:

$\lambda=\frac{2}{n} L$

The length of the string in this problem is L=3.5 m, therefore the wavelength of the 1st harmonic of the standing wave is:

$\lambda=\frac{2}{1} \cdot 3.5 m=7.0 m$

The wavelength of the 2nd harmonic is:

$\lambda=\frac{2}{2} \cdot 3.5 m=3.5 m$

The wavelength of the 4th harmonic is:

$\lambda=\frac{2}{4} \cdot 3.5 m=1.75 m$

It is not possible to find any integer n such that $\lambda=5 m$ , therefore the correct options are A, B and D.

What is the main reason water from the ocean turns to water vapor , and then evaporates into the air

Hello! :)

C) heat from the sun

Why?

Because the sun’s heat makes the water turn to steam—or what we call “water vapor.”
