Mars.

Water exists as small amounts of ice on Mars and as water vapor. It is suspected that Mars used to have flowing water on it, but that there is none left now.

The orbital radius of the Earth (from Earth to Sun) is 1.496 x 10^11 m.

mrs_skeptik [129]

Explanation:

The orbital radius of the Earth is $r_1=1.496\times 10^{11}\ m$

The orbital radius of the Mercury is $r_2=5.79 \times 10^{10}\ m$

The orbital radius of the Pluto is $r_3=5.91 \times 10^{12}\ m$

We need to find the time required for light to travel from the Sun to each of the three planets.

(a) For Sun -Earth,

Kepler's third law :

$T_1^2=\dfrac{4\pi ^2}{GM}r_1^3$

M is mass of sun, $M=1.989\times 10^{30}\ kg$

So,

$T_1^2=\dfrac{4\pi ^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}}\times 1.496\times 10^{11}\\\\T_1=\sqrt{\dfrac{4\pi^{2}}{6.67\times10^{-11}\times1.989\times10^{30}}\times1.496\times10^{11}}\\\\T_1=2\times 10^{-4}\ s$

(b) For Sun -Mercury,

$T_2^2=\dfrac{4\pi ^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}}\times 5.79 \times 10^{10}\ m\\\\T_2=\sqrt{\dfrac{4\pi^{2}}{6.67\times10^{-11}\times1.989\times10^{30}}\times 5.79 \times 10^{10}}\ m\\\\T_2=1.31\times 10^{-4}\ s$

$T_3^2=\dfrac{4\pi ^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}}\times 5.91 \times 10^{12}\\\\T_3=\sqrt{\dfrac{4\pi^{2}}{6.67\times10^{-11}\times1.989\times10^{30}}\times 5.91 \times 10^{12}}\\\\T_3=1.32\times 10^{-3}\ s$

A loudspeaker in a parked car is producing sound whose frequency is 20950 Hz. A healthy young person with normal hearing is stan

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

359 m/s

Explanation:

Highest frequency a person can hear is 20,000Hz.

f = c × λ

Frequency = Wave speed × Wavelength

Wavelength = 20,000 ÷ 343 = 58.31m

Wavespeed = Frequency ÷ Wavelength

c = 20,950 ÷ 58.31 = 359.3 m/s

= 359 m/s (3 s.f.)

When an atom that has no charge looses two electrons it becomes a

alex41 [277]

Answer: it becomes a positive ion

Explanation:

So, when an atom loses 2 electrons there will be no change in the number of neutrons. Therefore, an isotope will not form. Thus, it is concluded that when an atom with no charge loses two electrons, it becomes a positive ion.

A ramp is 1.0 m high and 3.0 m long. What is the IMA of the ramp?

oksano4ka [1.4K]

To calculate the ideal mechanical advantage for an inclined plane, divide th length of the incline by the height of the incline.
Therefore; IMA = L/h
L= 3.0 m, while h =1.0 m
IMA = 3/1
= 3
Therefore the IMA of the ramp is 3
This means the ramp increases the force that is being exerted by 3 times.
