1) How massive would Earth had been if it had accreted hydrogen compounds in addition to the sme properties listed in table 7.1? (Assume the same properties of the ingredients as listed in the table)
2) Now imagine that Earth had been able to capture hydrogen and helium gas in the same proportions as listed in the table. How massive would it have been?
The number density of air in a child's balloon is roughly the same as sea level air, 1019 particles/cm3. If the balloon is now 18 cm in diameter, to what diameter (in km) would it need to expand to make the gas inside have the same number density as the ISM, about 1 particle/cm3?

Indeed, in any one mare, we find a variety of rock ages, typically spanning about 100 million years. The individual lava flows as seen in Hadley Rille by the Apollo 15 astronauts were about 4mthick. Estimate the average time interval between the beginnings of successive lava flows if the total depth of the lava in the mare is 2 km.arrow_forward- Life x S HW 18-2 w NWP Assessment Player Ul Appli x on.wiley.com/was/ui/v2/assessment-player/index.html?launchld 4368ed39-f195-462d-a6ef-6b156bd84883#/question/3 Wa.

This produces a steadyconcentration of C14 in the atmosphere once the decay rate of the C14 back intoN14 matches the conversion rate from the cosmic ray flux (which is assumedto be constant for reasons you can ask me about if you want) a) What kind of radiation (what kind of particle) does the C14 emit when it decays? Tellme how you know?b) The concentration of C14 in plants (and animals) comes into equilibrium with the at-mosphere because living things use the ambient carbon to make their cellular structures.However, once a plant dies, it no longer consumes C14. The C14 starts to decay away—allowing us to calculate when the plant died because the C14/C12 ratio doesn’t match theatmosphere. If the half life of C14 is 5000 years, what is the age of a piece of charcoal froma site from the Clovis peoples of North America if the concentration of C14 is 15% of…arrow_forward
