- Your goal is to try and make the timeline of the Perseverance mission play out the way you remember it. You want to make sure that the Perseverance rover gets built and sent to Mars, just like your "memory of the future", i.e. your memory of the summer of 2020. In the space provided below, write a description, in your own words, of why the Perseverance rover has the potential to do great science. Here are the things to focus on: What are the two or three most special things about Perseverance, when it comes to the search for possible ancient life on Mars? In particular, you want to make sure to describe and explain the one particular thing that Perseverance will hopefully do, which will start the long process of giving scientists the opportunity to learn about Mars in a way they never could do before.arrow_forwardWe need to create a scale model of the solar system (by shrinking the sun down to the size of a basketball or ~30cm). First, we will need to scale down actual solar system dimensions (planet diameters and average orbital radiuses) by converting our units. There are two blank spaces in the table below. We will effectively fill in the missing data in the next set of questions. Use the example below to help you. Example: What is the scaled diameter of Mercury if the Sun is scaled to the size of a basketball (30 cm)? The actual diameter of Mercury is 4879 km The Sun's diameter is 1392000 km If the Sun is to be reduced to the size of a basketball, then the conversion we need for this equation will be: 30cm1392000km Here is how we run the conversion: 4879km×30cm1392000km=0.105cm or 0.11cm if we were to round our answer. This means that if the sun in our model is the size of a basketball, Mercury is the size of a grain of sand. We can also see by looking at the table, that we would…arrow_forwardProcedure Table 11.1 presents Djup and Pday for the major Jovian satellites. First use these data and the equation above to calculate Jupiter’s mass in kilograms (kg). Enter your results in the table for each satellite. Next calculate the average Jupiter mass (Mjup, av) and enter the result in the table. Finally, calculate the percent difference (PD) using Mjup, av and the standard value for Jupiter’s mass (1.9 X 1027 kg). In the calculation of PD you can ignore 1027 because it will appear in both numerator and denominator. ________________________________________________________ Table 11.1 Calculated values for Jupiter’s Mass Satellite Djup Pday Mjup Io 2.95 1.77 Europa 4.69 3.55 Ganymede 7.50 7.15 Callisto 13.15 16.7 __________________________________________________________ Average Jupiter Mass = Percent Difference =arrow_forward

- Impact Energy. Consider a comet about 2 kilometers across with a mass of 4 × 1012 kg. Assume that it crashes into Earth at a speed of 30,000 meters per second (about 67,000 miles per hour). a. What is the total energy of the impact, in joules? (Hint: The kinetic energy formula tells us that the impact energy in joules will be 1 × m × v2, where 2 m is the comet’s mass in kilograms and v is its speed in meters per second.) b. A 1-megaton nuclear explosion releases about 4 × 1015 joules of energy. How many such nuclear bombs would it take to release as much energy as the comet impact? c. Based on your answers, comment on the degree of devastation the comet might cause.arrow_forwardIn determining the least count of the main scale in the Vernier caliper, which of the following method must be followed? * O Divide the difference between two adjacent main scale values by the number of divisions between them.
