Mercury's surface has many craters because .

it has no atmosphere to protect it from meteoroids or comets
it has several active volcanoes which erupt and melt holes in the rock
it once collided with another planet, which caused damage to its crust
it has a thick atmosphere which traps meteoroids and comets near the surface

Which of these describe conduction transfer of heat between two objects that are touching transfer of heat by the actual movement of war matter the process in which energy is imitated by one of the object transmitted through space and absorbed by another a process in which energy is released by the molecules breaking apart

A33.1 g copper object is launched from a 1.5 m 30° steel incline positioned on the floor by being pulled up a string attached to a 50.0 g mass suspended vertically over a pulley. the object is projected towards a glass table where it lands when it is at the point along its trajectory with the lowest speed. it comes to a halt when it clears the opposite edge of the table. it then falls and lands on 9 physics texts each 5 cm thick that are stacked on the floor on the opposite side of the table. assume that the table does not have a ledge and the rectangular object experiences 0.05 n of air resistance as it falls towards the books. how far and how long did the object travel and how fast does it hit the books. assume that at the moment the copper object leaves the incline, the massless string and ideal pulley break off

Acaterpillar tries to climb straight up a wall a meter high, but for every 2 cm up it climbs, it slides down 1 cm. eventually, it reaches the top. when it reaches the top, it does not pull itself over so it will slide down 1 cm. what is the total displacement traveled?
