You are out on a date, eating dinner in a restaurant that has several television screens. Most of the screens are showing sports events, but one near you and your date is showing a discussion of an upcoming voyage to Mars. (a) Your date says, "I wonder how long it takes to get to Mars?” Wanting to impress your date, you grab a napkin and draw Figure P13.9 on it. Even more impressively, you tell your date that the minimum-energy transfer orbit from Earth to Mars is an elliptical trajectory with the departure planet corresponding to the perihelion of the ellipse and the arrival planet at the aphelion. You pull out your smartphone, activate the calculator feature, and perform a calculation on another napkin to answer the question above that your date asked about the transfer time interval to Mars on this particular trajectory. (b) What If? Your date is impressed, but then asks you to determine the transit time to an inner planet, like Venus.
One year on Mars is as long as 1.88 years on earth. How many seconds is a Martian year?
Please give the correct answer
A submersible robot is exploring one of the methane seas on Titan, Saturn's largest moon. It discovers a number of small spherical structures on the bottom of the sea at depth of 10 meters [m], and selects one for analysis. The sphere selected has a volume of 1.9 cubic centimeters [cm3] and a density of 2.25 grams per cubic centimeter [g/cm3]. When the rock is returned to Earth for analysis, what is the weight of the sphere in newtons [N]? Gravity on Titan is 1.352 meters per second squared [m/s2]. The density of methane is 0.712 grams per liter [g/L]
The weight of the sphere is ____ N.

- Part A: A researcher is studying the lifespans of chimpanzees from Location A and Location B. From her results, she estimates that a chimpanzee from location A will have an average lifespan was 27 ± 4 years and a chimpanzee from location B will have an average lifespan was 35 ± 4 years. Part A.I: Based on the life spans (with uncertainties) above, can one argue that primates from both locations have the same lifespan? Show work to prove your point.
