Most terrestrial planets have portions of their surface that appear to be significantly older than other portions of their surface. What evidence suggests that the surface of Venus is all of the same age?
a. Photos taken by probes that landed on Venus showed that all of the rocks were of the same age.
b. The craters on Venus are randomly distributed in size and number across the surface.
c. The volcanoes on Venus are not found in isolated groups, but are scattered around the planet.
d. Photos taken by probes that landed on Venus showed that all of the rocks were of the same age and the craters on Venus are randomly distributed in size and number across the surface.

A bucket of water with total mass 21.0 kg is attached to a rope, which in turn is wound around a 0.050-m radius cylinder, with crank, at the top of a well. The moment of inertia of the cylinder and crank is 0.21 kg m2 . The bucket is raised to the top of the well and released to fall back into the well. What is the kinetic energy of the cylinder and crank at the instant the bucket is moving with
