Answer:
500 kg
Explanation:
It is given that,
The mass of a open train car, M = 5000 kg
Speed of open train car, V = 22 m/s
A few minutes later, the car’s speed is 20 m/s
We need to find the mass of water collected in the car. It is based on the conservation of momentum as follows :
initial momentum = final momentum
Let m is final mass
MV=mv
Water collected = After mass of train - before mass of train
= 5500 - 5000
= 500 kg
So, 500 kg of water has collected in the car.
Answer:
b. Jupiter’s greater gravity has compressed the layers, so they are closer together there.
Explanation:
The value for Jupiter mass is 1.8981×10²⁷kg, while the mass of Saturn is 5.6832×10²⁶kg, so the different layers of clouds in Jupiter will be submitted to a greater gravitational pull because it has a bigger mass, as is established in the law of universal gravitation:
(1)
Where m1 and m2 are the masses of two objects, G is the gravitational constant and r is the distance between the two objects.
As it can be seen in equation 1, the gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the objects, so if the mass increase the gravitational force will do it too.
For the case of Saturn, it has a lower mass so its layers of clouds will suffer a weaker gravitational pull. That leads to the three clouds being more spacing that the ones of Jupiter.
