A planetary surface is where the solid (or liquid) material of the outer crust on certain types of astronomical objects contacts the atmosphere or outer space. Planetary surfaces are found on solid objects of planetary mass, including terrestrial planets (including Earth), dwarf planets, natural satellites, planetesimals and many other small Solar System bodies (SSSBs).[1][2][3] The study of planetary surfaces is a field of planetary geology known as surface geology, but also a focus of a number of fields including planetary cartography, topography, geomorphology, atmospheric sciences, and astronomy. Land (or ground) is the term given to non-liquid planetary surfaces. The term landing is used to describe the collision of an object with a planetary surface and is usually at a velocity in which the object can remain intact and remain attached.
In differentiated bodies, the surface is where the crust meets the planetary boundary layer. Anything below this is regarded as being sub-surface or sub-marine. Most bodies more massive than super-Earths, including stars and gas giants, as well as smaller gas dwarfs, transition contiguously between phases, including gas, liquid, and solid. As such, they are generally regarded as lacking surfaces.
Planetary surfaces and surface life are of particular interest to humans as it is the primary habitat of the species, which has evolved to move over land and breathe air. Human space exploration and space colonization therefore focuses heavily on them. Humans have only directly explored the surface of Earth and the Moon. The vast distances and complexities of space makes direct exploration of even near-Earth objects dangerous and expensive. As such, all other exploration has been indirect via space probes.
Indirect observations by flyby or orbit currently provide insufficient information to confirm the composition and properties of planetary surfaces. Much of what is known is from the use of techniques such as astronomical spectroscopy and sample return. Lander spacecraft have explored the surfaces of planets Mars and Venus. Mars is the only other planet to have had its surface explored by a mobile surface probe (rover). Titan is the only non-planetary object of planetary mass to have been explored by lander. Landers have explored several smaller bodies including 433 Eros (2001), 25143 Itokawa (2005), Tempel 1 (2005), 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko (2014), 162173 Ryugu (2018) and 101955 Bennu (2020). Surface samples have been collected from the Moon (returned 1969), 25143 Itokawa (returned 2010), 162173 Ryugu and 101955 Bennu.
Answer:
The amount of work done on the system is 18234 J and the final positive sign means that this work corresponds to an increase in internal energy of the gas.
Explanation:
Thermodynamic work is called the transfer of energy between the system and the environment by methods that do not depend on the difference in temperatures between the two. When a system is compressed or expanded, a thermodynamic work is produced which is called pressure-volume work (p - v).
The pressure-volume work done by a system that compresses or expands at constant pressure is given by the expression:
W system= -p*∆V
Where:
- W system: Work exchanged by the system with the environment. Its unit of measure in the International System is the joule (J)
- p: Pressure. Its unit of measurement in the International System is the pascal (Pa)
- ∆V: Volume variation (∆V = Vf - Vi). Its unit of measurement in the International System is cubic meter (m³)
In this case:
- p= 10 atm= 1.013*10⁶ Pa (being 1 atm= 101325 Pa)
- ΔV= 2 L- 20 L= -18 L= -0.018 m³ (being 1 L=0.001 m³)
Replacing:
W system= -1.013*10⁶ Pa* (-0.018 m³)
Solving:
W system= 18234 J
<u><em>The amount of work done on the system is 18234 J and the final positive sign means that this work corresponds to an increase in internal energy of the gas.</em></u>
The Patch's area of the space shuttle in km² is 2.07 × 10⁻⁹ km²
Given, that a space shuttle requires a 20.7 cm² patch
We have to convert the patch's area from cm² into km².
Unit conversion is a method in which we multiply or divide with a particular numerical factor and then finally round off to the nearest significant digits.
Patch area of the space shuttle is 20.7 cm²
1 cm = 0.00001 km
or, 1 cm² = (0.00001 km)²
or, 1 cm² = 10⁻¹⁰km²
20.7 cm² = 20.7 × 10⁻¹⁰km²
20.7 cm² = 2.07 × 10⁻⁹ km²
The patch area in square kilometers is 2.07 × 10⁻⁹ km²
