Explain why the surface of Venus is hotter than the surface of Mercury

Physics

solong [7]3 years ago

Venus becomes hotter because it has a very thick atmosphere. An atmosphere is a layer of gasses surrounding a planet or a moon. An atmosphere stops heat from escaping. Venus' atmosphere is much thicker than Earth's. It is mostly made of a gas that ic called carbon dioxide.

<span>Venus is hotter due to the greenhouse effect: Venus has an atmosphere about ninety times thicker than that of Earth, and made almost entirely of carbon dioxide, which is one of the gasses that causes the greenhouse effect on Earth.</span>

Which physical law underlies the first law of thermodynamics?
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

Conservation of energy

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics is given by :

Q=\Delta U+W

Here,

Q is amount of heat added to the system

\Delta U is change in internal energy

W is amount of work done by the system

It is clear that the energy can be neither created nor destroyed, it remains conserved. Hence, first law of thermodynamics shows that conservation of energy.

Imagine holding a basketball in both hands, throwing it straight up as high as you can, and then catching it when it falls. At w
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

C. At the instant the ball reaches its highest point.

Explanation:

When a body is thrown up, it tends to come down due to the influence of gravitational force acting on the body. The body will be momentarily at rest at its maximum point before falling. At this maximum point, the velocity of the body is zero and since force acting on a body is product of the mass and its acceleration, the force acting on the body at that point will be "zero"

Remember, F = ma = m(v/t)

Since v = 0 at maximum height

F = m(0/t)

F = 0N

This shows that the force acting on the body is zero at the maximum height.

Assume that the average mass of each of the approximately 1 billion people in China is 55 kg.Assume that they all gather in one
Harman [31]

Answer: 5.9(10)^{-8} m

Explanation:

The equation to calculate the center of mass C_{M} of a particle system is:

C_{M}=\frac{m_{1}r_{1}+m_{1}r_{1}+...+m_{n}r_{n}}{m_{1}+m_{2}+...+m_{n}}

In this case we can arrange for one dimension, assuming the geometric center of the Earth and the ladder are on a line, and assuming original center of mass located at the Earth's geometric center:

C_{M}=\frac{m_{E}(0 m) + m_{p} r_{E-p}}{m_{E}+m_{p}}

Where:

m_{E}=5.9(10)^{24} kg is the mass of the Earth

m_{p}=55(10)^{9} kg is the mass of 1 billion people

r_{E}=6371000 m is the radius of the Earth

r_{E-p}=6371000 m- 2m=6370998 m is the distance between the center of the Earth and the position of the people (2 m above the Earth's surface)

C_{M}=\frac{m_{p}55(10)^{9} kg (6370998 m)}{5.9(10)^{24} kg+55(10)^{9} kg}

C_{M}=5.9(10)^{-8} m This is the displacement of Earth's center of mass from the original center.
