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>

A container is filled with water to a depth of 26.2 cm. On top of the water floats a 16.1 cm thick layer of oil with a density of
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

1.34 x 10^3 Pa

Explanation:

density of oil = 0.85 x 10^3 kg/m^3

g = 9.81 m/s^2

height of oil column = 16.1 cm = 0.161 m

Pressure on the surface of water = height of oil column x density of oil x g

                                                      = 0.161 x 0.85 x 10^3 x 9.81 = 1.34 x 10^3 Pa

Thus, the pressure on the surface of water is 1.34 x 10^3 Pa.

A 25-kg child sits at the top of a 4-meter slide. After sliding down, the child is traveling at 5 m/s. How much PE does he start
Semmy [17]

Daniddmelo says it right there, don't know why he got reported.

The potential energy (PE) is mass x height x gravity. So it would be 25 kg x 4  m x 9.8 = 980 joules. The child starts out with 980 joules of potential energy. The kinetic energy (KE) is (1/2) x mass x velocity squared. KE = (1/2) x 25 kg x 5 m/s2 = 312.5 joules. So he ends with 312.5 joules of kinetic energy. The Energy lost to friction =  PE - KE. 980- 312.5 = 667.5 joules of energy lost to friction.

Please don't just copy and paste, and thank you Dan cause you practically did it I just... elaborated more? I dunno.
