In January 2006, astronomers reported the discovery of a planet comparable in size to the earth orbiting another star and having

a mass of about 5.5 times the earth's mass.
It is believed to consist of a mixture of rock and ice, similar to Neptune. Take mass Earth=5.97x10^24 kg and radius Earth=6.38x10^6 m. If this planet has the same density as Neptune (1.76 g/cm^3), what is its radius expressed in kilometers?

Answer:

R = 5.28  103 km

Explanation:

The definition of density is

              ρ = m / V

              V = m /ρ

Where m is the mass and V the volume of the body

The volume of a sphere is

            V = 4/3 π r³

Let's replace

             4/3 π r³ = m / ρ

             R =∛ ¾ m / ρ π

The mass of the planet is

              M = 5.5 Me

              R = ∛ ¾ 5.5 Me /ρ π

Let's reduce the density to SI units

             ρ = 1.76 g / cm³ (1 kg / 10³ g) (10² cm / 1 m)³

             ρ = 1.76 10³ kg / m³

Let's calculate

               R = ∛ ¾ 5.5 5.97 10²⁴ / (1.76 10³ pi)

               R = ∛ 0.14723 10²¹

               R = 0.528 10⁷ m

               R = 0.528 104 km

               R = 5.28  103 km

Power selection feature for resistors to become water modules 10 liters of water at 25°C to đến
Mila [183]

Answer:

P = 2439.5 W = 2.439 KW

Explanation:

First, we will find the mass of the water:

Mass = (Density)(Volume)

Mass = m = (1 kg/L)(10 L)

m = 10 kg

Now, we will find the energy required to heat the water between given temperature limits:

E = mCΔT

where,

E = energy = ?

C = specific heat capacity of water = 4182 J/kg.°C

ΔT = change in temperature = 95°C - 25°C = 70°C

Therefore,

E = (10 kg)(4182 J/kg.°C)(70°C)

E = 2.927 x 10⁶ J

Now, the power required will be:

Power = P = \frac{E}{t}

where,

t = time = (20 min)(60 s/1 min) = 1200 s

Therefore,

P = \frac{2.927\ x\ 10^6\ J}{1200\ s}

<u>P = 2439.5 W = 2.439 KW</u>

The mixture you separated was a mixture of iron filings, sand, and salt. Based on your understanding of matter, is this mixture
V125BC [204]

Answer: Heterogeneous mixture - the parts are not uniformly mixed.

A mixture contains components having distinct chemical properties. There are two types of mixtures: homogeneous and heterogeneous. In a homogeneous mixture there is uniform distribution of components. we cannot distinguish one portion of the mixture from another. for example salt mixed in water. In heterogeneous mixture, the components are not uniformly mixed. hence, we are able to distinguish different parts of a mixture, like the mixture of iron, sand and salt given in this question.

Luigi twirls a round piece of pizza dough overhead with a frequency of
viva [34]

The linear speed of the pepperoni is 0.628 m/s. Its direction is tangential to the circle.

We know that;

v = rω

r = radius of the piece = 10 cm or 0.1 m

ω = angular velocity

We have to convert 60 revolutions per minute to radians per second

1 rev/min = 0.10472 rad/s

60 revolutions per minute = 60 rev/min × 0.10472 rad/s/1 rev/min

= 6.28 rad/s

v =  0.1 m ×  6.28 rad/s

v = 0.628 m/s

The direction of this velocity is tangential to the circle.
