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

A hamster eats a carrot before using its hamster wheel. The hamster wheel is connected to a generator which powers a light bulb.
Andrei [34K]

Answer: Chemical → Mechanical → Electrical → Radiant

Explanation:

First, the Hamster eats the carrot, then the hamster is getting chemical energy.

Now the hamster starts using his wheel, then he "transforms" the chemical energy into mechanical energy.

Now the mechanical energy is connected to a generator, this means that the mechanical energy (the rotation of the wheel) is being converted into electrical energy.

And we know that there is a light bulb powered by this electrical energy, then we have electrical energy being transformed into radiant energy.

Then the correct option is:

Chemical → Mechanical → Electrical → Radiant

There are a variety of waves from light waves to mechanical waves. Waves can exhibit different effects like the Doppler Effect.

All light waves behave in a similar manner. They either get  transmitted, reflected, absorbed, refracted, polarized, diffracted, or scattered based off of the composition of the object and the wavelength of the light.

According to Wikipedia, “One important property of mechanical waves is that their amplitudes are measured in an unusual way, displacement divided by (reduced) wavelength. When this gets comparable to unity, significant nonlinear effects such as harmonic generation may occur, and, if large enough, may result in chaotic effects.” Mechanical waves are chaotic and its “amplitudes” are measured unusually.

Diffraction is when light bends around objects and spread after passing out through small openings. “Diffraction occurs with all waves, including sound waves, water waves, and electromagnetic waves such as light that the eye can see.”-Wikipedia. Here is the formula to Diffraction: <em>d </em>sin <em>θ </em>= <em>nλ</em>

Doppler effect can occur for any type of wave like sound or water waves. An example of this is when we hear a police car with its sirens on, coming towards us. The closer you are to the police car, the higher the wavelength, but the farther away you are, the lower the wavelength.

valentinak56 [21]
<span>The image produced is real and enlarged.

Check for various positions of objects and Images for convex lens.

Note at position of 2F, the image is same as the object, and once it is between 2F and F, the image becomes bigger than the object. </span>

Sanitation can be accomplished by all of the means except
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

Air drying

Explanation:

Sanitation is the set of measures that aims to preserve or modify the conditions of the environment in order to prevent diseases and promote health, improve the quality of life of the population and the productivity of the individual and facilitate economic activity. Basic sanitation is a right guaranteed by the Constitution as the set of services, infrastructure and operational installations for water supply, sanitary sewage, urban cleaning, urban drainage, solid waste and rainwater management.

Sanitation can be carried out in several ways, except for dry air, as this would damage the quality of sanitation and the environment.

Sanitation is important in treated water, sewage collection and treatment services lead to an improvement in the quality of people's lives, especially in child health, with a reduction in child mortality, improvements in education, in the expansion of tourism, in the valuation of properties, in income of the worker, in the cleaning of rivers and preservation of water resources, etc.
