Why does the moon lack an atmosphere?  

Physics
1 answer:
vesna_86 [32]3 years ago

Because when it had any, the warmth of the sun heated the atmosphere to the point where the average speed of the gas molecules exceeded the escape velocity for a body with the moon's mass and size. So, little by little, they escaped.

Within a period of the periodic table, how do the properties of the elements vary?
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

Elements in the same period have the same number of electron shells; moving across a period (so progressing from group to group), elements gain electrons and protons and become less metallic. This arrangement reflects the periodic recurrence of similar properties as the atomic number increases.

Explanation:

The Periodic Table can predict the properties of new elements, because it organizes the elements according to their atomic numbers. ... They hope that the two nuclei at the centre of these atoms will fuse and form a heavier nucleus. When these heavy elements form, they are usually highly unstable.

dam is used to block the passage of a river and to generate electricity. Approximately 58.4 x 103 kg of water falls each second
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

8.049 MW

Explanation:

The expression for gravitational potential energy is given as

Ep = mgh............. Equation 1

Ep = gravitational potential energy, m = mass of water, h = height, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Given: m = 58.4×10³ kg, h = 20.1 m, g = 9.81 m/s²

Substitute into equation 1

Ep =  58.4×10³(20.1)(9.81)

Ep = 1.6098×10⁷ J.

If one half the gravitational potential energy of the water were converted to electrical energy

Electrical energy = Ep/2

Electrical energy = (1.6098×10⁷)/2

Electrical energy = 8.049×10⁶ J

In one seconds,

The power generated = 8.049×10⁶ W

Power generated = 8.049 MW

ollegr [7]

Answer:

ξ = 0.00845020162 V or 8.4 mV

Explanation:

Magnetic flux measures the total magnetic field that passes through a known area. Magnetic flux describe the effect of magnetic field in a given area. Mathematically,

magnetic flux (Ф) = BA cos ∅

where

A = test area

B = magnetic field

before the flip

Ф = Bπr²N

N = number of turn

magnitude of induced emf = N |ΔФ/Δt|

ξ  = 2Nπr²B/dt

ξ  = 2 × 22 × π × (1.02/2)² × 0.000047/0.2

ξ = 44 × π × 0.51² × 0.000047/0.2

ξ = 44 × π × 0.2601  × 0.000047/0.2

ξ = 0.0005378868  × 3.142/0.2

ξ = 0.00169004032/0.2

ξ = 0.00845020162 V or 8.4 mV
