Cookware companies have been using a chemical called C-8, which helps to create a nonstick coating to pans. However, the Environ

mental Protection Agency (EPA) recently claimed that the use of C-8 in the manufacturing of nonstick cookware should be discontinued because studies show it causes cancer.

1. How does the mass of Jupiter compare to Earth?

sammy [17]

Answer:

1.

Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system. (Image credit: NASA)

The largest planet in the solar system, the gas giant Jupiter is approximately 318 times as massive as Earth. If the mass of all of the other planets in the solar system were combined into one "super planet," Jupiter would still be two and a half times as large.

2.Rotation of Jupiter

[/caption]

Jupiter has the fastest rotation of all the planets in the Solar System, completing one rotation on its axis every 9.9 hours.

3.Jupiter, the King of the Planets, is a gas giant, which means that it's made mostly of gases like hydrogen and helium, and that it doesn't have a solid surface in the way that rocky planets like Earth do. With a temperature of 130 K (-140 C, -230 F), it's so cold that it gives off most of its energy in the infrared. In fact, Jupiter gives off almost twice as much heat as it receives from the Sun. It's able to do this because it has its own internal heat source, powered by the slow gravitational collapse that started when the planet first formed. Astronomers estimate that Jupiter is currently shrinking by almost 2 cm per year

A mass of 0.5 kg hangs motionless from a vertical spring whose length is 1.10 m and whose unstretched length is 0.50 m. Next the

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

The maximum length during the motion is $L_{max} = 1.45m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass is $m =0.5 kg$

The vertical spring length is $L = 1.10m$

The unstretched length is $L_{un} = 1.30m$

The initial speed is $v_i = 1.3m/s$

The new length of the spring $L_{new} = 1.30 m$

The spring constant k is mathematically represented as

$k = -\frac{F}{y}$

Where F is the force applied $= m * g = 0.5 * 9.8=4.9N$

y is the difference in weight which is $=1.10-0.50=0.6m$

The negative sign is because the displacement of the spring (i.e its extension occurs against the force F)

Now substituting values accordingly

$k = \frac{4.9}{0.6}$

$= 8.17 N/m$

The elastic potential energy is given as $E_{PE} = \frac{1}{2} k D^2$

where D is this the is the displacement

Since Energy is conserved the total elastic potential energy would be

$E_T = initial \ elastic\ potential \ energy + kinetic \ energy$

$E_T = \frac{1}{2} k D_{max}^2 = \frac{1}{2} k D^2 + \frac{1}{2} mv^2$

Substituting value accordingly

$\frac{1}{2} *8.17 *D_{max}^2 =\frac{1}{2} * 8.17*(1.30 - 0.50)^2 + \frac{1}{2} * 0.5 *1.30^2$

$4.085 * D_{max}^2 = 3.69$

$D^2_{max} = 0.9033$

$D_{max} = 0.950m$

So to obtain total length we would add the unstretched length

So we have

$L_{max} = 0.950 + 0.5 = 1.45m$

Solve this physics for me <br>please with steps<br>

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

The answers are located in each of the explanations showed below

Explanation:

a)

(i) Surface Tension: The tensile force that causes this tension acts parallel to the surface and is due to the forces of attraction between the molecules of the liquid. The magnitude of this force per unit of length is called surface tension.

σ = F/l [N/m]

where:

F = force [N]

l = length [m]

σ = Surface Tension [N/m]

(ii) Frequency is the number of repetitions per unit of time of any periodic event.

f = 1/T [1/s] or [s^-1] or [Hz]

where:

T = period [s] or [seconds]

f = frecuency [Hz] or [hertz]

(iii) Each of the units will be shown for each variable

v = velocity [m/s]

a = accelertion [m/s^2]

s = displacement [m]

$[\frac{m}{s} ]^{2} =[\frac{m}{s} ]^{2} + 2* [\frac{m}{s^{2} } ]*[m]\\$

$[\frac{m^2}{s^2} ] =[\frac{m^2}{s^2} ] + [\frac{m^{2} }{s^{2} } ]$

$[\frac{m^2}{s^2} ]$

b) To find the velocity we must derivate the function X with respect to t because this derivate will give us the equation for the velocity, it means:

$v=\frac{dx}{dt} \\v = 0.75*2*t+5*t$

$(i) X = 0.75*t^{2} +5*t+1\\X = 0.75*(4)^{2} +5*(4)+1\\X = 33 [m]$

ii) replacing in the derivated equation.

$v=1.5*(4)+5\\v=11[m/s]$

iii) the average velocity is defined by the expresion v = x/t

$v = \frac{x-x_{0} }{t-t_{0} } \\$

$x_{0}=0.75(2)^{2}+5(2)+1 \\ x_{0}=14[m]\\x=0.75(7)^{2}+5(7)+1\\x=72.75[m]\\t = 7 [s]t0= 2[s]Now replacing:[tex]v_{prom} = \frac{72.75-14}{7-2} \\v_{prom} = 11.75 [m/s]$

a) Pascal's principle or Pascal's law, where the pressure exerted on an incompressible fluid and in balance within a container of indeformable walls is transmitted with equal intensity in all directions and at all points of the fluid.

Therefore:

P1 = pressure at point 1.

P2 = pressure at point 2.

P1 = F1/A1

P2= F2/A2

$\frac{F_{1} }{A_{1} }=\frac{F_{2}}{A_{2} } \\F_{1}=A_{1}*(\frac{F_{2}}{A_{2} })$

b) One of the applications of the surface tension is the <u>capillarity</u> this is a property of liquids that depends on their surface tension (which, in turn, depends on the cohesion or intermolecular force of the liquid), which gives them the ability to climb or descend through a capillary tube.

Other examples of surface tension:

The mosquitoes that can sit on the water.

A clip on the water.

Some leaves that remain floating on the surface.

Some soaps and detergents on the water.

What is a likely consequence of preventing prescribed burns to forest ecosystems?

liraira [26]

The forest ecosystem will regain back its natural ecology compared to burning of the forest and other illegal activities done to the forest. And also, some of the animals living in that forest will live and those that are endangered will not be threatened.
