6 0

Answer:

a. There is a force on Jupiter toward the center of the orbit.

d. Jupiter is accelerating toward the center of the orbit.

Explanation:

Let us look at each of the choices one by one:

a. There is a force on Jupiter toward the center of the orbit.

True. The sun being at the center of Jupiter's orbit, pulls the planet towards it (providing the centripetal force), therefore, there exists a force on Jupiter toward the center of the orbit.

b. There is a force on Jupiter pulling it out from the center of the orbit.

Nope. The centripetal force due to gravity acts towards the center of the orbit.  

c. There is a force on Jupiter in the direction of its motion.

Nope. There exists only the centripetal force acting towards the center of the orbit,

d. Jupiter is accelerating toward the center of the orbit.

Yes. Because of the centripetal force gravity provides, Jupiter is accelerating towards the center of the orbit, but it does not fall in because it has velocity perpendicular to the direction of its acceleration.

A thermally isolated system is made up of a hot piece of aluminum and a cold piece of copper; the aluminum and the copper are in
butalik [34]

Answer:

copper will have more change in temperature as compare with aluminum

Explanation:

Hot piece of copper is made in contact with cold piece of aluminium

So here thermal energy transfer will take place from copper to aluminium

so by energy conservation we can say that heat given by copper is same as the heat absorbed by aluminium.

now we have

m_1s_1\Delta T_1 = m_2s_2\Delta T_2

here we know that

s_1 = specific heat capacity of copper

s_2 = specific heat capacity of aluminum

given that specific heat capacity of aluminium is more than double that of copper

so we can say

s_2 = 2s_1

so here if the mass of copper and aluminium is same then

\Delta T_1 = 2 \Delta T_2

so temperature change of copper is twice the temperature change of aluminium

So copper will have more change in temperature as compare with aluminum

A 4 kg block is pushed up an incline that makes a 30° angle with the horizontal, as shown in the figure. Once the block is pushe
Sophie [7]

Answer:

  B)  100 J

Explanation:

Assuming the distance given is measured along the incline, the vertical change in height is (5 m)(sin 30°) = 2.5 m. Then the change in potential energy is ...

  ∆PE = mg(∆h) = (4 kg)(10 m/s^2)(2.5 m) = 100 J
