Planets are not uniform inside. Normally, they are densest at the center and have decreasing density outward toward the surface.

elena-s [515]

Answer:

$g=13.42\frac{m}{s^2}$

Explanation:

1) Notation and info given

$\rho_{center}=13000 \frac{kg}{m^3}$ represent the density at the center of the planet

$\rho_{surface}=2100 \frac{kg}{m^3}$ represent the densisty at the surface of the planet

r represent the radius

$r_{earth}=6.371x10^{6}m$ represent the radius of the Earth

2) Solution to the problem

So we can use a model to describe the density as function of the radius

$r=0, \rho(0)=\rho_{center}=13000 \frac{kg}{m^3}$

$r=6.371x10^{6}m, \rho(6.371x10^{6}m)=\rho_{surface}=2100 \frac{kg}{m^3}$

So we can create a linear model in the for y=b+mx, where the intercept b= $\rho_{center}=13000 \frac{kg}{m^3}$ and the slope would be given by $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{\rho_{surface}-\rho_{center}}{r_{earth}-0}$

So then our linear model would be

$\rho (r)=\rho_{center}+\frac{\rho_{surface}-\rho_{center}}{r_{earth}}r$

Since the goal for the problem is find the gravitational acceleration we need to begin finding the total mass of the planet, and for this we can use a finite element and spherical coordinates. The volume for the differential element would be $dV=r^2 sin\theta d\phi d\theta dr$ .

And the total mass would be given by the following integral

$M=\int \rho (r) dV$

Replacing dV we have the following result:

$M=\int_{0}^{2\pi}d\phi \int_{0}^{\pi}sin\theta d\theta \int_{0}^{r_{earth}}(r^2 \rho_{center}+\frac{\rho_{surface}-\rho_{center}}{r_{earth}}r)$

We can solve the integrals one by one and the final result would be the following

$M=4\pi(\frac{r^3_{earth}\rho_{center}}{3}+\frac{r^4_{earth}}{4} \frac{\rho_{surface}-\rho_{center}}{r_{earth}})$

Simplyfind this last expression we have:

$M=\frac{4\pi\rho_{center}r^3_{earth}}{3}+\pi r^3_{earth}(\rho_{surface}-\rho_{center})$

$M=\pi r^3_{earth}(\frac{4}{3}\rho_{center}+\rho_{surface}-\rho_{center})$

$M=\pi r^3_{earth}[\rho_{surface}+\frac{1}{3}\rho_{center}]$

And replacing the values we got:

$M=\pi (6.371x10^{6}m)^2(\frac{1}{3}13000 \frac{kg}{m^3}+2100 \frac{kg}{m^3})=8.204x10^{24}kg$

And now that for any shape the gravitational acceleration is given by:

$g=\frac{MG}{r^2_{earth}}=\frac{(6.67408x10^{-11}\frac{m^3}{kgs^2})*8.204x10^{24}kg}{(6371000m)^2}=13.48\frac{m}{s^2}$

The greenhouse effect presentation summarized?

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

What is the greenhouse effect?

The greenhouse effect is the way in which heat is trapped close to Earth's surface by “greenhouse gases.”

Explanation:

These heat-trapping gases can be thought of as a blanket wrapped around Earth, keeping the planet toastier than it would be without them. Greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxides, and water vapor. (Water vapor, which responds physically or chemically to changes in temperature, is called a "feedback.") Scientists have determined that carbon dioxide's warming effect helps stabilize Earth's atmosphere. Remove carbon dioxide, and the terrestrial greenhouse effect would collapse. Without carbon dioxide, Earth's surface would be some 33°C (59°F) cooler.

What type of material is wrapped around an object could cause the object to lose the most heat

Dmitrij [34]

<span>A sheet of copper could cause the object to lose the most amount of heat. Copper is an essential element and a good conductor of heat. Heat can transfer from one end of a piece of copper to the other end.</span>
