Explain our ideas about why the terrestrial planets are rocky and have less gas than the giant planets.

Physics

snow_lady [41]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: The terrestrial planets are mainly comprised of silicate minerals and also there is presence of some metals, which were subsequently formed in the geological time scale, after the accumulation of smaller dust particles, due to the gravitational pull, during the time of formation of the planets.

Due to the location of these terrestrial planets near to the sun, their surface temperature is high enough to hold the gases like hydrogen and helium. Thus, they have a high density but less gases compared to the outer planets.

A form of energy that exhibits wave behavior as it travels through space is
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

Electromagnetic Radiation

Explanation:

Electromagnetic radiation is formed by the combination of electric and magnetic fields, which propagate through space in the form of energy-carrying waves.

Electromagnetic waves have vibrations perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. For this reason, they are classified among the transverse waves.

Electromagnetic waves travel through space, and do not need a material medium to propagate.

Main types of electromagnetic radiation.

Gamma rays: More energetic radiation. It has the highest frequency (and therefore, the shortest wavelength). They constitute a form of radioactivity.

X-rays: Radiation of less energy than gamma rays. It is used in medical examinations and in the study of metals.

Ultraviolet (UV) rays: Radiation of less energy than X-rays. It comes mainly from the sun.

Visible radiation: Radiation of lower energy than ultraviolet rays. Collect the range of frequencies that can be perceived with the view, from red to violet.

Infrared rays (IR): Radiation of less energy than visible radiation. It is emitted by hot bodies.

Microwave: Radiation of less energy than infrared. It is used in appliances and medical therapy.

TV and radio waves: Less energetic radiation. They are used in telecommunications

Which of the following statements is true?
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

Concrete absorbs visible light and re-radiates it as infrared energy.

Explanation:

As we know that concrete will not reflect 100% light incident on it but it will absorb few energy and remaining energy is reflected back.

So here when visible light incident on the concrete then few of its energy is absorbed by is and then the remaining energy is reflected back.

Since the reflected energy must be less than the energy which incident on the concrete so here we will say that the reflected waves must be of less frequency range

so here most appropriate energy range of reflected wave is infrared waves

so here correct answer will be

Concrete absorbs visible light and re-radiates it as infrared energy.

A rod (length = 80 cm) with a rectangular cross section (1.5 mm × 2.0 mm) has a resistance of 0.20 Ω. What is the resistivity of
Andru [333]

Answer:

The resistivity of the material used to make the rod is ρ= 7.5 * 10⁻⁷ Ω.m

Explanation:

R= 0.2 Ω

L= 0.8 m

S= 1.5mm*2mm= 3 mm² = 3 * 10⁻⁶ m²

ρ = (R*S)/L

ρ= 7.5 * 10⁻⁷ Ω.m

Why are clouds considered to be a part of the hydrosphere?
blondinia [14]
It is considered parts of the Hydrosphere because water condenses in clouds and falls as precipitation so it is a vital part of the hydrosphere.
