<u>We are given:</u>
Mass of Neptune = 1.03 * 10²⁶ kg
Distance from the center of Neptune (r) = 2.27 * 10⁷
now, computing the value of the acceleration due to gravity (g)
<u>Finding g:</u>
We know the formula:
g = G(mass of planet) / (r)²
g = [6.67 * 10⁻¹¹ * 1.03*10²⁶] / (2.27*10⁷) [since G is 6.67*10⁻¹¹]
g = (6.87 * 10¹⁵) / (5.15 * 10¹⁴)
which can be rewritten as:
g = (6.87 * 10¹⁵ * 10⁻¹⁴) / 5.15
g = (6.87 * 10¹⁵⁻¹⁴) / 5.15
g = (6.87/5.15) * 10
g = 1.34 * 10
g = 13.4 m/s² <em>(approx)</em>
A: 132.9w because 2525\19 is how much energy transferred per second which is also known as the power
Answer:
D. The temperature does not change during a phase change because the average kinetic energy does not change. Therefore, the potential energy in the bonds between molecules must change.
Explanation:
When there is a change of state (for example, from solid into a liquid, as in this example), when energy is added to the system, the temperature of the substance does not change.
The reason for this is that the energy supplied is no longer used to increase the average kinetic energy of the particle, but instead it is used to break the bonds between the different particles/molecules. For instance, since in this case the substance is changing from solid to liquid, all the energy supplied during the phase change is used to break the bonds between the molecules of the solid: when the process is done, all the molecules will be free to slide past each other, and the substance has turned completely into a liquid.
The bonds between molecules store potential energy: therefore, this means that the energy supplied during the phase change is not used to change the kinetic energy, but to change the potential energy in the bonds between the molecules.
