"Jupiter's moons orbit Jupiter much like the Earth orbits the Sun" describes how the moons of Jupiter are similar to Earth.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the solar system, Jupiter, the one considered as the largest planet, whose earth's mass seems to be more than 300 times, it is also the most massive. Its diameter plays a major role in the percentage of moons encircling Jupiter since it has a wide area of gravitational strength to support several moons around it.

The orbital periods which range from seven hours to roughly three Earth years in Jupiter's moons. A few of the orbits are almost circular, whereas the moons farthest from Jupiter are more uneven.

A dart gun suspended by strings hangs in equilibrium. The mass of the gun is 355 grams, not including a dart. The gun fires a 57
gogolik [260]

Answer:

dart's speed is 11.77 m/s

Explanation:

given data

mass of the gun m = 355 gram = 0.355 kg

height = 18.3 centimeters = 0.183 m

dart = 57.0 gram = 0.057 kg

to find out

dart's speed

solution

we apply here law of conservation of energy that is express as

mgh = 0.5 × m × v²      ...........1

so speed of gun will be here as

V = \sqrt{2gh}     ..................2

V = \sqrt{2*9.8*0.183}

V =  1.89 m/s

and

now we find speed of dart by use law of conservation of momentum that is

M×V  = m×v         ...............3

so speed of the dart is

v = \frac{M*V}{m}

v =  \frac{0.355*1.89}{0.057}

v = 11.77 m/s

so dart's speed is 11.77 m/s

Why is there a difference between potential and kinetic energy?
inn [45]

Potential energy is stored energy because it has the potential to do something which laters turns into kinetic energy which is the moving energy.

standing side by side, you and a friend step off a bridge and fall for 1.6s to the water below. your friend goes first, and you
Andrew [12]

(a) The distance will be more than 2.0 meters.

In fact, you starts your fall after your friend has already fallen 2.0 meters. This means that your friend has already accelerated for a while, therefore his velocity will be greater than yours. But this statement will be actually true for the entire fall, since you has some delay, therefore when your friend will hit the water, the separation between you and him will be greater than the initial separation of 2.0 meters.


b) First of all we need to calculate the height of the bridge with respect to the water. We know that you take 1.6 s to fall down, therefore we can use the following equation:

S=\frac{1}{2}gt^2=\frac{1}{2}(9.81 m/s^2)(1.6s)^2=12.56 m

We know that your friend will take 1.6 s to falls down. Instead, you start your jump after he has already fallen 2.0 m, therefore after a time given by the equation:

S=\frac{1}{2}gt^2

Using S=2.0 m,

t=\sqrt{\frac{2S}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(2.0 m)}{9.81 m/s^2}}=0.64 s

So we know that you start your fall 0.64 s after your friend. Therefore, now we can find how much did you fall between the moment you started your fall (0.64 s) and the moment your friend hits the water (1.6 s). Using

t=1.6 s-0.64 s=0.96 s

we find

S=\frac{1}{2}gt^2=\frac{1}{2}(9.81 m/s^2)(0.96 s)^2 =4.52 m

So, when your friend hits the water, you just covered 4.52 m, while he already covered 12.56 m. Therefore, the separation between you and your friend is more than 2 meters.

What is the internal energy of 4.50 mol of N2 gas at 253°C? To solve this
Finger [1]

The internal energy of the gas is 49,200 J

Explanation:

The internal energy of a diatomic gas, such as N_2, is given by

U=\frac{5}{2}nRT

where

n is the number of moles

R is the gas constant

T is the absolute temperature of the gas

For the gas in this problem, we have:

n = 4.50 (number of moles)

R = 8.31 J/(mol·K) (gas constant)

T=253^{\circ} + 273 = 526 K (absolute temperature)

Substituting, we find:

U=\frac{5}{2}(4.50)(8.31)(526)=49,200 J
