Explanation:

There must be differences in temperature, pressure and composition within a liquid metal core inside the planet, since this produces a motion of the liquid metal, generating electric currents, which produce magnetic fields, that align, combining their effect to produce a large field Magnetic that envelops the planet.

A container in the shape of a cube 10.0 cm on each edge contains air (with equivalent molar mass 28.9 g/mol) at atmospheric pres

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

a) m = 1.174 grams

b) F_g = 0.01151 N

c) F_c = 1013 N

Explanation:

Given:

- The length of a cube L = 10.0 cm

- The molar mass of air M = 28.9 g/mol

- Pressure of air P = 101.3 KPa

- Temperature of air T = 300 K

- Universal Gas constant R = 8.314 J/kgK

Find:

(a) the mass of the gas

(b) the gravitational force exerted on it

(d) Why does such a small sample exert such a great force? (6%)

Solution:

- Compute the volume of the cube:

V = L^3 = 0.1^3 = 0.001 m^3

- Use Ideal gas law equation and compute number of moles of air n:

P*V = n*R*T

n = P*V / R*T

n = 101.3*10^3 * 0.001 / 8.314*300

n = 0.04061 moles

- Compute the mass of the gas:

m = n*M

m = 0.04061*28.9

m = 1.174 grams

- The gravitational force exerted on the mass of gas is due to its weight:

F_g = m*g

F_g = 1.174*9.81*10^-3

F_g = 0.01151 N

- The force exerted on each face of cube is due its surface area:

F_c = P*A

F_c = (101.3*10^3)*(0.1)^2

F_c = 1013 N

- The molecules of a gas have high kinetic energy; hence, high momentum. When they collide with the walls they transfer momentum per unit time as force. Higher the velocity of the particles higher the momentum higher the force exerted.

You hold your physics textbook in your hand. (Assume that no other objects are in contact with the book.)

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

1) the correct answer is b and d

2) For force b its direction is vertical up

for the force d its direction is vertical down

3) the correct answers are: a, c and d

4) Force a is vertical down , force c is vertical up and force d is vertical down

5) the correct answer which is b

Explanation:

In this exercise it is asked to identify the forces, fundamentally on the free there are the forces of gravity and the support force of the hand, with these facts we answer the questions

1) the correct answer is b and d

the hand acts on the book with a contact force and the Earth acts on the book with the force of gravity.

2) For force b its direction is vertical up

for the force d its direction is vertical down

3) The forces on the hand are the weight of the book. The force of gravity due to the mass of the hand. As the hand is in balance, there must be a force applied by the arm to keep the hand in position; assuming the hand is in the air, if the hand is resting on the floor the force of the floor on the hand can perform this function

therefore the correct answers are: a, c and d

4) Force a is vertical down

force c is vertical up

force d is vertical down

5) The action and reaction forces are forces of equal magnitude, each applied to one of the bodies, we have

* the force of the hand on the free and its reaction the force of the book on the hand

* The force of the Earth on the book and the hand, giving the weight of each one and the relationship is the force of the book and the hand on the Earth

the correct answer which is b

What type of planets does the asteroid belt orbit?

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

Main Asteroid Belt: The majority of known asteroids orbit within the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, generally with not very elongated orbits. The belt is estimated to contain between 1.1 and 1.9 million asteroids larger than 1 kilometer (0.6 mile) in diameter, and millions of smaller ones.

A torsion-bar spring consists of a prismatic bar, usually of round cross section, that is twisted at one end and held fast at th

ra1l [238]

Answer:

d₁ = 0.29 in

d₂ = 0.505 in

Explanation:

Given:

T = 1500 lbf in

L = 10 in

x = 0.5 L = 5 in

$T_{1} =\frac{T(L-x)}{L} =\frac{1500*(10-5)}{10} =750lbfin$

First case: T = T₁ + T₂

T₂ = T - T₁ = 1500 - 750 = 750 lbf in

If the shafts are in series:

θ = θ₁ + θ₂

θ = ((T₁ * L₁)/GJ) + ((T₂ * L₂)/GJ)

Second case: If d₁ ≠ d₂

θ = ((T₁ * L₁)/GJ₁) + ((T₂ * L₂)/GJ₂) = 0 (eq. 1)

t₁ = t₂

$\frac{16T_{1} }{\pi d_{1}^{3} } =\frac{16T_{2} }{\pi d_{2}^{3} }$ (eq. 2)

T₁ + T₂ = 1500 (eq. 3)

θ₁ first case = θ₁ second case

Replacing:

$\frac{750*5}{G(\frac{\pi }{32})*0.5^{4} } =\frac{T_{1}*3.7 }{G(\frac{\pi }{32})*d_{1} ^{4} }\\T_{1} =16216d_{1} ^{4}$

The same way to θ₂:

$\frac{750*5}{G(\frac{\pi }{32})*0.5^{4} } =\frac{T_{2}*6.3 }{G(\frac{\pi }{32})*d_{2} ^{4} } \\T_{2} =9523.8d_{2} ^{4}$

From equation 2, we have:

d₁ = 0.587 * d₂

From equation 3, we have:

d₂ = 0.505 in

d₁ = 0.29 in
