Jupiter and Saturn each have the same three basic cloud layers, but the spacing of the layers differs on the two planets. Why is

this?
a. On Saturn, the "rain" of helium condensate has forced the lower layers downward, so they are more separated there.
b. Jupiter's greater gravity has compressed the layers, so they are closer together there.
c. Jupiter's greater rotation rate has flung the layers outward, so they are separated more there.
d. Jupiter's warmer temperature has expanded the atmosphere, so they are more separated there.

Answer:

b. Jupiter’s greater gravity has compressed the layers, so they are closer together there.

Explanation:

The value for Jupiter mass is 1.8981×10²⁷kg, while the mass of Saturn is 5.6832×10²⁶kg, so the different layers of clouds in Jupiter will be submitted to a greater gravitational pull because it has a bigger mass, as is established in the law of universal gravitation:

F = G\frac{m1m2}{r^{2}}   (1)

Where m1 and m2 are the masses of two objects, G is the gravitational constant and r is the distance between the two objects.

As it can be seen in equation 1, the gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the objects, so if the mass increase the gravitational force will do it too.  

For the case of Saturn, it has a lower mass so its layers of clouds will suffer a weaker gravitational pull. That leads to the three clouds being more spacing that the ones of Jupiter.

A toroidal coil of N turns has a central radius b and a square cross section of side a. Find its self-inductance.
Xelga [282]

Answer:

L = \frac{\mu_0 N^2 (a^2)}{2\pi b}

Explanation:

As we know that magnetic field due to torroid is given as

B = \frac{\mu_0 N i}{2\pi b}

this is approximately constant magnetic field along the axis of the torroid

now the flux linked with one coil of the torroid is given as

\phi = B.A

\phi = \frac{\mu_0 N i}{2\pi b}(a^2)

now total flux of N number of coils is given as

\phi_{total} = \frac{\mu_0 N^2 i(a^2)}{2\pi b}

now we know that self inductance is the property of coil in which flux of the coil will link with the current in the coil

So we know that

L = \frac{\phi}{i}

L = \frac{\mu_0 N^2 (a^2)}{2\pi b}

While standing at the edge of the roof of a building, a man throws a stone upward with an initial speed of 6.95 6.95 m/s. The st
qwelly [4]

Answer:

18.1347 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² = a

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{0^2-6.95^2}{2\times -9.81}\\\Rightarrow s=2.4619\ m

Total height the ball falls is 2.4619+14.3 = 16.7619 m

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2as+u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 16.7619+0^2}\\\Rightarrow v=18.1347\ m/s

The speed at which the stone reaches the ground is 18.1347 m/s

If the mass of a material is 47 grams and the volume of the material is 15 cm^3, what would the density of the material be?
uranmaximum [27]
Density is calculated as mass per unit volume. In this case, since the material has a mass of 47 grams and we have the volume of 15 cm^3, we can simply divide the values:
Density = 47 grams / 15 cm^3 = 3.1 g/cm^3
Therefore, the material has a density of 3.1 g/cm^3
