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.

Consider a block on frictionless ice. Starting from rest, the block travels a distance din
sweet [91]

Answer:

<em>The distance is now 4d</em>

Explanation:

<u>Mechanical Force</u>

According to the second Newton's law, the net force exerted by an external agent on an object of mass m is:

F = m.a

Where a is the acceleration of the object.

The acceleration can be calculated by solving for a:

\displaystyle a=\frac{F}{m}

Once we know the acceleration, we can calculate the distance traveled by the block as follows:

\displaystyle d = vo.t+\frac{at^2}{2}

If the block starts from rest, vo=0:

\displaystyle d = \frac{at^2}{2}

Substituting the value of the acceleration:

\displaystyle d = \frac{\frac{F}{m}t^2}{2}

Simplifying:

\displaystyle d = \frac{Ft^2}{2m}

When a force F'=4F is applied and assuming the mass is the same, the new acceleration is:

\displaystyle a'=\frac{4F}{m}

And the distance is now:

\displaystyle d' = \frac{4Ft^2}{2m}

Dividing d'/d:

\displaystyle \frac{d' }{d}=\frac{\frac{4Ft^2}{2m}}{\frac{Ft^2}{2m}}

Simplifying:

\displaystyle \frac{d' }{d}=4

Thus:

d' = 4d

The distance is now 4d

What is the focal length of the eye-lens system when viewing an object at infinity? assume that the lens-retina distance is 2.0
34kurt
The focal length of the eye-lens system will be exactly 2.0 cm. The lens thickness is altered depending on the distance of the object being viewed so that the focal length is ALWAYS equal to the lens-retina distance. If this is not true fr an individual, they need glasses :)
