Ganymede is the largest satellite in our solar system. It is larger
than Mercury and Pluto, and three-quarters the size of Mars.

==> If Ganymede orbited the sun instead of orbiting Jupiter, it would
easily be classified as a planet.

A sculpture is suspended in equilibrium by two cables, one from a wall and the other
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

T_1=6655.295917 \approx 6655.3N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Angle of cable 2 \theta=37.0\textdegree

Weight of sculpture W=5000 N

Generally the Tension from cable 2 T_2 is mathematically given by

   T_2sin37\textdegree=5000N

   T_2=5000N/sin37\textdegree

   T_2=8308.2N

Generally the Tension from Cable 1 T_1 is mathematically given by

   T_1=T_2 cos37\textdegree

   T_1=8308.2* cos 37\textdegree

   T_1=6655.295917 \approx 6655.3N

A. What is the RMS speed of Helium atoms when the temperature of the Helium gas is 343.0 K? (Possibly useful constants: the atom
kkurt [141]

Answer:

(a) 1462.38 m/s

(b) 2068.13 m/s

Explanation:

(a)

The Kinetic energy of the atom can be given as:

K.E = (3/2)KT

where,

K = Boltzman's Constant = 1.38 x 10⁻²³ J/k

K.E = Kinetic Energy of atoms = 343 K

T = absolute temperature of atoms

The K.E is also given as:

K.E = (1/2)mv²

Comparing both equations:

(1/2)mv² = (3/2)KT

v² = 3KT/m

v = √[3KT/m]

where,

m = mass of Helium = (4 A.M.U)(1.66 X 10⁻²⁷ kg/ A.M.U) = 6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

v = RMS Speed of Helium Atoms = ?

Therefore,

v = √[(3)(1.38 x 10⁻²³ J/K)(343 K)/(6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ kg)]

<u>v = 1462.38 m/s</u>

(b)

For double temperature:

T = 2 x 343 K = 686 K

all other data remains same:

v = √[(3)(1.38 x 10⁻²³ J/K)(686 K)/(6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ kg)]

<u>v = 2068.13 m/s</u>

When water changes into vapor this is called?
Scorpion4ik [409]

When water changes into vapor, it is called evaporation.  BONUS:  This is formed by the boiling point of water, which is 230°F (Fahrenheit) or 110°C (Celsius).

How many turns are in its secondary coil, if its input voltage is 120 V and the primary coil has 210 turns
Tasya [4]

Complete Question

How many turns are in its secondary coil, if its input voltage is 120 V and the primary coil has 210 turns.

The output from the secondary coil is  12 V

Answer:

The value  is  N_s  =  21 \  turns

Explanation:

From the equation we are told that

   The input voltage is  V_{in}  = 120 \ V

   The number of turns of the primary coil is N_p =  210 \  turn

    The output from the secondary is V_o =  12V

From the transformer equation

   \frac{N_p}{V_{in}}  =\frac{N_s}{V_o}

Here N_s is the number of turns in the secondary coil

=> N_s  =  \frac{N_p}{V_{in}}  *  V_s

=>N_s  =  \frac{210}{120}  *  12

=>N_s  =  21 \  turns
