Io experiences tidal heating primarily because __________.

Physics
1 answer:
Inga [223]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

the orbit of Io around Jupiter causes the tidal heating.

Explanation:

Io's elliptical orbit causes the tidal force to vary as it orbits Jupiter.

Because Jupiter is a very massive planet, it has a very large gravitational pull on its moons, so the side of Io facing the planet is experiencing a greater gravitational pull than the opposite side.  This causes a distortion in the shape of the Io, and a friction that causes the tidal heating.

This friction generates heat currents, which is what makes Io the place with the most volcanic activity in the solar system.

The hardest part of the job is to find the right formula to use, and write it down. You've already done that ! The rest is just turning the crank until an answer falls out.

You wrote. E = m g h.
Beautiful.
Now divide each side by (g h), and you'll have the formula for mass:

m = E / (g h).

You know all the numbers on the right side. Just pluggum in, do the arithmetic, and you'll have the mass.

Two identical conducting spheres are placed 80.0 cm apart. One is given a charge of 5.8 C and the other is given a charge of 6.4
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer: 5.214(10)^{11} N

Explanation:

According to <u>Coulomb's Law:</u>  

<em>"The electrostatic force F_{E} between two point charges q_{1} and q_{2} is proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance d that separates them, and has the direction of the line that joins them".</em>

<em />

Mathematically this law is written as:

F_{E}=K\frac{q_{1}.q_{2}}{d^{2}}  

Where:

F_{E}  is the electrostatic force

K=8.99(10)^{9} Nm^{2}/C^{2} is the Coulomb's constant  

q_{1}=5.8 C and q_{2}=6.4 C are the electric charges

d=80 cm \frac{1 m}{100 cm}=0.8 m is the separation distance between the charges

Solving:

F_{E}=8.99(10)^{9} Nm^{2}/C^{2}\frac{(5.8 C)(6.4 C)}{(0.8 m)^{2}}  

F_{E}=5.214(10)^{11} N

A toy balloon contains 0.75 L of helium at a pressure of 101 kPa. The balloon rises until the pressure on the balloon is 85 kPa.
Aleksandr [31]

<h3>The answer is 0.89 L</h3>

Explanation:

The new volume can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is

P_1V_1 = P_2V_2

Since we are finding the new volume

V_2 =  \frac{P_1V_1}{P_2}  \\

From the question we have

V_2 =  \frac{101000 \times 0.75}{85000}  =  \frac{75750}{85000}  \\  = 0.89117647...

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.89 L</h3>

Hope this helps you
