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.

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

Total height (s) = 176.4 m

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Time taken (t) = 6 sec

Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Find:

Total height (s)

Computation:

s = ut + [1/2]gt²

s = (0)(6) + [1/2][9.8][6²]

s = 176.4 m

Total height (s) = 176.4 m

Why does the lens need to be thicker for viewing nearby objects?
Maurinko [17]

Answer: To focus on a near object – the lens becomes thicker, this allows the light rays to refract (bend) more strongly. To focus on a distant object – the lens is pulled thin, this allows the light rays to refract slightly.

Andreas93 [3]
<span>First of all, the maximum speed occurs when the object passes through the
 equilibrium position

The kinetic energy when the object has this max speed is

K= 1/2 * mass * (1.25 m/s)^2

The potential energy in the spring when the speed is equal to zero

U= 1/2 * k * xmax^2

The maximun force of the spring is

mass*acceleration = k*xmax

m * 6.89 m/s2 = k * xmax
xmax = 6.89* m / k

0.5 * m * 1.56  = 0.5 * k * xmax^2

</span>m * 1.56  =  k * (<span>6.89* m / k )^2 </span>
