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.

Answer:

a)   F = 3.2 10⁻¹⁰ N , b)       v = 9.9 10⁷ m / s

Explanation:

a) The electric force is

       F = q E

The electric field is related to the potential reference

     V = E d

     E = V / d

Let's replace

    F = e V / d

Let's calculate

    F = 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ 28 10³ / 1.4 10⁻²

    F = 3.2 10⁻¹⁰ N

b) For this part we can use kinematics

          v² = v₀ + 2 a d

          v = √ 2 ad

Acceleration can be found with Newton's second law

        e V / d = m a

        a = e / m V / d

        a = 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ / 9.1 10⁻³¹ 28 10³ / 1.4 10⁻²

        a = 3,516 10⁻¹⁷ m / s²

Let's calculate the speed

       v = √ (2 3,516 10¹⁷ 1.4 10⁻²)

       v = √ (98,448 10¹⁴)

       v = 9.9 10⁷ m / s

What mechanism of energy is transferred by mass motion of fluid from one region of space to another?​
lora16 [44]
Convection, because it is the process of heat transfer from one location to the next by the movement of fluids. The moving fluid carries energy within it.
