7.Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system at nearly 11 times the size of Earth and 317 times its mass.
When we look at Jupiter, we're actually seeing the outermost layer of its clouds.
The Great Red Spot is a storm in Jupiter's southern hemisphere with crimson-colored clouds that spin counterclockwise at wind speeds
8. 58,232 km
The second largest planet in the solar system
Surface. As a gas giant, Saturn doesn't have a true surface. The planet is mostly swirling gases and liquids deeper down.
Saturn's rings are thought to be pieces of comets, asteroids or shattered moons that broke up before they reached the planet,
9. Unlike the other planets of the solar system, Uranus is tilted so far that it essentially orbits the sun on its side, with the axis of its spin nearly pointing at the star.
Uranus' atmosphere is mostly hydrogen and helium, with a small amount of methane and traces of water and ammonia.
As an ice giant, Uranus doesn't have a true surface. The planet is mostly swirling fluids. While a spacecraft would have nowhere to land on Uranus, it wouldn't be able to fly through its atmosphere unscathed either. The extreme pressures and temperatures would destroy a metal spacecraft.
10. 24,622 km
Neptune has an average temperature of -353 Fahrenheit (-214 Celsius).
Neptune's atmosphere is made up mostly of hydrogen and helium with just a little bit of methane.
Answer: The distance is 723.4km
Explanation:
The velocity of the transverse waves is 8.9km/s
The velocity of the longitudinal wave is 5.1 km/s
The transverse one reaches 68 seconds before the longitudinal.
if the distance is X, we know that:
X/(9.8km/s) = T1
X/(5.1km/s) = T2
T2 = T1 + 68s
Where T1 and T2 are the time that each wave needs to reach the sesmograph.
We replace the third equation into the second and get:
X/(9.8km/s) = T1
X/(5.1km/s) = T1 + 68s
Now, we can replace T1 from the first equation into the second one:
X/(5.1km/s) = X/(9.8km/s) + 68s
Now we can solve it for X and find the distance.
X/(5.1km/s) - X/(9.8km/s) = 68s
X(1/(5.1km/s) - 1/(9.8km/s)) = X*0.094s/km= 68s
X = 68s/0.094s/km = 723.4 km
Answer: 91.4 J
Explanation:
Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body due to virtue of its motion.
K.E. = 0.5 m v²
Mass of the continent is given, m = 1.819 × 10²¹ kg
Side of the block of continent, s = 4150 km = 4150000 m
Depth of the block of continent, d = 38 km = 38000 m
(Mass = density × volume
m = 2780 kg/m³× (4150 × 10³ m)²× 38 × 10³ m = 1.819 × 10²¹ kg)
The continent is moving at the rate of, v = 1 cm /year = 0.01 m / 31556926 s = 3.17 × 10⁻¹⁰ m/s
⇒ K.E. = 0.5 × 1.819 × 10²¹ kg × (3.17 × 10⁻¹⁰ m/s)²= 91.4 J
Hence, mass of the continent has 91.4 J of kinetic energy.
