Why are there temperature differences on the moon's surface even though there is no atmosphere present?

Physics
1 answer:
nika2105 [10]3 years ago

The lack of an atmosphere means convection cannot happen on the moon. Therefore, there is no form of heat dissipation on regions in direct sunlight. In addition, the lack of an atmosphere means there is no greenhouse effect on the moon. This is why regions facing away from sunlight are very cold.

A 1.25-kg ball begins rolling from rest with constant angular acceleration down a hill. If it takes 3.60 s for it to make the fi
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

The time taken is  \Delta t  = 1.5 \ s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mass of the ball is  m =  1.25 \ kg

    The time taken to make the first complete revolution is  t= 3.60 s

    The displacement of the first complete revolution is  \theta  =  1 rev  =  2 \pi \  radian

Generally the displacement for one  complete revolution is mathematically represented as

       \theta =  w_i t  +  \frac{1}{2} *  \alpha  * t^2

Now given that the stone started from rest w_i  = 0 \ rad / s

     2 \pi =0   +  0.5*  \alpha  *(3.60)^2

     \alpha   =  0.9698 \  s

Now the displacement for two  complete revolution is

         \theta_2  =  2 *  2\pi

         \theta_2  = 4\pi

Generally the displacement for two complete revolution is mathematically represented as  

     4 \pi =   0  +  0.5 * 0.9698 * t^2

=>   t^2  =  25.9187

=>   t=  5.1 \ s

So

 The  time taken to complete the next oscillation is mathematically evaluated as

     \Delta t  =  t_2  - t

substituting values

      \Delta t  = 5.1 -  3.60

     \Delta t  = 1.5 \ s

An electron enters the gap between the plates of a capacitor at the center of the gap traveling parallel to theplates at 2.0 x 1
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

How far will the electron travel beforehitting a plate is 248.125mm

Explanation:

Applying Gauss' law:

Electric Field E = Charge density/epsilon nought

Where charge density=1.0 x 10^-6C/m2 & epsilon nought= 8.85× 10^-12

Therefore E = 1.0 x 10^-6/8.85× 10^-12

E= 1.13×10^5N/C

Force on electron F=qE

Where q=charge of electron=1.6×10^-19C

Therefore F=1.6×10^-19×1.13×10^5

F=1.808×10^-14N

Acceleration on electron a = Force/Mass

Where Mass of electron = 9.10938356 × 10^-31

Therefore a= 1.808×10^-14 /9.11 × 10-31

a= 1.985×10^16m/s^2

Time spent between plate = Distance/Speed

From the question: Distance=1cm=0.01m and speed = 2×10^6m/s^2

Therefore Time = 0.01/2×10^6

Time =5×10^-9s

How far the electron would travel S =ut+ at^2/2 where u=0

S= 1.985×10^16×(5×10^-9)^2/2

S=24.8125×10^-2m

S=248.125mm
