The atmosphere of Jupiter is essentially made up of hydrogen, H2. For H2, the specific gas constant is 4157 J/(kg K). The accele

ration of gravity of Jupiter is 24.9 m/s2 . Assuming an isothermal atmosphere with a temperature of 150 K and assuming that Jupiter has a definable surface, calculate the altitude above that surface where the pressure is one-half the surface pressure

Answer:

h=17357.9m

Explanation:

The atmospheric pressure is just related to the weight of an arbitrary column of gas in the atmosphere above a given area. So, if you are higher in the atmosphere less gass will be over you, which means you are bearing less gas and the pressure is less.

To calculate this, you need to use the barometric formula:

P=P_0e^{-\frac{Mg}{RT}h}

Where R is the gas constant, M the molar mass of the gas, g the acceleration of gravity, T the temperature and h the height.

Furthermore, the specific gas constant is defined by:

R_{H_2}=\frac{R}{M}

Therefore yo can write the barometric formula as:

P=P_0e^{-\frac{g}{R_{H_2}T}h}

at the surface of the planet (h =0) the pressure is P_0[\tex]. The pressure at the height requested is half of that:[tex]P=\frac{P_0}{2}

applying to the previuos equation:

\frac{P_0}{2} =P_0e^{-\frac{g}{R_{H_2}T}h}

solving for h:

h=17357.9m

Which statements provides evidence that the earth revolves around the sun
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

Different star constellations are visible from Earth at different seasons of the year.

Explanation:

The reason the fact that we can see different constellations in the sky during different seasons on earth is the most compelling reason we travel around the sun is because if the sun travelled around the earth, certain constellations would only be visible in certain places. You’d have to travel to see certain ones.

However, you don’t have to do that because we travel around the sun, therefore travelling around other stars too.

Why is salt water a better conductor of electricity than river water?
Tamiku [17]

Answer: The conductivity of water depends on the concentration of dissolved ions in solution. ... This is because the Sodium Chloride salt dissociates into ions. Hence sea water is about a million times more conductive than fresh water.

Two large non-conducting plates of surface area A = 0.25 m 2 carry equal but opposite charges What is the energy density of the
Stells [14]

Answer:

5.1*10^3 J/m^3

Explanation:

Using E = q/A*eo

And

q =75*10^-6 C

A = 0.25

eo = 8.85*10^-12

Energy density = 1/2*eo*(E^2) = 1/2*eo*(q/A*eo)^2 = [q^2] / [2*(A^2)*eo]

= [(75*10^-6)^2] / [2*(0.25)^2*8.85*10^-12]

= 5.1*10^3 J/m^3

Use the terms "force", "weight", "mass", and "inertia" to explain why it is easier to tackle a 220 lb football player than a 288
Tomtit [17]
<span><u>Answer </u>
The mass of 220 lb football has less than 288 lb football. So, it will be easier to move it since it will require less force. The heavy football will have a bigger momentum. Since 288 lb has more weight than 220 lb, it will have bigger inertia making it difficult for the players to stop it.
This makes it easier to tackle 220 lb football than 288 lb football.
