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

Answer:

a. A = 0.735 m

b. T = 0.73 s

c. ΔE = 120 J decrease

d. The missing energy has turned into interned energy in the completely inelastic collision

Explanation:

a.

4 kg * 10 m /s + 6 kg * 0 m/s = 10 kg* vmax

vmax = 4.0 m/s

¹/₂ * m * v²max = ¹/₂ * k * A²

m * v² = k * A²  ⇒ 10 kg * 4 m/s = 100 N/m * A²

A = √1.6 m ² = 1.26 m

At = 2.0 m - 1.26 m = 0.735 m

b.

T = 2π * √m / k ⇒ T = 2π * √4.0 kg / 100 N/m = 1.26 s

T = 2π *√ 10 / 100 *s² = 1.99 s

T = 1.99 s -1.26 s = 0.73 s

c.

E = ¹/₂ * m * v²max =

E₁ = ¹/₂ * 4.0 kg * 10² m/s = 200 J

E₂ = ¹/₂ * 10 * 4² = 80 J

200 J - 80 J  = 120 J decrease

d.

The missing energy has turned into interned energy in the completely inelastic collision

What does special relativity reveal about the speed of light relative to its source?
Vladimir [108]

Regardless of the source's mobility, light travels at the same speed.

<h3>What makes special relativity so crucial?</h3>

In the calculating and interpretation of high-velocity phenomena, as well as on our methods of thinking, Einstein's special relativity has had a significant influence on the area of physics. Today, we have a considerably better knowledge of space and time than we did at the start of the century.

<h3>Why is special relativity thus named?</h3>

Because it exclusively uses inertial frames to apply the concept of relativity, the theory is known as "special". General relativity, which Einstein created, applies the principle broadly, that is, to any frame, and this theory takes the gravitational forces into account.
