Answer:

Because of immense gravity

Explanation:

The formation of the Solar system was a very dynamic process. A lot of matter was thrown towards the outer solar system which further formed the Gas giants: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The size of these outer planets is huge so is their gravity.

Because of their huge gravity a lot of matter which was scattered in the outer solar system got attracted towards them. This matter is what make the rings of the outer planets. Also, because of immense gravity they captured larger bodies thus making them their Moons.

An electric motor rotating a workshop grinding wheel at a rate of 151 rev/min is switched off. Assume constant angular decelerat

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

Explanation:

Initial angular velocity ω₀ = 151 x 2π / 60

= 15.8 rad /s

final velocity = 0

Angular deceleration α = 2.23 rad / s

ω² = ω₀² - 2 α θ

0 = 15.8² - 2 x 2.23 θ

= 55.99 rad

one revolution = 2π radian

55.99 radian = 55.99 / 2 π no of terns

= 9 approx .

A system of ideal gas at 22°C undergoes an ischoric process with an internal energy decrease of 4.30 × 10 3 4.30×103 J to a fina

Komok [63]

Answer:

The approximate change in entropy is -14.72 J/K.

Explanation:

Given that,

Temperature = 22°C

Internal energy $U=4.30\times10^{3}\ J$

Final temperature = 16°C

We need to calculate the approximate change in entropy

Using formula of the entropy

$\Delta S=\dfrac{\Delta U}{T}$

Where, $\Delta U$ = internal energy

T = average temperature

Put the value in to the formula

$\Delta S=\dfrac{-4.30\times10^{3}}{\dfrac{22+273+16+273}{2}}$

$\Delta S=-14.72\ J/K$

Hence, The approximate change in entropy is -14.72 J/K.

A student has a rectangular block. It is 2 cm wide, 2 cm tall, and 25 cm long. It has a mass of 600 g. First, calculate the volu

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

6g/cm³

Explanation:

Density is the mass per unit volume of any substance. To solve this problem:

Density = $\frac{mass}{volume}$

Since mass = 600g

Let us find the volume;

Volume = length x width x height

Volume = 25cm x 2cm x 2cm = 100cm³

Therefore;

Density = $\frac{600}{100}$ = 6g/cm³
