Answer:
1. about 1.5 AU
2. about 5 AU
3. about 8 light-years
4. about 100,000 light-years
5. less than 0.01 AU
Explanation:
a. Mars is about 1.5 AU from the Sun.
b. Jupiter is about 5 AU from the Sun.
c. The star Sirius is about 8 light-years from the Sun.
d. The diameter of the Milky Way Galaxy is about 100,000 light-years.
e. The distance from Earth to the Moon is less than 0.01 AU.
Note: AU is an acronym for Astronomical Unit and it is a standard unit by astronomers to illustrate the distance between the planetary bodies found in the solar system.
<u>We are given:</u>
Mass of Neptune = 1.03 * 10²⁶ kg
Distance from the center of Neptune (r) = 2.27 * 10⁷
now, computing the value of the acceleration due to gravity (g)
<u>Finding g:</u>
We know the formula:
g = G(mass of planet) / (r)²
g = [6.67 * 10⁻¹¹ * 1.03*10²⁶] / (2.27*10⁷) [since G is 6.67*10⁻¹¹]
g = (6.87 * 10¹⁵) / (5.15 * 10¹⁴)
which can be rewritten as:
g = (6.87 * 10¹⁵ * 10⁻¹⁴) / 5.15
g = (6.87 * 10¹⁵⁻¹⁴) / 5.15
g = (6.87/5.15) * 10
g = 1.34 * 10
g = 13.4 m/s² <em>(approx)</em>
Answer:
Option (C)
Explanation:
Einsteinium is an element of the periodic table grouped in the Actinide series, with atomic number 99. They are dense element and highly electro-positive. <u>They are highly radioactive</u>, i.e the atoms within the element are unstable and constantly decay until they reach a stable environment. It has 99 number of electrons and protons, 153 number of neutrons.
Due to its high radioactivity, they are health hazardous and can used in making nuclear weapons but their uses are very limited and unknown.
Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
Scalar quantity are physical quantities that have just magnitude, not direction.
- It is always positive.
- Examples: Speed, distance
A peak = A Rms x Sq root 2
Therefore 3.6 x sq root of 2
A peak = 5.09
