Use Newton's universal law of gravitation to explain why gravity is greater on Earth than on Mercury.

Physics

kotykmax [81]3 years ago

Its because the attraction force that pulls objects together increases the heavier the objects are. Since Mercury is much smaller and consequently lighter than earth, it's attraction to an object on the planets surface would be less than if that same object were found on earth. So it's "gravity acceleration" would be less than earth's 9.8m/s^2

1. Why did Asteroid 2019 OK cause concern among scientists? * The asteroid was not detected until it was extremely close to Eart
AveGali [126]

Answer:

<u>The asteroid was not detected until it was extremely close to Earth. </u>

Explanation:

According to data from NASA, the Asteroid named 'Astriod 2019 OK', was detected when it was extremely close to earth with just about an estimated distance of  73,000 kilometers  (45,000 miles) from the Earth.

Scientists were concerned at the proximity of this space object to the Earth before it was discovered, and it brought about a cause of concern that since it was not extremely large (estimated 57 to 130 meters wide) it creates a potential for other smaller asteroids to escape detection and struck the earth.

What is the fate of solar radiation that reaches the earth?
expeople1 [14]
When solar radiation reaches the Earth it quickly dissipates as most of the radiation and UV rays are blocked by ozone layer, but more radiation and UV rays are able to get through because of global warming.

Using equations, determine the temperature, pressure and density of the air for a aircraft flying at 19.5 km. Is this aircraft s
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

a) - 72.5°c

b) pressure = 3625.13 Pa

c) density =  0.063 kg/m^3

d) it is a subsonic aircraft

Explanation:

a) Determine Temperature

Temperature at 19.5 km ( 19500 m )

T = -131 + ( 0.003 * altitude in meters )

  =  -131 + ( 0.003 * 19500 ) = - 72.5°c

b) Determine pressure and density at 19.5 km altitude

Given :

Po (atmospheric pressure at sea level )  = 101kpa

R ( gas constant of air ) = 0.287 KJ/Kgk

T = -72.5°c ≈ 200.5 k

pressure = 3625.13 Pa

hence density = 0.063 kg/m^3

attached below is the remaining part of the solution

C) determine if the aircraft is subsonic or super sonic

Velocity ( v ) = \sqrt{CRT}  =  \sqrt{1.4*287*200.5 } = 283.8 m/s

hence it is a subsonic aircraft
