<span>Astronomers are able to determine facts about the composition of these moons by examining the nature of light that is reflected from their surfacy using a method called spectroscopy. This process works because different materials tend to reflect light at different wavelengths So, by observing at which wavelengths a planetary body reflects light, astronomers are able to estimate its composition.</span>

If you went to a planet that had the twice the radius as Earth, but the same mass, a 1 kg pineapple would have a weight of
kicyunya [14]

Use the law of universal gravitation, which says the force of gravitation between two bodies of mass <em>m</em>₁ and <em>m</em>₂ a distance <em>r</em> apart is

<em>F</em> = <em>G m</em>₁ <em>m</em>₂ / <em>r</em>²

where <em>G</em> = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg².

The Earth has a radius of about 6371 km = 6.371 x 10⁶ m (large enough for a pineapple on the surface of the earth to have an effective distance from the center of the Earth to be equal to this radius), and a mass of about 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg, so the force of gravitation between the pineapple and the Earth is

<em>F</em> = (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg²) (1 kg) (5.97 x 10²⁴ kg) / (6.371 x 10⁶ m)²

<em>F</em> ≈ 9.81 N

Notice that this is roughly equal to the weight of the pineapple on Earth, (1 kg)<em>g</em>, where <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity, so that [force of gravity] = [weight] on any given planet.

This means that on this new planet with twice the radius of Earth, the pineapple would have a weight of

<em>F</em> = <em>G m</em>₁ <em>m</em>₂ / (2<em>r</em>)² = 1/4 <em>G m</em>₁ <em>m</em>₂ / <em>r</em>²

i.e. 1/4 of the weight on Earth, which would be about 2.45 N.

An ideal refrigerator does 130. 0 j of work to remove 780. 0 j of heat from its cold compartment during each cycle. what is the
zheka24 [161]

The refrigerator's coefficient of performance is 6.

The heat extracted from the cold reservoir Q cold (i.e., inside a refrigerator) divided by the work W required to remove the heat is known as the coefficient of performance, or COP, of a refrigerator (i.e., the work done by the compressor). The required inside temperature and the outside temperature have a significant impact on the COP.

As the inside temperature of the refrigerator decreases, its coefficient of performance decreases. The coefficient of performance (COP) of refrigeration is always more than 1.

The heat produced in the cold compartment, H = 780.0 J

Work done in ideal refrigerator, W = 130.0 J

Refrigerator's coefficient of performance = H/W

                                                                     = 780/130

                                                                     = 6

Therefore, the refrigerator's coefficient of performance is 6.

Energy conservation requires the exhaust heat to be = 780 + 130

                                                                                          = 910 J
