The seasons are caused by the tilt of the Earth's rotational axis away or toward the sun at it travels through its year long pat around the sun.

The planet Uranus has a radius of 25,360 km and a surface acceleration due to gravity of 9.0 m/s^2 at its poles. Its moon Mirand

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

$8.67791\times 10^{25}\ kg$

$0.34589\ m/s^2$

$0.07903\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

M = Mass of Uranus

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

r = Radius of Uranus = 25360 km

h = Altitude = 104000 km

$r_m$ = Radius of Miranda = 236 km

m = Mass of Miranda = $6.6\times 10^{19}\ kg$

Acceleration due to gravity is given by

$g=\dfrac{GM}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow M=\dfrac{gr^2}{G}\\\Rightarrow M=\dfrac{9\times 25360000^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}}\\\Rightarrow M=8.67791\times 10^{25}\ kg$

The mass of Uranus is $8.67791\times 10^{25}\ kg$

Acceleration is given by

$a_m=\dfrac{GM}{(r+h)^2}\\\Rightarrow a_m=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 8.67791\times 10^{25}}{(25360000+104000000)^2}\\\Rightarrow a_m=0.34589\ m/s^2$

Miranda's acceleration due to its orbital motion about Uranus is $0.34589\ m/s^2$

On Miranda

$g_m=\dfrac{Gm}{r_m^2}\\\Rightarrow g_m=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 6.6\times 10^{19}}{236000^2}\\\Rightarrow g_m=0.07903\ m/s^2$

Acceleration due to Miranda's gravity at the surface of Miranda is $0.07903\ m/s^2$

No, both the objects will fall towards Uranus. Also, they are not stationary.

Before radiant energy can be converted to thermal energy,it must be changed to what

vivado [14]

Answer:

The radiant energy is converted into electronic energy before it is transformed into thermal energy.

Explanation:

Radiant energy occurs in the form of "Electromagnetic radiation" and it can pass through all types of matter travelling through the universe. There are numerous advantages of radiant energy. When the radiant energy is incident upon a substance the energy from the sun light excites the electrons in the atom. This sets the atoms in vibrational motion.

Thermal energy is the kinetic energy of moving particles. The thermal energy increases with increase in movement and number of moving particles. When the atoms make a transition from electronically excited state to vibrational state, the energy transfer increases the temperature of the substance. This is felt as thermal energy. Hence, the radiant energy is changed into "electronic energy" before it is converted into "thermal energy".

What is primary succession?

dangina [55]

Answer:

Primary succession is one of two types of biological and ecological succession of plant life, occurring in an environment in which new substrate devoid of vegetation and other organisms usually lacking soil, such as a lava flow or area left from retreated glacier, is deposited.
