What separates the terrestrial planets from the jovian or gas planets in space?

1 answer:

8 0

In our solar system, terrestrial planets are separated from the gas giants by the asteroid belt. The asteroid belt is a region in the solar system between Mars and Jupiter where asteroids are located. Gas giants do not have a solid surface and possible a small rocky core. The gas giants are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The first four planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.

Answer:

$v_a=0.8176 m/s$

$\Delta K=0.07969 J - 0.0849 J = -0.00521 J$

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of linear momentum, the total momentum of both pucks won't be changed regardless of their interaction if no external forces are acting on the system.

Being $m_a$ and $m_b$ the masses of pucks a and b respectively, the initial momentum of the system is

$M_1=m_av_a+m_bv_b$

Since b is initially at rest

$M_1=m_av_a$

After the collision and being $v'_a$ and $v'_b$ the respective velocities, the total momentum is

$M_2=m_av'_a+m_bv'_b$

Both momentums are equal, thus

$m_av_a=m_av'_a+m_bv'_b$

Solving for $v_a$

$v_a=\frac{m_av'_a+m_bv'_b}{m_a}$

$v_a=\frac{0.254Kg\times (-0.123 m/s)+0.367Kg (0.651m/s)}{0.254Kg}$

$v_a=0.8176 m/s$

The initial kinetic energy can be found as (provided puck b is at rest)

$K_1=\frac{1}{2}m_av_a^2$

$K_1=\frac{1}{2}(0.254Kg) (0.8176m/s)^2=0.0849 J$

The final kinetic energy is

$K_2=\frac{1}{2}m_av_a'^2+\frac{1}{2}m_bv_b'^2$

$K_2=\frac{1}{2}0.254Kg (-0.123m/s)^2+\frac{1}{2}0.367Kg (0.651m/s)^2=0.07969 J$

The change of kinetic energy is

$\Delta K=0.07969 J - 0.0849 J = -0.00521 J$

can you help me create a sketch of two different objects with one that has a greater density than the other?

sergey [27]

I don't know how good you are at sketching ... I'm terrible.
But you can put the point across in a dramatic way if you
can sketch a bowling ball and a basketball ... you'll need
to clearly identify them with the markings you sketch on
each ball.

They're the same shape and nearly the same size, but
there's a huge difference in their densities.

Two college teams, A and B, are playing a game of tug of war. Team A applies a force of 103 newtons, but the rope does not move

Kipish [7]

Given that the rope is not moving (acceleration is zero), by the second Law of Newton (F=m*a), the net force acting on the rope is zero.

Then, the force applied by the team B equals the force applied by the tema A: 103 N.

$\large\mathcal{ANSWER:}$

B. Atom

_____

<u>Atom</u> is the smallest, <u>indivisible unit of a chemical</u> <u>element and the fundamental unit of matter</u>. It consists of a nucleus (neutrons + protons) surrounded by an electron cloud. The <u>atom</u> is the smallest unit of matter that cannot be divided chemically and is a building block with its own set of properties.
