Time period of any moon of Jupiter is given by

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{r^3}{GM}}

from above formula we can say that mass of Jupiter is given by

M = \frac{4 \pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}

now for part a)

r = 4.22 * 10^8 m

T = 1.77 day = 152928 seconds

now by above formula

M = \frac{4 \pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}

M = \frac{4 \pi^2 (4.22 * 10^8)^3}{(6.67 * 10^{-11})(152928)^2}

M = 1.9* 10^{27} kg

Part B)

r = 6.71 * 10^8 m

T = 3.55 day = 306720 seconds

now by above formula

M = \frac{4 \pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}

M = \frac{4 \pi^2 (6.71 * 10^8)^3}{(6.67 * 10^{-11})(306720)^2}

M = 1.9* 10^{27} kg

Part c)

r = 10.7 * 10^8 m

T = 7.16 day = 618624 seconds

now by above formula

M = \frac{4 \pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}

M = \frac{4 \pi^2 (10.7 * 10^8)^3}{(6.67 * 10^{-11})(618624)^2}

M = 1.89* 10^{27} kg

PART D)

r = 18.8 * 10^8 m

T = 16.7 day = 1442880 seconds

now by above formula

M = \frac{4 \pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}

M = \frac{4 \pi^2 (18.8 * 10^8)^3}{(6.67 * 10^{-11})(1442880)^2}

M = 1.889* 10^{27} kg

As 390 g of hot milk cools in a mug, it transfers 30,000 J of heat to the environment. What is the temperature change of the mil
kotykmax [81]
The correct answer is 19.72 °C. The first step is to determine the amount of heat that was lost per gram (30,000 J) / (390 g) = 76.92 J/g. Then to determine the temperature change, divide 76.92 J/g with the given specific heat of milk (76.92 J/g) / (3.9 J/g°C) = 19.72 °C.

An open train car moves with speed 18.5 m/s on a flat frictionless railroad track, with no engine pulling the car. It begins to
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

The speed decreases.

Explanation:

This can be explained using the conservation of linear momentum.

Since there is no friction, the initial moment of the train must be equal to its linear moment after it is filled with water.

the initial linear momentum is

m_{1}v_{1}

where m_{1} is the initial mass of the train, and v_{1} the initial speed of the train.

And linear momentum after the water filled the train car is

m_{2}v_{2}

where m_{2} is mass of the train after the  rain, and v_{2} the speed of the train after the rain

<u>the equality must be fulfilled:</u>

m_{1}v_{1}=m_{2}v_{2}

We know that if water is added to the train, m_{2} that is the mass after the water is added, is greater than m_{1} which is the mass of the train without the water.

Therefore, in order for the conservation of the linear momentum to be fulfilled: m_{1}v_{1}=m_{2}v_{2}

the speed after the water is added (v_{2} ) must be smaller than the initial train speed (v_{1} ) . So the speed of the car decreases.

Describe the relationship between the Law of Conservation of Matter and balancing equations.
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

The mass of the products and reactants are the same on both sides of the equation.

The number of atoms of products and reactants are equal and hence it proves the law of conservation of mass.

GarryVolchara [31]
From the first law of thermodynamics, we use the equation expressed as:

ΔH = Q + W

where Q is the heat absorbed of the system and W is the work done.

We calculate as follows:

ΔH = Q + W
ΔH = 829 J + 690 J = 1519 J

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

FinnZ [79.3K]

The distance is 28 meters, and the displacement is -4.

For the distance it would be 12 + 16 = 28.

For the displacement it would be 12 - 16 = -4.

would really appreciate a brainliest! Hope this helped!
