Why are jovian planets so much larger than terrestrial planets?

Physics

Nataly [62]3 years ago

Explanation:

The temperature in the inner solar system was too high for light gases to condense, while in the outer solar system, the temperature was much lower, which allowed the Jovian planets to form, which grew enough to accumulate and retain the hydrogen gas that remained in the solar nebula, which led to its high levels of hydrogen and large size.

Find the impulse a 1500 kg car experiences slowing down from 40m/s to 10m/s?

Kitty [74]

Answer: - 45000 N.s

Explanation: Impulse is equal to the change in momentum

J = Δp

To solve for impulse we calculate the change in momentum

Δp = m ( Δv)

= 1500 kg ( 10 m/s - 40 m/s)

= - 45000 N.s

The mass of a ship before launch is 55,000 metric tons. The ship is launched down a ramp and drops a total of 10 vertical meters

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

ΔT = 17.11 °C

Explanation:

In this case, we have a ship standing on a place with a given mass and it's about to be launched to a lock containing water.

At first, before launch, the ship has a potential energy, and when the ship hits the water after being launched, this potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy.

So, let's calculate first the potential energy of the ship:

E = mgh (1)

We have the mass, gravity and height, so we need to replace the given data here. Before we do that, let's remember to use the correct units. A ton is 1000 kg, so replacing and converting we have:

E = (55000 ton * 1000 kg/ton) * (9.8 m/s²) * 10 m

E = 5.39x10⁹ J

Now this energy will be the same when the ship hits the water, only that is kinetic energy that will result in the rise of temperature. To get this rise we use the following expression:

E = m * C * ΔT (2)

We have the energy, the mass of water (assuming density of water as 1 kg/m³) and the specific heat, so, replacing in (2) and solving for ΔT we have:

ΔT = E / m * C (3)

ΔT = 5.39x10⁹ / 4200 * 75000

Hope this helps

You are designing a ski jump ramp for the next Winter Olympics. You need to calculate the vertical height (h) from the starting

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

h = 50.49 m

Explanation:

Data provided:

Speed of skier, u = 2.0 m/s

Maximum safe speed of the skier, v = 30.0 m/s

Mass of the skier, m = 85.0

Total work = 4000 J

Height from the starting gate = h

Now, from the law of conservation of energy

Total energy at the gate = total energy at the time maximum speed is reached

$\frac{1}{2}mu^2+mgh=4000J+\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where, g is the acceleration due to the gravity

on substituting the values, we get

$\frac{1}{2}\times85\times2.0^2+85\times9.81\times h=4000J+\frac{1}{2}\times85\times30^2$

170 + 833.85 × h = 4000 + 38250

h = 50.49 m
