Answer: The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

Weight = Mass × Acceleration

Let the mass of the space probe be m

Acceleration due to gravity on the earth = g

Weight of the space probe on earth = W

W=m\times g

Acceleration due to gravity on the Jupiter = g' = 2.5g

Weight of the space probe on earth = W'

W'=mg'=m\times 2.5g

\frac{W'}{W}=\frac{m\times 2.5g}{m\times g}

W'=2.5\times W

The weight of the space probe on the Jupiter will be 2.5 times the weight of the space probe on earth.

Hence, the correct answer is option C.

How does the configuration of the electric field occur between a "parallel plate" setup in a lab?What is the effect of conductor
sleet_krkn [62]

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electric field between the plates is given by

E = -ΔV/d

minus sign indicates Potential decreases in the direction of electric field

where

ΔV is the potential difference between the plates

D is the distance between the plates.

The work done when carrying an electrical charge on an equipotential surface between one position to the other is zero W= q(V-V)=0 The electric field lines of force are always perpendicular to an equipotential surface.  That conductor in an equipotential surface as direction E is at right angles to an eauipotential surface The intensity of the electric field along an equipotential surface is always zero. Equipotential surfaces never collide with each other as this would mean that at that point, there are two alternative values that are not true.

Because of interstellar dust, astronomers can see at most about 5 kpc into the disk of the galaxy at visual wavelengths. What pe
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

96%

Explanation

Let A the total area of the galaxy, is modeled as a disc:

A = πR^2 = π (25 kpc)^2

And let a be the area that astronomers are able to see:

a = πr^2 = π(5 kpc)^2

The percentage that can be seen is equal to 100 times the ratio of the areas, of the galaxy and the "visible" part:

P = 100 a/A = (5/25)^2 = 100/25 = 4%

Therefore, the percentage of the galaxy not included, i.e. not seen is:

(100-4)% = 96%

Which scientific activities will Juno conduct on its trip to Jupiter? Check all that apply.
Arisa [49]

Explanation:

Hope this helps,

Juno entered a polar orbit of Jupiter on July 5th 2016 UTC, to begin a scientific investigation of the planet. After completing its mission, Juno will be intentionally deorbited into Jupiters atmosphere. Junos mission is to measure Jupiters composition, gravitational field, magnetic field, and polar magnetosphere.
