The existence of the dwarf planet Pluto was proposed based on irregularities in Neptune's orbit. Pluto was subsequently discover

ed near its predicted position. But it now appears that the discovery was fortuitous, since Pluto is small and the irregularities in Neptune's orbit were not well known. Answer the following to illustrate that Pluto has a minor effect on the orbit of Neptune compared with other planets. (a) Calculate the acceleration of gravity at Neptune due to Pluto when they are 3.2 1012 m apart. The mass of Pluto is 1.3 1022 kg. g1 = m/s2 (b) Calculate the acceleration of gravity at Neptune due to Uranus, when they are 3.2 1012 m apart. The mass of Uranus is 8.68 1025 kg. g2 = m/s2 (c) Give the ratio of this acceleration to that due to Pluto. g2 g1 =

Answer:

a) g1 = 8.467 10⁻¹⁴ m / s² , b)  g2 = 5.65 10⁻¹⁰ m / s² , c) g2 / g1 = 6.6 10³

Explanation:

a) for this we will use Newton's second law where force is the force of universal gravitation

         F = m a

        G m M / r² = m a

        a = g = G M / r²

By the effect of Pluto

        g1 = 6.67 10⁻¹¹  1.3 10²² / (3.2 10¹²)²

        g1 = 8.467 10⁻¹⁴ m / s²

b) By the effect of Uranus

        g2 = 6.67 10⁻¹¹ 8.68 10²⁵ / (3.2 10¹²)²

        g2 = 5.65 10⁻¹⁰ m / s²

c) the relationship between these accelerations

        g2 / g1 = 5.65 10⁻¹⁰ / 8.47 10⁻¹⁴

        g2 / g1 = 0.66 10⁴

        g2 / g1 = 6.6 10³

They start as one stream, then get curvier, then empy into a delta. A delta is a ton of streams of water. It is one, then empties out into a ton of streams.

Help with this question please.

There are 4 hydrogens on the right side (2\mathrm H_2=4\mathrm H), and 2 hydrogens on the left per molecule of \mathrm H_2. To get the same number of hydrogens on both sides, the coefficient should be 2.

(Then the number of oxygens will be consistent, since 2\mathrm H_2\mathrm O contributes 2 oxygens, and so does \mathrm O_2.)

a mass of 1.00 kg of water at temperature T is poured from a height of 0.100 km into a vessel containing water of the same tempe
Mariana [72]

Answer:

1.34352 kg

Explanation:

m_w = Mass of water falling = 1 kg

h = Height of fall = 0.1 km

\Delta T = Change in temperature = 0.1

c = Specific heat of water = 4186 J/kg K

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

m_v = Mass of water in the vessel

Here the potential energy will balance the internal energy

m_wgh=m_wc\Delta T+m_vc\Delta T\\\Rightarrow m_v=\dfrac{m_wgh-m_wc\Delta T}{c\Delta T}\\\Rightarrow m_v=\dfrac{m_wgh}{c\Delta T}-m_w\\\Rightarrow m_v=\dfrac{1\times 9.81\times 100}{4186\times 0.1}-1\\\Rightarrow m_v=1.34352\ kg

Mass of the water in the vessel is 1.34352 kg
