Given: Mass of earth Me = 5.98 x 10²⁴ Kg

           Radius of earth r = 6.37 x 10⁶ m

            G = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/Kg²

Required: Smallest possible period T = ?

Formula: F = ma;  F = GMeMsat/r²     Centripetal acceleration ac = V²/r

               but V = 2πr/T

equate T from all equation.

F = ma

GMeMsat/r² = Msat4π²/rT²    

GMe = 4π²r³/T²

T² = 4π²r³/GMe  

T² = 39.48(6.37 x 10⁶ m)³/6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/Kg²)(5.98 x 10²⁴ Kg)

T² = 1.02 x 10²² m³/3.99 x 10¹⁴ m³/s²

T² = 25,563,909.77 s²

T = 5,056.08 seconds    or around   1.4 Hour

A container is filled with an ideal diatomic gas to a pressure and volume of P1 and V1, respectively. The gas is then warmed in
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

The  change is as follows

P₁ V₁ to 3P₁, V₁ ( constt volume )  --- first process

3P₁,V₁ to 3P₁ , 5V₁ ( constt pressure ) ---- second process

In the first process Temperature must have been increased 3 times . So if initial temperature is T₁ then final temperature will be 3 T₁

P₁V₁ = n R T₁ , n is no of moles of gas enclosed.

nRT₁ = P₁V₁

Heat added at constant volume  = n Cv ( 3T₁ - T₁)

= n x 5/3 R X 2T₁ ( for diatomic gas Cv = 5/3 R)

= 10/3 x nRT₁

= 10/3x P₁V₁

In the second process,  Temperature must have been increased 5 times . So if initial temperature is 3T₁ then final temperature will be 15 T₁

Heat added at constant pressure in second case  

= n Cp ( 15T₁ - 3T₁)

= n x 7/3 R X 12T₁ ( For diatomic gas Cp = 7/3 R)

= 28 x nRT₁

= 28 P₁V₁

A capacitor consists of a set of two parallel plates of area a separated by a distance
MakcuM [25]
When a dielectric material is inserted between two plates of capacitor that are connected to a battery, you would observe that both the charge and the capacitance of the capacitor would change. This is due to the dielectric material which is able to transmit electric force.
