Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune collectively make up the group known as the jovian planets. The general structures of the jovian planets are opposite those of the terrestrial planets. Rather than having thin atmospheres around relatively large rocky bodies, the jovian planets have relatively small, dense cores surrounded by massive layers of gas. Made almost entirely of hydrogen and helium, these planets do not have solid surfaces.

If an object moving at 12 m/s has a kinetic energy of 72 j what is the mass

EleoNora [17]

Simply, apply the formula $E = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$ and insert the values of m = mass, v = velocity and E = Energy.
The result will be $72J = \frac{1}{2}m(12m/s)^{2}$ , m = 1 kg

Calculate the critical angle for light going from Glycerine to air.

Georgia [21]

The refractive index for glycerine is $n_g=1.473$ , while for air it is $n_a = 1.00$ .

When the light travels from a medium with greater refractive index to a medium with lower refractive index, there is a critical angle over which there is no refraction, but all the light is reflected. This critical angle is given by:
$\theta_c = \arcsin ( \frac{n_2}{n_1} )$
where n1 and n2 are the refractive indices of the two mediums. If we susbtitute the refractive index of glycerine and air in the formula, we find the critical angle for this case:
$\theta_c = \arcsin ( \frac{1.00}{1.473} )=42.8^{\circ}$

HELP ASAP!!! The gravitational pull of the Moon is much less than the

katovenus [111]

Answer:

I'm pretty sure its B and C

Explanation:

B bc the weight is gravitational pull x mass so when the object has same mass the weight is smaller on moon

C bc mass is the same - you can't change it
