Why is the pressure so high deep inside the outer planets?

Answer:

Due to its larger size

Explanation:

This is due to those planets being much larger than Earth. The larger a planet is, the more gravity that planet has, since gravity is mainly calculated based on the mass and radius of the planet. Also since the pressure deep inside of the planet depends mainly on the gravity of that planet on the surface, this is calculated as the square of the planet's surface gravity. Ultimately, the bigger the planet is the higher the pressure deep inside the planet will be.

What is the impulse of a 3kg object accelerating from rest to 12m/s?

ale4655 [162]

To find the impulse you multiply the mass by the change in velocity (impulse=mass×Δvelocity). So in this case, 3 kg × 12 m/s ("12" because the object went from zero m/s to 12 m/s).

The answer is 36 kg m/s

5. The wire in consists of two segments of different diameters but made from the same metal. The current in segment 1 is I1. a.

Volgvan

Answer:

hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question

answer :

a) I1 = I2

b) J1 > J2

c) E 1 > E2

d) ( vd1 ) > ( vd2 )

Explanation:

a) The currents in the two segments are the same i.e. I1 = I2 and this is because the segments are connected in series

b) Comparing the current densities J1 and J2 in the two segments

note : current density ∝ 1 / area

The area of the second segment is > the area of first segment therefore

J1 > J2

J1 ( current density of first segment )

J2 ( current density of second segment )

c) Comparing the electric field strengths E1 and E2

note : electric field strength ∝ current density

since current density of first segment is > current density of second segment and conductivity of the materials are the same hence

E 1 > E2

d) Comparing the drift speeds Vd1 and Vd2

( vd1 ) > ( vd2 )

this because ; vd ∝ current density

What is the period of a wave traveling 5 m/s if its wavelength is 20 m/s

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Speed of wave is given as

$v = 5 m/s$

Wavelength of the wave is given as

$\lambda = 20 m$

now from the formula of wave time period we can say

$speed = \frac{wavelength}{time period}$

$5 = \frac{20}{T}$

$T = \frac{20}{5}$

$T = 4 s$

so it will have time period of T = 4 s

Puck 1 (1 kg) travels with velocity 20 m/s to the right when it collides with puck 2 (1 kg) which is initially at rest. After th

Burka [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Mass of Puck 1, m = 1 kg

Mass of Puck 2, M = 1 kg

Initial velocity of Puck 1, u = 20 m/s

Initial velocity of Puck 2, U = 0 m/s

Final velocity of Puck 1, v = 5 m/s

Since we are told that momentum is conserved, we apply the principle of conservation of momentum:

Total initial momentum of the system = Total final momentum of the system

mu + MU = mv + MV

(1 * 20) + (1 * 0) = (1 * 5) + (1 * V)

20 = 5 + V

V = 20 - 5 = 15 m/s

Puck 2 moves with a velocity of 15 m/s
