Why do the giant planets and their moons have compositions different from those of the terrestrial planets?

Physics
1 answer:
dangina [55]4 years ago
4 0

Answer and Explanation:

The formation of planets ,initially was the result of gradual accumulation of  solid matter into the solar nebula. As a result of high temperature in the interior of our solar system, metals and rocks were the only materials to get compressed.

The matter that was volatile could not be compressed so close to the heat energy radiated by the early Sun.

On the outer part of the solar system, solid matter included hydrogen compounds, rocks and metals  with a lot of matter for planet formation.

The Giant planets were formed by capturing Helium and hydrogen gases as well whereas the terrestrial planets being much more smaller are made up of mainly rocks like silicates and metals like iron.

The moons of terrestrial planets like that of Earth is also terrestrial in nature consisting of rocks and metals as the constituent material while that of giant planets consist of frozen water in half the proportion and the other half is rocks and metals.

What is the flow rate of water in a pipe flowing full with an area of 0.3 m2 and velocity of 2.5 m/s?
sashaice [31]

Answer:

0.75 m³/s

Explanation:

Applying,

Q = vA.................... Equation 1

Where Q = flow rate of the water, v = velocity of the water, A = area of the pipe.

From the question,

Given: v = 2.5 m/s, A = 0.3 m²

Substitute these values into equation 1

Q = 2.5(0.3)

Q = 0.75 m³/s

Hence the flow rate of water in the pipe is 0.75 m³/s

Describe the difference between contact forces and field forces.
Salsk061 [2.6K]
Contact forces has to be touching for it to be an actual force. A field force does not have to be touching but it does have to be acting on particles at different positions in a space.

The reactive force developed by a jet engine to push an airplane forward is called thrust, and the thrust developed by the engin
finlep [7]

The value of the thrust developed by the engine of a boeing 777 in N and Kgf are ;

i) 376616N

ii) 38430Kgf

<h3>What is force?</h3>

Force is a push or a pull. The reactive force always serve to balance the applied force. We are here asked to convert the  the thrust developed by the engine of a boeing 777 which is about 85400 lbf to the following units;

i) N

ii)kgf

Thus;

1 Ib = 0.45 Kg

1 lbf = 0.45 Kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 4.41 N

We know that;

1 lbf = 4.41 N

85400 lbf = 85400 lbf. * 4.41 N/1 lbf

= 376616N

Again;

1 lbf = 0.45 Kgf

85400 lbf = 85400 lbf * 0.45 Kgf/1 lbf

= 38430Kgf

Does anyone know how to solve this?
kompoz [17]

Answer:

110 m

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram of the car.  The car has three forces acting on it: normal force up, weight down, and friction to the left.

Sum of the forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

N − mg = 0

N = mg

Sum of the forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

-F = ma

-Nμ = ma

Substitute:

-mgμ = ma

-gμ = a

Given μ = 0.40:

a = -(9.8 m/s²) (0.40)

a = -3.92 m/s²

Given that v₀ = 30 m/s and v = 0 m/s:

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

(0 m/s)² = (30 m/s)² + 2 (-3.9s m/s²) Δx

Δx ≈ 110 m
