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

Physics
1 answer:
dangina [55]3 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.

6. A 2-kg ball B is traveling around in a circle of radius r1 = 1 m with a speed (vB)1 = 2 m/s. If the attached cord is pulled d
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of ball m = 2kg

Ball traveling a radius of r1= 1m.

Speed of ball is Vb = 2m/s

Attached cord pulled down at a speed of Vr = 0.5m/s

Final speed V = 4m/s

Let find the transverse component of the final speed using

V² = Vr²+ Vθ²

4² = 0.5² + Vθ²

Vθ² = 4²—0.5²

Vθ² = 15.75

Vθ =√15.75

Vθ = 3.97 m/s.

Using the conservation of angular momentum,

(HA)1 = (HA)2

Mb • Vb • r1 = Mb • Vθ • r2

Mb cancels out

Vb • r1 = Vθ • r2

2 × 1 = 3.97 × r2

r2 = 2/3.97

r2 = 0.504m

The distance r2 to the hole for the ball to reach a maximum speed of 4m/s is 0.504m

The required time,

Using equation of motion

V = ∆r/t

Then,

t = ∆r/Vr

t = (r1—r2) / Vr

t = (1—0.504) / 0.5

t = 0.496/0.5

t = 0.992 second

Which of the following best describes the term thermal energy? Choose one: A. The energy of an object in motion due to its mass
o-na [289]

Answer:

The correct option is (d).

Explanation:

  • The energy a particle has because of its charge and its position relative to another particle is called thermal energy.
  • It is the energy that comes from heat. This is generated by the movement of the particles in an object.
  • Thermal energy is the energy an object or system has due to the movement of particles within.

Hence, the correct option is (d).
