Why are planets spherical?​

Chemistry

Answer:

All of the planets are round because of gravity. When our Solar System was forming, gravity gathered billions of pieces of gas and dust into clumps which grew larger and larger to become the planets. The force of the collision of these pieces caused the newly forming planets to become hot and molten. The force of gravity, pulled this molten material inwards towards the planet's center into the shape of a sphere. Later, when the planets cooled, they stayed spherical. Planets are not perfectly spherical because they also spin. The spinning force acts against gravity and causes many planets to bulge out more around their equators.

It's something we kind of take for granted. Roses are red, and planets are spherical. That's just the way things are, right? After all, building model solar systems would be way more challenging if, instead of using little foam balls, we had to make a bunch of icosahedron-shaped planet models.

Answer:

c = 0.898 J/g.°C

Explanation:

1) Given data:

Mass of water = 23.0 g

Initial temperature = 25.4°C

Final temperature = 42.8° C

Heat absorbed = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

Specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J/g°C

ΔT = 42.8°C - 25.4°C

ΔT = 17.4°C

Q = 23.0 g ×  × 4.18 J/g°C × 17.4°C

Q = 1672.84 j

2) Given data:

Mass of metal = 120.7 g

Initial temperature = 90.5°C

Final temperature = 25.7 ° C

Heat released = 7020 J

Specific heat capacity of metal = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT = 25.7°C - 90.5°C

ΔT = -64.8°C

7020 J = 120.7 g ×  c ×  -64.8°C

7020 J = -7821.36 g.°C ×  c

c = 7020 J / -7821.36 g.°C

c = 0.898 J/g.°C

Negative sign shows heat is released.
