<u>We are given:</u>
Mass of Neptune = 1.03 * 10²⁶ kg
Distance from the center of Neptune (r) = 2.27 * 10⁷
now, computing the value of the acceleration due to gravity (g)
<u>Finding g:</u>
We know the formula:
g = G(mass of planet) / (r)²
g = [6.67 * 10⁻¹¹ * 1.03*10²⁶] / (2.27*10⁷) [since G is 6.67*10⁻¹¹]
g = (6.87 * 10¹⁵) / (5.15 * 10¹⁴)
which can be rewritten as:
g = (6.87 * 10¹⁵ * 10⁻¹⁴) / 5.15
g = (6.87 * 10¹⁵⁻¹⁴) / 5.15
g = (6.87/5.15) * 10
g = 1.34 * 10
g = 13.4 m/s² <em>(approx)</em>
Answer:
- 1100 J heat flows out
Explanation:
dW = - 1600 J (as work is done on the gas)
dU = 500 J
dQ = ?
According to the first law of thermodynamics
dQ = dU + dW
dQ = 500 - 1600
dQ = - 1100 J
As heat is negative so it flows out.
You need to have the Mass and velocity
The easiest way to build a unit for energy is to remember that
'work' is energy, and
Work = (force) x (distance).
So energy is (unit of force) x (unit of distance)
[Energy] = (Newton) (meter) .
'Newton' itself is a combination of base units, so
energy is really
(kilogram-meter/sec²) (meter)
= kilogram-meter² / sec² .
That unit is so complicated that it's been given a special,
shorter name:
Joule .
It doesn't matter what kind of energy you're talking about.
Kinetic, potential, nuclear, electromagnetic, food, chemical,
muscle, wind, solar, steam ... they all boil down to Joules.
And if you generate, use, transfer, or consume 1 Joule of
energy every second, then we say that the 'power' is '1 watt'.
Answer:
a) The minimum thickness of the oil slick at the spot is 313 nm
b) the minimum thickness be now will be 125 nm
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
a) The index of refraction of the oil is 1.20. What is the minimum thickness of the oil slick at that spot?
t
= λ/2n
given that; wavelength λ = 750 nm and index of refraction of the oil n = 1.20
we substitute
t = 750 / 2(1.20)
t = 750 / 2.4
t = 312.5 ≈ 313 nm
Therefore, The minimum thickness of the oil slick at the spot is 313 nm
b)
Suppose the oil had an index of refraction of 1.50. What would the minimum thickness be now?
minimum thickness of the oil slick at the spot will be;
t = λ/4n
given that; wavelength λ = 750 nm and index of refraction of the oil n = 1.50
we substitute
t = 750 / 4(1.50)
t = 750 / 6
t = 125 nm
Therefore, the minimum thickness be now will be 125 nm
