Answer:

Saturn's differential rotation will cause the length of a day measures to be longer by 0.4 hours

Explanation:

Differential rotation occurs due to the difference in angular velocities of an object as we move along the latitude of the or as we move into different depth of the object, indicating the observed object is in a fluid form

Saturn made almost completely of gas and has differential motion given as follows

Rotation at the equator = 10 hours 14 minutes

Rotation at high altitude = 10 hours 38 minutes

Therefore;

The differential rotation = 10 hours 38 minutes - 10 hours 14 minutes

The differential rotation = 24 minutes = 24 minutes × 1 hour/(60 minutes) = 0.4 hours

The differential rotation = 0.4 hours

Therefore, the measured day at the higher altitude will be 0.4 longer than at the equator.

True or False. Can Metalloids conduct electricity under certain conditions?
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

Conduction: Some metalloids, such as silicon and germanium, can act as electrical conductors under the right conditions, thus they are called semi-conductors. Luster: Silicon for example appears lustrous, but is not malleable or ductile (it is brittle - a characteristic of some nonmetals).

radar wave is transmitted and later reflected off an aircraft and recieved 1.4×10^3 sec after being sent out. how far is the air
lutik1710 [3]

I think there's a typo because the answer I'm getting is very large.

This is what I'm getting

--------------------------------------

c = speed of light

c = 3.0 x 10^8 m/sec approximately

This is roughly 300 million meters per second

The time it takes the signal to reach the aircraft and come back is 1.4 x 10^3 seconds. Half of this time period is going one direction (say from the radar station to the aircraft), so (1.4 x 10^3)/2 = 7.0 x 10^2 seconds is spent going in this one direction.

distance = rate*time

d = r*t

d = (3.0 x 10^8) * (7.0 x 10^2)

d = (3.0*7.0) x (10^8*10^2)

d = 21.0 x 10^(8+2)

d = 21.0 x 10^10

d = (2.1 x 10^1) * 10^10

d = 2.1 x (10^1*10^10)

d = 2.1 x 10^11 meters

d = 210,000,000,000 meters (this is 210 billion meters; equivalent to roughly 130,487,950 miles)

Two equal quantities of water, of mass m and at temperatures T1 and T2, (T1 > T2) are mixed together with the pressure kept c
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

ΔS=2*m*Cp*ln((T1+T2)/(2*(T1*T2)^1/2))

Explanation:

The concepts and formulas that I will use to solve this exercise are the integration and the change in the entropy of the universe. To calculate the final temperature of the water the expression for the equilibrium temperature will be used. Similarly, to find the change in entropy from cold to hot water, the equation of the change of entropy will be used. In the attached image is detailed the step by step of the resolution.
