Describe the main differences between the composition of Earth and that of the Sun.

Physics
1 answer:
kakasveta [241]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: The earth is comprised of silicate materials as well as metals. The amount of gas is less here because of its location near to the sun. Due to its relative high surface temperature, the gases such as hydrogen and helium gets evaporated and disappears.

Whereas the sun is entirely comprised of hydrogen and helium gas, of which hydrogen is the dominant one. It has an extremely high temperature of about 5500°C.

An air-filled pipe is found to have successive harmonics at 700 Hz , 900 Hz , and 1100 Hz . It is unknown whether harmonics belo
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

the length of the pipe is 0.85 m or 85 cm

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

The successive harmonics are;  700 Hz , 900 Hz , and 1100 H

Now, for a closed pipe,

length of pipe (L) = λ/4

Harmonics; 1x, 3x, 5x, 7x, 9x, 11x

1100Hz - 900Hz = 200Hz

⇒ 2x = 200Hz

x = 100Hz ( fundamental frequency )

λ = V/f = 340 /100 = 3.4 m

Now

Length L = λ / 4

L = 3.4 / 4

L = 0.85 m or 85 cm

Therefore, the length of the pipe is 0.85 m or 85 cm

What is the length a rubberband was stretched if it has a spring constant of 5700N/m and is currently holding 8600J OF POTENTIAL
lozanna [386]

Answer:

\displaystyle \Delta x=1.74\ m

Explanation:

<u>Elastic Potential Energy </u>

Is the energy stored in an elastic material like a spring of constant k, in which case the energy is proportional to the square of the change of length Δx and the constant k.

\displaystyle PE = \frac{1}{2}k(\Delta x)^2

Given a rubber band of a spring constant of k=5700 N/m that is holding potential energy of PE=8600 J, it's required to find the change of length under these conditions.

Solving for Δx:

\displaystyle \Delta x=\swrt{\frac{2PE}{k}}

Substituting:

\displaystyle \Delta x=\sqrt{\frac{2*8600}{5700}}

Calculating:

\displaystyle \Delta x=\sqrt{3.0175}

\boxed{\displaystyle \Delta x=1.74\ m}

At t=0 a ball is projected vertically upward from a roof of a building of height 68.1 meters with a velocity of 42.4 m/s. The ba
Finger [1]

Answer:

7.45 s.

Explanation:

Given:

h = 68.1 m

vi = 0 m/s

vf = 42.4 m/s

g = 9.81 m/s^2

Using,

h = vi*t +1/2*(a*t^2)

68.1 = 1/2 * (9.81*t^2)

t = sqrt((68.1*2)/9.81)

= 3.726 s.

Total time of flight = 2*t

= 2 * 3.726

= 7.45 s.

The characteristic of epithelial cells that makes them ideal for providing this type of protection is that the cells are packed tightly together. 
Skin, the body's largest organ,is our first and best defense against external aggressors. The many layers work hard to protect us, however when its condition is compromised, its ability to work as an effective barrier is impaired.
