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.

How do you determine true displacement value of an object that has moved?
WITCHER [35]
Diceplacement is the distance an object has traveled in a certain direction
for example, if you were to walk North for 20m, then east for 40m, the <u>distance</u> you have traveled is 60m however your displacement is the distance between your starting position and your end position;
sqrt(20^2+40^2) = 44.7m
and because displacement is a vector, there needs to be a direction;
sin(theta)=40/44.7
theta=63.4 degrees East of North

therefore the true displacement is 44.7m at 63.4 degrees East of North

A vertical spring has a spring constant of 2900 N/m. The spring is compressed 80 cm and a 8 kg spider is placed on the spring. T
Serga [27]

Answer:

a)  k_{e} = 928 J , b)U = -62.7 J , c) K = 0 , d) Y = 11.0367 m,  e)  v = 15.23 m / s  

Explanation:

To solve this exercise we will use the concepts of mechanical energy.

a) The elastic potential energy is

      k_{e} = ½ k x²

      k_{e} = ½ 2900 0.80²

      k_{e} = 928 J

b) place the origin at the point of the uncompressed spring, the spider's potential energy

     U = m h and

     U = 8 9.8 (-0.80)

     U = -62.7 J

c) Before releasing the spring the spider is still, so its true speed and therefore the kinetic energy also

      K = ½ m v²

      K = 0

d) write the energy at two points, maximum compression and maximum height

     Em₀ = ke = ½ m x²

     E_{mf} = mg y

     Emo = E_{mf}

     ½ k x² = m g y

     y = ½ k x² / m g

     y = ½ 2900 0.8² / (8 9.8)

     y = 11.8367 m

As zero was placed for the spring without stretching the height from that reference is

     Y = y- 0.80

     Y = 11.8367 -0.80

     Y = 11.0367 m

Bonus

Energy for maximum compression and uncompressed spring

     Emo = ½ k x² = 928 J

     E_{mf}= ½ m v²

     Emo = E_{mf}

     Emo = ½ m v²

      v =√ 2Emo / m

     v = √ (2 928/8)

     v = 15.23 m / s

A glass bottle of soda is sealed with a screw cap. The absolute pressure of the carbon dioxide inside the bottle is 1.50 x 105 P
MArishka [77]

Answer:

F \approx 19.5 N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Pressure of  P_{CO_2}=1.50 * 105 Pa.

Bottle cap area A_b= 4.40 * 10-4 m^2

 

Generally the equation for Resultant pressure P_r is give as is mathematically given by

P_r=P_{CO_2}-P_a

Where

P_a=atmospheric\ pressure = 1.013*10^5 pa

P_r=1.50 * 105 Pa-1.013*10^5 pa

P_r=0.487*10^5 pa

Generally the equation for Force exerted by screw F is give as is mathematically given by

F = P*A\\F = 0.487*10^5*4.00*10^-4\\ F = 19.48 N

F \approx 19.5 N

The source of the centripetal force that keeps the Earth revolving around the Sun is _____. tension gravity friction weight
babunello [35]
The correct answer among the choices given is the second option. The source of the centripetal force that keeps the Earth revolving around the Sun is gravity. Centripetal force is a sideways force that acts on an object causing it to move in a circular motion.
