Scilla [17]3 years ago

Answer:

density of Jupiter, \rho_{J} = 1.33\times 10^{12} kg/m_{3} = 1.33 g/cm_{3}

Earth is more than 4 times denser than Jupiter.

Explanation:

We know:

Mass of Jupiter, M_{J}= 1.9\times 10^{27} kg

Volume of Jupiter,  V_{J}= 1.43\times 10^{15} m^{3}

To calculate the density of Jupiter, we know:

density, \rho= \frac{Mass (M)}{Volume(V)}

Now,

density of Jupiter,  \rho_{J}= \frac{M_{J}}{V_{J}}

\rho_{J}= \frac{1.9\times 10^{27}}{1.43\times 10^{15}}

\rho_{J} = 1.33\times 10^{12} kg/m^{3} = 1.33 g/cm^{3}

We know that density of Earth, \rho_{E} = 5.51 g/cm^{3}

Comparing the densities of the two planets, it can be concluded that Earth is more than 4 times denser than Jupiter.

The reason being that Earth is a planet which is terrestrial consisting of rocks and heavy minerals of silicates while Jupiter has mainly gases as its constituents.

Jupiter being 11 times the size of Earth and much more massive as compared to Earth is less dense than the Earth as it is mainly composed of gases.

Which statement describes how the photoelectric effect causes an electric
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

A. Light acts as particles, causing electrons on the surface it strikes to be destroyed.

Explanation:

  • The photoelectric effect is a phenomenon that occurs when light shined onto a metal surface causes the ejection of electrons from that metal. It was observed that only certain frequencies of light are able to cause the ejection of electrons.

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

2.5 x 10⁷ J

Explanation:

F = thrust of the engine = 2.3 x 10⁵ N

d = distance traveled = 87  m

Work done by the engine is given as

W = F d =  (2.3 x 10⁵) (87) = 200.1 x 10⁵ J

W' = Net work done

W'' = work done by catapult

KE₀ = initial kinetic energy = 0 J

KE = final kinetic energy = 4.5 x 10⁷ J

Net work done is given as

W' = KE - KE₀

W' = 4.5 x 10⁷ J

We know that

W' = W + W''

4.5 x 10⁷ = 2.001 x 10⁷ + W''

W'' = 2.5 x 10⁷ J

If the period of a clock signal is 500 ps, the frequency is:_____
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

The frequency of the signal is 2 GHz

Explanation:

Given;

period of the clock signal, T = 500 ps = 500 x 10⁻¹² s

the frequency of the signal is given by;

F= \frac{1}{T}\\\\F = \frac{1}{500*10^{-12}}\\\\F = 2*10^{9} \ Hz

F = 2 GHz

Therefore, the frequency of the signal is 2 x 10⁹ Hz or 2 GHz
