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.

Match the definition with the correct term: resistance to flow.
alukav5142 [94]
(1) friction is the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces , fluid layers and material elements sliding against each other.
(2) gravity is a science fiction .
(3) Resistance ::: is a property of a conductor by which the passage of current is opposed causing electric energy to be transformed into heat .
(4) viscosity is the quantity that describes a fluid.

Which of the following statements is true? (A) The measured value for the pressure of a gas in a container is almost independent
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

The correct answer to the question is

Both A and B are true

Explanation:

The particles of a gas are free to move to occupy the entire volume in which they are placed due to the smallerinter molecular forces holding them together hence due to the face that pressure is a measure of the Force per unit area that is Pressure P = ( Force F)/ (Area A) then the force per unit area, exerted on the all of the container by the gaseous particles which are colliding with each other and with the walss of the container is fairly constant through out the surface oof the container

In the case of the liquid which are held on together by more stronger forces, the force per nit area exerted by the liquid particle is transmitted from one particle to the next until it reaches the container's surface. Then remembering that the force of gravity on the liquid is acting in one direction (that is downwards) the sum of the fprce due to the weight incrreases as we progress deaper into the liquid hence the pressure increases per unit depth

Calculate the force which will produce an extension of 0.30mm in a steel wire with a length of 4.0m and a cross section area of
Anna [14]

Given data:

* The extension of the steel wire is 0.3 mm.

* The length of the wire is 4 m.

* The area of cross section of wire is,

A=2\times10^{-6}m^2

* The young modulus of the steel is,

Y=2.1\times10^{11}\text{ Pa}

Solution:

The young modulus of the steel in terms of the force and extension is,

Y=\frac{F\times l}{A\times dl}

where F is the force acting on the steel wire,, l is the original length of the wire, dl is the extension of the wire, and A is the area,

Substituting the known values,

\begin{gathered} 2.1\times10^{11}=\frac{F\times4}{2\times10^{-6}\times0.3\times10^{-3}} \\ F=0.315\times10^2\text{ N} \\ F=31.5\text{ N} \end{gathered}

Thus, the force which produce the extension of 0.3 mm of the steel wire is 31.5 N.
