Question no. 1. Compare the planets Mars and Saturn. Describe how their common characteristics are similar:
Answer: Our solar system is located in the outer spiral arm of the milky way galaxy. our solar system has one sun and nine revolving planets and . namely
- Mercury
- Venus
- Earth
- Mars
- Jupiter
- Saturn
- Uranus
- Neptune
- Pluto (small planet usually refer as dwarf)
Each star has its on moon/moons and has its own characteristics i.e , planet must be a celestial body , must have orbit around sun, have enough mass for self gravity, big enough to have gravity that clear its path from other same size object close to its orbit around sun.
Mars is the fourth from the sun and sixth is the Saturn from the sun in our solar system.
<u>Common in Characteristics of Mars and Saturn:</u>
- Mars and Saturn both have celestial body.
- Mars and Saturn both have enough mass for the gravity to get rid of rigid body forces.
- Mars and Saturn both revolve around the sun in their own orbits.
- Mars is the second smallest in the solar system while Saturn is second largest in the solar system.
- Mars and Saturn both have their own moons. Mars has two while Saturn has 83 moons
- Mars and Neptune both do not support life.
Question no. 2. Compare the planets Earth and Neptune. Describe how are they different from each other
Answer:
Earth our home planet is the third from the sun and Neptune on the other hand is the eighth from the sun in the solar system.
<u>Common differences between Earth and Neptune</u>
- Earth is the terrestrial planet while Neptune (Ice giant) is the Jovian planet.
- Earth has no ring around it, Neptune has ring around it.
- Earth is closer to the sun and Neptune is far distant from the sun.
- Earth consists of rocks and metals on the other hand Neptune contain gases
- Earth is smaller than the Neptune in the solar system.
- Earth rotates slower and Neptune rotates faster.
Answer: The Q arrow
Explanation: when the solid is heated it changes into a liquid state first this action represented the Q arrow
Answer:
84.82N/C.
Explanation:
The x-components of the electric field cancel; therefore, we only care about the y-components.
The y-component of the differential electric field at the center is
.
Now, let us call 
the charge per unit length, then we know that
;
therefore,
Integrating
![$E = \frac{k \lambda }{R}*[-cos(\pi )+cos(0) ]$](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%24E%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7Bk%20%5Clambda%20%20%20%7D%7BR%7D%2A%5B-cos%28%5Cpi%20%29%2Bcos%280%29%20%5D%24)
Now, we know that
and the radius of the semicircle is
therefore,
Answer:
109.32 N/m
Explanation:
Given that
Mass of the hung object, m = 8 kg
Period of oscillation of object, T = 1.7 s
Force constant, k = ?
Recall that the period of oscillation of a Simple Harmonic Motion is given as
T = 2π √(m/k), where
T = period of oscillation
m = mass of object and
k = force constant if the spring
Since we are looking for the force constant, if we make "k" the subject of the formula, we have
k = 4π²m / T², now we go ahead to substitute our given values from the question
k = (4 * π² * 8) / 1.7²
k = 315.91 / 2.89
k = 109.32 N/m
Therefore, the force constant of the spring is 109.32 N/m
