Answer:

The mass of Neptune is 1.023\times 10^{26} kilograms.

Explanation:

From Newton's Law of Gravitation, the gravitational acceleration of Neptune is determined by the following formula:

g = \frac{G\cdot M}{R^{2}} (1)

Where:

G - Gravitational constant, measured in cubic meters per kilogram-square second.

M - Mass of the planet, measured in kilograms.

R - Radius of the planet, measured in meters.

g - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

If we know that G = 6.674\times 10^{-11}\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg\cdot s^{2}}, g = 11.529\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} and R = 24.340\times 10^{6}\,m, then the mass of Neptune is:

M = \frac{g\cdot R^{2}}{G}

M = \frac{\left(11.529\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}\right)\cdot (24.340\times 10^{6}\,m)^{2} }{6.674\times 10^{-11}\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg\cdot s^{2}} }

M = 1.023\times 10^{26}\,kg

The mass of Neptune is 1.023\times 10^{26} kilograms.

A machine can never be 100% efficient because some work is always lost due to what?
katrin [286]

A machine can never be 100% efficient because some work is always lost due to the lack of materials or equipment that would convert work by 100%. It follows the second law of entropy. The ideal engine is known as Carnot’s engine having a 100% efficiency. So far, no engine has ever gotten to 100%.
