Answer:

Earth's gravity comes from all its mass.

Explanation:

Earth's gravity comes from all its mass. All its mass makes a combined gravitational pull on all the mass in your body. That's what gives you weight. And if you were on a planet with less mass than Earth, you would weigh less than you do here.

Arrange the planets from strongest magnetic field to weakest magnetic field. Jupiter Earth Venus

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

The planets from strongest magnetic field to weakest magnetic field is Jupiter > Earth > Venus.

Magnetic fields are generated by the movement of magnetic material located in side the planet, usually at the core.

Jupiter, the biggest planet in our planetary system, likewise has the biggest magnetic field, producing a magnetosphere bigger than the Sun. It`s magnetic field is created by its fast rotation of 9.8 Earth hours. Dissimilar to Earth, Jupiter`s magnetic field is not produced by its core yet by interaction in its external core, which comprises of liquid metallic hydrogen.

Earth's magnetic field is produced by liquid metal at the center and Earth's fast pivot of 24 hours creates enough movement of the liquid to animate a magnetic field. While Venus does not have a magnetic field, likely on account of it's slow rate at around 243 Earth days, it's as yet shielded from sun oriented breezes utilizing an alternate kind of magnetism.

Therefore, the Jupiter have magnetic fields much stronger than that of the Earth and Venus.

The Apollo Lunar Module was used to make the transition from the spacecraft to the Moon's surface and back. Consider a similar m

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

v=6.05 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Th initial velocity of the lander, u = 1.2 m/s

The lander is at a height of 1.8 m, d = 1.8 m

We need to find the velocity of the lander at impact. It is a concept based on the conservation of mechanical energy. So,

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2-\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2=W\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2-\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2=F\times d\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2-\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2=mgd\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)=mgd\\\\v^2-u^2=2gd$

v is the velocity of the lander at the impact

g is the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Mars, which is 0.4 times that on the surface of the Earth, g = 0.4 × 9.8 = 3.92 m/s²

So,

$v=\sqrt{u^2+2gd} \\\\v=\sqrt{(1.2)^2+2\times 9.8\times 1.8} \\\\v=6.05\ m/s$

So, the velocity of the lander at the impact is 6.05 m/s.

A centrifugal pump is operating at a flow rate of 1 m3/s and a head of 20 m. If the specific weight of water is 9800 N/m3 and th

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

The power required by the pump is nearly 230.588 kW

Explanation:

Flow rate of the pump Q = 1 m^3/s

the head flow H = 20 m

specific weight of water γ = 9800 N/m^3

efficiency of the pump η = 85%

First note that specific gravity of water is the product of the density of water and acceleration due to gravity.

γ = ρg

where ρ is density. For water its value is 1000 kg/m^3

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s^2

The power to lift this water at this rate will be gotten from the equation

P = ρgQH

but ρg = γ

therefore,

P = γQH

imputing values, we'll have

P = 9800 x 1 x 20 = 196000 W

But the centrifugal pump that will be used will only be able to lift this amount of water after the efficiency factor has been considered. The power of pump needed must be greater than this power.

we can say that

196000 W is 85% of the power of the pump power needed, therefore

196000 = 85% of $P_{p}$

where $P_{p}$ is the power of the pump needed

85% = 0.85

196000 = 0.85 $P_{p}$

$P_{p}$ = 196000/0.85 = 230588.24 W

Pump power = 230.588 kW
