Jupiter has a mass about 300x that of Earth, and its radius is about 11x that of Earth. What would be the approximate weight of

a 1 kg rock on the surface of Jupiter?
Physics

erica [24]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

W = 24.01 N

Explanation:

given,

mass of Jupiter = 300 x

radius = 11 x

weight of 1 Kg on Jupiter = ?

using equation of acceleration of gravity

 g =\dfrac{GM}{r^2}

mass of Jupiter = 300 M

radius of the Jupiter = 11 R

now, acceleration due to gravity

 g' =\dfrac{G(300M)}{(11R)^2}

 g' =\dfrac{300}{121}\dfrac{GM}{R^2}

 g' =2.45 g

acceleration due to gravity of Jupiter

 g' = 24.01 m/s²

Weight of the rock  in Jupiter

W = m g'

W = 1 x 24.01

W = 24.01 N

Infer whether a circuit breaker should be connected in parallel to the circuit that it is protecting.
Alla [95]
A circuit breaker is to be connected in series in the circuit it is to protect.
Explanation:
Let us understand why do we need circuit breakers.
Circuit breaker is a protective device which will break the circuit in case of emergency like the appliance gets short or the wiring may get shorted in between. Also it is provided to cut-off electricity to a specific part of wiring in a house/building etc. for non-emergency situations, say for the purpose of maintenance.
Invariably it is placed in series with the live wire at the switch board or circuit breaker box, so that as soon as circuit breaker trips/switched off, no electrical wiring in the circuit it is protecting should remain live.
The mains circuit breaker is placed in series with the wiring of the dwelling unit and the Electricity incoming point of the Electric Supply Company.
The remaining circuit breakers are connected in parallel to each other to various distribution points/rooms. If connected in series, it will be impossible to isolate a section/part of circuit.
However, each circuit breaker is to be connected in series in the part circuit it is to protect.

Scientists can find the absolute age of a rock by using
yaroslaw [1]

Explanation:

Carbon-14 is normally used to date living organisms (all living things we know today contain mostly carbon).   It can be used for samples up to about 60000 years old.  Carbon-12 is the non-radioactive form that we encounter daily.  Relative dating determines dates relative to each other, such as ordering of period or events.

Uranium 235 dating can determine date samples a million years old and up, so is more suited for rocks.

A spring with an 8-kg mass is kept stretched 0.4 m beyond its natural length by a force of 32 N. The spring starts at its equili
pentagon [3]

Answer:

x = 1.26 sin 3.16 t

Explanation:

Assume that the general equation of the displacement given as

x = A sinω t

A=Amplitude ,t=time ,ω=natural frequency

We know that speed V

V=\dfrac{dx}{dt}

V= A ω cosωt

Maximum velocity

V(max)= Aω

Given that F= 32 N

F = K Δ

K=Spring constant

Δ = 0.4 m

32 =0.4 K

K = 80 N/m

We know that  ω²m = K

8 ω² = 80

ω = 3.16 s⁻¹

Given that V(max)= Aω = 4 m/s

3.16 A = 4

A= 1.26 m

Therefore the general equation of displacement

x = 1.26 sin 3.16 t

What would we need to do to make an electromagnet strong enough to move cars and trains
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

The combined magnetic force of the magnetized wire coil and iron bar makes an electromagnet very strong. In fact, electromagnets are the strongest magnets made. An electromagnet is stronger if there are more turns in the coil of wire or there is more current flowing through it.

A conducting spherical shell with inner radius a and outer radius b has a positive point charge +Q at the center in the empty re
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

a) q_inner = -Q

, q_outer = -2Q

b)    E₁ = k Q / r²        r<a

       E₂ = 0               a<r<b

       E₃ = - k 2Q/r²     r>b

d)   the charge continues inside the spherical shell, the results do not change

Explanation:

a) The point load in the center induces a load on the inner surface of the shell with constant opposite sign  

q_inner = -Q  

the outer shell of the shell the load is  

q_outer = -3 Q + Q  

q_outer = -2Q

b) To find the electric field again, use Gauss's law,  

We define as a Gaussian surface a sphere  

Ф = E. dA = q_{int}/ε₀

in this case the electric field lines and the radii of the sphere are parallel, so the sclar product is reduced to the algegraic product  

E A = q_{int}/ε₀

the area of ​​a sphere is  

A = 4 π r²  

E = 1 / 4πε₀  Q/ r²  

k = 1 / 4πε₀  

let's apply this expression to the different radii

i) r <a  

in this case the load inside is the point load  

q_{int}= + Q  

E₁ = k Q / r²

ii) the field inside the shell  

a <r <b  

As the sphere is conductive, so that it is in electrostatic equilibrium, there can be no field within it.  

E₂ = 0

iii)  r>b

   q_{int}  = Q- 3Q = -2Q

    E₃ = k (-2Q/r²)

     E₃ = - k 2Q/r²

c) see  attached

d) as the charge continues inside the spherical shell, the results do not change, since the lcharge inside remains the same and it does not matter its precise location, but remains within the Gaussian surface
