We are given:

Mass of Neptune = 1.03 * 10²⁶ kg

Distance from the center of Neptune (r) = 2.27 * 10⁷

now, computing the value of the acceleration due to gravity (g)

Finding g:

We know the formula:

g = G(mass of planet) / (r)²

g = [6.67 * 10⁻¹¹ * 1.03*10²⁶] / (2.27*10⁷) [since G is 6.67*10⁻¹¹]

g = (6.87 * 10¹⁵) / (5.15 * 10¹⁴)

which can be rewritten as:

g = (6.87 * 10¹⁵ * 10⁻¹⁴) / 5.15

g = (6.87 * 10¹⁵⁻¹⁴) / 5.15

g = (6.87/5.15) * 10

g = 1.34 * 10

g = 13.4 m/s² (approx)

If you were capable of converting mass to energy with 100%, efficiency, how much mass would you need to produce 3.5x10^12 Joules

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

a) 3.9 x 10⁻⁵ kg

Explanation:

The amount of mass required to produce the energy can be given by Einstein's formula:

$E = mc^2\\\\m = \frac{E}{c^2}$

where,

m = mass required = ?

E = Energy produced = 3.5 x 10¹² J

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Therefore,

$m = \frac{3.5\ x\ 10^{12}\ J}{(3\ x\ 10^8\ m/s)^2} \\\\m = 3.9\ x\ 10^{-5}\ kg$

Hence, the correct option is:

a) 3.9 x 10⁻⁵ kg

A cosmic ray (an electron or nucleus moving ar speeds close to the speed of light) travels across the Milky Way at a speed of 0.

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Cosmic ray's frame of reference: 99,875 years

Stationary frame of reference: 501,891 years

Explanation:

First of all, we convert the distance from parsec into metres:

$d=30,000 pc =9.26\cdot 10^{20} m$

The speed of the cosmic ray is

$v=0.98 c$

where

$c=3.0 \cdot 10^8 m/s$ is the speed of light. Substituting,

$v=(0.98)(3.0\cdot 10^8)=2.94\cdot 10^8 m/s$

And so, the time taken to complete the journey in the cosmic's ray frame of reference (called proper time) is:

$T_0 = \frac{d}{v}=\frac{9.26\cdot 10^{20}}{2.94\cdot 10^8}=3.15\cdot 10^{12} s$

Converting into years,

$T_0 = \frac{3.15\cdot 10^{12}}{(365\cdot 24\cdot 60 \cdot 60}=99,875 years$

Instead, the time elapsed in the stationary frame of reference is given by Lorentz transformation:

$T=\frac{T_0}{\sqrt{1-(\frac{v}{c^2})^2}}$

And substituting v = 0.98c, we find:

$T=\frac{99,875}{\sqrt{1-(\frac{0.98c}{c})^2}}=501,891 years$
