Explanation:
centripetal force = gravitational force
where
m = mass of moon Ariel
mu = mass of Uranus
r = radius of Ariel's orbit
v = Ariel's velocity around Uranus
To find the velocity, we need to find the circumference of the no orbit and then divide it by the period (2.52 days):
circumference = 2πr = 2π×(1.91 × 10^8 m)
= 1.2 × 10^9 m
period = 2.52 days × (24 h/1 day)×(3600 s/1 hr)
= 2.18 × 10^5 s
v = (1.2 × 10^9 m)/(2.18 × 10^5 s)
= 5.5 × 10^3 m/s
(5.5 × 10^3 m/s)^2/(1.91 × 10^8 m) = (6.67 × 10^-11 m^3/kg-s^2)Mu/(1.91 × 10^8 m)^2
Solving Mu,
Mu = 8.66 × 10^25 kg
Answer:
The Temperature is the measure of Average Kinetic Energy of the molecule in the substance.
Temperature and Kinetic Energy of molecules are related by the equation
Where
<E> denotes average kinetic energy
k - Boltzmann constant
T - Temperature of the substance
Explanation:
The energy inside the substance is characterised by translational and vibrational motion.
The molecules in a substance have a range of kinetic energies because they don't all move at the same speed. As a substance absorbs heat the particles move faster so the average kinetic energy and therefore the temperature increases.
As the molecules of a substance vibrate faster their temperature increases.
Thus an increase energy corresponds to an increase in temperature
<E> α T (α denotes proportionality)
