Answer: <u>Saturn is the second largest gas giant and has the largest rings.</u>

Explanation:

  1. Saturn is the 2nd largest planet in the solar system after Jupiter.
  2. It is the 6th planet from the Sun and  located between Jupiter and Uranus.
  3. Saturn was named after "Saturnus", the roman god of agriculture.
  4. Saturn orbital period to move around sun is  29 and half earth years
  5. Saturn is called gas giant because it is not made of any solid material but light gases (hydrogen and helium).
  6. Saturn has largest rings. These are made up of pieces of ice, rocks and dust.
  7. The diagram is attached below:

An advanced computer sends information to its various parts via infrared light pulses traveling through silicon fibers (n = 3.50
sasho [114]

Answer:

d = 6.43 cm

Explanation:

Given:

- Speed resistance coefficient in silicon n = 3.50

- Memory takes processing time t_p = 0.50 ns

- Information is to be obtained within T = 2.0 ns

Find:

- What is the maximum distance the memory unit can be from the central processing unit?

Solution:

- The amount of time taken for information pulse to travel to memory unit:

                            t_m = T - t_p

                            t_m = 2.0 - 0.5 = 1.5 ns

- We will use a basic relationship for distance traveled with respect to speed of light and time:

                           d = V*t_m

- Where speed of light in silicon medium is given by:

                           V = c / n

- Hence,              d = c*t_m / n

-Evaluate:           d = 3*10^8*1.5*10^-9 / 3.50

                           d = 0.129 m 12.9 cm

- The above is the distance for pulse going to and fro the memory and central unit. So the distance between the two is actually d / 2 = 6.43 cm

Read each scenario and then answer the question. Scenario A: 120 J of work is done in 6 s. Scenario B: 160 J of work is done in
Alexeev081 [22]

The power in every scenario is the same. Power is the measurement of the energy transfer over time.

<h3>What is power?</h3>

Power is the measurement of the energy transfer over time. It can be calculated by the formula,

P = \dfrac Wt

Where,

P- power

W - work

t - time

In scenario A,

P = \dfrac {120 }6 = 20 \rm \ W

In scenario B,

P = \dfrac {160 }8 = 20 \rm \ W

In scenario B,

P = \dfrac {200 }{10} = 20 \rm \ W

Therefore, the power in every scenario is the same.

Far out in space, a 100,000-kg rocket and a 200,000-kg rocket are docked at opposite ends of a motionless 90m-long tunnel. The t
postnew [5]

Answer:

a) X_{cm} = 60m

b) I = 5.4*10^8Kg*m^2

c) T= 4.5*10^6 N*m

d) a = 8.3*10^{-3}rad/s^2

e) W= 0.25 rad/s

Explanation:

a) we know that:

X_{cm} = \frac{m_1x_1+m_2x_2}{m1+m2}

where X_cm is the ubicaton of the center of mass, m_1 the mass of the first rocket, x_1 its distances with the rocket 1, m_2 the mass of the second rocket and x_2 its distance with the rocket 1. So, replacing values, we get:

X_{cm} = \frac{(100,000kg)(0)+(200,000kg)(90m)}{100,000kg+200,000kg}

X_{cm} = 60m

So, the center of mass is at 60m from the rocket 1.

b) we know that:

I = M_1R_1^2 +M_2R_2^2

where I is the moment of inertia, M_1 is the mass of the rocket 1, R_1 its distance from the center of mass, M_2 the mass of the second rocket and R_2 the distance between the rocket 2 and the center of mass. So, replacing values, we get:

I = (100,000kg)(60m)^2 +(200,000kg)(30m)^2

I = 5.4*10^8Kg*m^2

c) We know that:

T = Fr

where T is the net torque, F is the force and r is the distance between the rocket and the radius. Then:

FR_1+FR_2 = T

Replacing values, we get:

50,000N(60m)+50,000N(30m) = T

T= 4.5*10^6 N*m

d) We know that:

T = Ia

where T is the net torque, I the moment of inertia and a is the angular aceleration. So, replacing values, we get:

4.5*10^6Nm = 5.4*10^8Kg*m^2a

solving for a:

a = 8.3*10^{-3}rad/s^2

e) Finally, using:

W = at

where W is the angular velocity, a is the angular aceleration and t is the time.

Then, replacing values. we get:

W = (8.3*10^{-3}rad/s^2)(30s)

W = 0.25 rad/s

A spherical balloon is inflating with helium at a rate of 72 ft2/min . How fast is the​ balloon's radius increasing at the insta
Yanka [14]

The volume of the balloon is given by:

V = 4πr³/3

V = volume, r = radius

Differentiate both sides with respect to time t:

dV/dt = 4πr²(dr/dt)

Isolate dr/dt:

dr/dt = (dV/dt)/(4πr²)

Given values:

dV/dt = 72ft³/min

r = 3ft

Plug in and solve for dr/dt:

dr/dt = 72/(4π(3)²)

dr/dt = 0.64ft/min

The radius is increasing at a rate of 0.64ft/min

The surface area of the balloon is given by:

A = 4πr²

A = surface area, r = radius

Differentiate both sides with respect to time t:

dA/dt = 8πr(dr/dt)

Given values:

r = 3ft

dr/dt = 0.64ft/min

Plug in and solve for dA/dt:

dA/dt = 8π(3)(0.64)

dA/dt = 48.25ft²/min

The surface area is changing at a rate of 48.25ft²/min

How varicose veins form?
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Varicose veins are caused by increased blood pressure in the veins. Varicose veins happen in the veins near the surface of the skin (superficial). The blood moves towards the heart by one-way valves in the veins. When the valves become weakened or damaged, blood can collect in the veins.
