1. How does the mass of Jupiter compare to Earth?

Physics

sammy [17]3 years ago

Answer:

1.

Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system. (Image credit: NASA)

The largest planet in the solar system, the gas giant Jupiter is approximately 318 times as massive as Earth. If the mass of all of the other planets in the solar system were combined into one "super planet," Jupiter would still be two and a half times as large.

2.Rotation of Jupiter

[/caption]

Jupiter has the fastest rotation of all the planets in the Solar System, completing one rotation on its axis every 9.9 hours.

3.Jupiter, the King of the Planets, is a gas giant, which means that it's made mostly of gases like hydrogen and helium, and that it doesn't have a solid surface in the way that rocky planets like Earth do. With a temperature of 130 K (-140 C, -230 F), it's so cold that it gives off most of its energy in the infrared. In fact, Jupiter gives off almost twice as much heat as it receives from the Sun. It's able to do this because it has its own internal heat source, powered by the slow gravitational collapse that started when the planet first formed. Astronomers estimate that Jupiter is currently shrinking by almost 2 cm per year

Gravity on the moon is about 1/6 th the gravity felt on the earth. This is because A) the moon is so far away from the earth. B)
ankoles [38]
<span>So we want to know why is there a difference between the force of gravity on the Moon and the force of gravity of the Earth. So the gravitational force between two objects depends on the masses of both objects. That can be seen from Newtons universal law of gravity. F=G*m1*m2*(1/r^2). So lets say we are holding an object of mass m=1kg on a height r=1m on the Moon and we are holding the same object on the Earth also on the same height of r=1m. The Gravitational force on the Earth will be Fg=G*M*m*(r^2) where M is the mass of the Earth. The force between the moon and that object will be Fg=G*n*m*(r^2), where n is the mass of the moon. Since mass of the Moon is much smaller than mass of the Earth, The gravitational force between the Moon and that body will be almost 6 times smaller than the gravitational force between the Earth and that body. So the correct answer is B. </span>

The distance a spring stretches varies directly as the amount of weight that is hanging on it. A weight of 2.5 pounds stretches
julsineya [31]
We use the equation y = kx
y = 18, x = 2.5

18 = k2.5
k = 7.2

x = 6.4
y = 7.2*6.4
y = 46.08

hope this help

Radiation in the ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum is quite energetic. It is this radiation that causes dyes to
N76 [4]

The  energy of photon in kJ/mol is 329kJ/mol.

Wavelength of radiation is 370nm. The frequency of given wavelength is

            ν = c / λ

            ν = 3×10^8 / 370×10^-9

            ν = 8.11 × 10^14 s^-1

      Now the energy of photon is:

             E = hν

             E = 6.63×10^-34  J.s/photon × 8.11×10^14s^-1

             E = 5.41× 10^-19  J/photon

         To find in mole

              E = 5.41× 10^-19 × 6.022×10^23

               E = 3.29 ×10^ 5 J/mol

   So, the energy of mole of photon is equal to 329 kJ/mol.

How does mass effect potential and kinetic energy on a roller coaster?
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
Potential energy is measured by mass * gravity * height. So, the larger the mass on a roller coaster, the more potential energy it has. 

Also, the higher it is, the more potential energy it has.

What kinds of information does the ALMA radio telescope provide?
zimovet [89]

Answer:

ALMA is a trans-formative radio telescope that can study cosmic light that straddles the boundary between radio and infrared. Most objects in the Universe emit this kind of energy, so the ability to detect it has been a driver for astronomers for decades.
