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

Physics
1 answer:
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

A frog falls from its rainforest tree. If we ignore wind resistance, (a) how much time does it take the frog to fall a distance
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) Using the equation of motion

S = ut + 1/2gt²

S is the distance of fall

g is the acceleration due to gravity

t is the time taken

Given S = 12.0m, g = 9.81m/s^2, un= 0m/s

12 = 0+1/2(9.81)t²

12 = 4.905t²²²

t² = 12/4.905

t² = 2.446

t = √2.446

t = 1.56secs

b) To determine how fast is the frog falling at this point, we need to calculate the speed of the frog. Using the equaton v = u+gt

v = 0+9.81(1.56)

v = 15.34m/s

Hence the frog is falling at the rate of 15.34m/s

What is the definition of the half-life of a radioactive isotope?
Illusion [34]

Answer:Half-life is the amount of time it takes for the initial mass of the isotope to decompose, by half, into other lighter atoms.

Explanation:Different radioactive isotopes have different half-lives. For example, the element technetium-99m has a half life of 6 hours. This means that is 100 kg of the element is left to decay, in 6 hours, 50kg of the mass will have changed into other elements/atoms. The half-life of uranium-238 is 4.5 billion years while that of polonium-216 is only 0.145 seconds.

Water flows through a cast steel pipe (k = 50 W m.K, ε = 0.8) with an outer diameter of 104mm and 2 mm wall thickness. Calculate
masha68 [24]

Answer:

The heat loss per unit length is   \frac{Q}{L}   = 2981 W/m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The outer diameter of the pipe is d = 104mm = \frac{104}{1000} = 0.104 m

     The thickness is  D = 2mm = \frac{2}{1000} = 0.002m  

      The temperature  of water is  T = 90^oC = 90 + 273 = 363K  

      The outside air temperature is T_a = -10^oC = -10 +273 = 263K

        The water side heat transfer coefficient is z_1 = 300 W/ m^2 \cdot K

       The  heat transfer coefficient is  z_2 = 20 W/m^2 \cdot K

The heat lost per unit length is mathematically represented as

           \frac{Q}{L}   = \frac{2 \pi (T - Ta)}{ \frac{ln [\frac{d}{D} ]}{z_1}  +  \frac{ln [\frac{d}{D} ]}{z_2}}

Substituting values

         \frac{Q}{L}   = \frac{2 * 3.142 (363 - 263)}{ \frac{ln [\frac{0.104}{0.002} ]}{300}  +  \frac{ln [\frac{0.104}{0.002} ]}{20}}

           \frac{Q}{L}   = \frac{628}{0.2107}

           \frac{Q}{L}   = 2981 W/m
