Explain all answers clearly, with complete sentences and proper essay structure, if needed. An asterisk (*) designates a quantitative problem, for which you should show all your work.
An Early Solar Wind. Suppose the solar wind had cleared away the solar nebula before the seeds of the jovian planets could gravitationally draw in hydrogen and helium gas. How would the planets of the outer solar system be different? Would they still have many moons? Explain your answer in few sentences.

- Calculate the density of Jupiter. Show your work. Is it more or less dense than Earth? Why?arrow_forwardUsing Appendix G, complete the following table that describes the characteristics of the Galilean moons of Jupiter, starting from Jupiter and moving outward in distance. Table A This system has often been described as a mini solar system. Why might this be so? If Jupiter were to represent the Sun and the Galilean moons represented planets, which moons could be considered more terrestrial in nature and which ones more like gas/ice giants? Why? (Hint: Use the values in your table to help explain your categorization.)arrow_forwardFor problems requiring calculations, show the equation you will use to solve, your work, your answer, and correct units.

A man in the "Strong Man" competition pushes a 1500 kg vehicle with an acceleration of 3 m/s2? How much force did the man exert on the vehicle? 9. Using your answer from the previous question, what force did the vehicle exert on the man?arrow_forward
- PLEASE be clear in your answer since the last time I posted was incorrect and only answer part a, thanks.arrow_forward1. What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of using points near the corners of aphoto for scale computations?2. Would you consider the aerial photo as a map substitute than a topo map? Why?3. Aside from using the topographic map, suggest other means of determining the scale of an aerialphoto. Cite your references if there are any.arrow_forwardPlease answer the question and its subquestions entirely! This is one question with two subquestions. According to the official Bartleby guidelines, I am alowed to have up to two subquestion! 1) When an ice-skater spins and increases her rotation rate by pulling her arms and leg in, what happens to her kinetic energy? It stays the same. It increases. It decreases. a) A 0.400 kg mass, sitting on a horizontal frictionless surface, is attached to the end of a 0.750 m string. It is whirled around in a circular horizontal path. If the maximum tension that the string can withstand is 450 N, then what maximum velocity can the mass have if the string is not to break? 375 m/s 22.4 m/s 19.4 m/s 29.0 m/s b) A grinding wheel with a moment of inertia of 2 kg-m 2 has a 2.50 N-m torque applied to it. What is its final kinetic energy 10 seconds after starting from rest? 312 J 237 J 156 J 106 Jarrow_forward
- PLEASE be clear in your answer since the last time I posted was incorrect, and only answer part b, thanks.arrow_forwardHello, part D was incorrect, and where does the six come from?? I confused on reading the grapharrow_forwardI need urgent answers on the photo provided here pls. Thank you so much.arrow_forward
- Please explain in full detail as I am trying to understand this concept! thank you! a. Sketch a diagram including Earth, Sun, and Mars, with attention to scale of distance (Mars is about 1.5 AU from the Sun) showing a faster trajectory from Earth to Mars than the minimal energy trajectory discussed in the lecture. b. Without doing a calculation, how would the arrival velocity of the spacecraft at Mars for the case in (a) compare to the spacecraft arrival in the class example? The lecture example had the spacecraft arriving at Mars with a velocity of 22.49 km/sec. c. The average velocity of Mars in orbit around the Sun is 24.08 km/sec. Comment on the trade-offs between trajectories, arrival velocities and velocity changes (delta V) required to enter an orbit around Mars.arrow_forwardSuppose that the Earth grew to its present size in 1 million years through the accretion of particles averaging 0.1 kg each. On average how many particles did the Earth capture each second? (Assume that the Earth's mass is 6 x 1024 kg.) Please show all work.arrow_forwardCalculate the density of Saturn. Show your work. How does it compare with the density of water? Explain how this can be.arrow_forward
