Choose the best answer to each of the following. Explain your reasoning.
Which lists the Jovian planets in order of increasing distance from the Sun? (a) Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, (b) Saturn , Jupiter, Uranus , Neptune (c) Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.
The list of Jovian planets in order or increasing distance from the Sun.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Solar system is a family of Sun. Planets, their moons, asteroids, comets, etc. revolve around the sun in elliptical orbits. It was formed about 4.5 billion years ago from the Solar nebula. Solar system has total eight planets. It has four inner planets and four outer planets and in between lies the asteroid belt.
The first four inner planets are terrestrial- Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. These are composed of metallic rocks.
The next four outer planets are Jovian Planets-Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. They are composed of gases, majorly hydrogen and helium. Jovian planets are larger in size as compared to terrestrial planets.
Planets in the increasing order of distance from Sun
- Mercury
- Venus
- Earth
- Mars
- Jupiter
- Saturn
- Uranus
- Neptune
Option a is − Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus
Option b is − Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune
Option c is − Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune
Thus, Jovian planets in the increasing order of distance from the Sun are: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. Option c is correct.
Conclusion:
The Jovian planets arranged in order of increasing distance from the Sun are: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.

- Using 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?

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.

- Procedure Table 11.1 presents Djup and Pday for the major Jovian satellites. First use these data and the equation above to calculate Jupiter’s mass in kilograms (kg). Enter your results in the table for each satellite. Next calculate the average Jupiter mass (Mjup, av) and enter the result in the table. Finally, calculate the percent difference (PD) using Mjup, av and the standard value for Jupiter’s mass (1.9 X 1027 kg). In the calculation of PD you can ignore 1027 because it will appear in both numerator and denominator. ________________________________________________________ Table 11.1 Calculated values for Jupiter’s Mass Satellite Djup Pday Mjup Io 2.95 1.77 Europa 4.69 3.55 Ganymede 7.50 7.15 Callisto 13.15 16.7 __________________________________________________________ Average Jupiter Mass = Percent Difference =arrow_forwardPLEASE be clear in your answer since the last time I posted was incorrect, thanks.arrow_forwardUsing some of the astronomical resources in your college library or the Internet, find five names of features on each of three other worlds that are named after real people.
