You can solve this by using The Universal Gravitation Equation: 
F = Gm1m2/r^2
where G is gravitational constant 6.67x10^-11, m1 and m2 are the masses and r is the distance between the two masses.

It is also given that Y=3Z.
Also, don't forget to convert 2100 km into meters = 2.1 x10^6 meters

Substituting the values we have:
6.2x10^8 = (6.67x10^-11)(3Z)(Z)/(2.1x10^6)²
Z = 3.697x10^15 kg
Y = 3Z = 1.11 x10^16 kg

The answer is B.

Explanation:

The Jovian planets are the large planets namely Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune. The terrestrial planets include the Earth, Mercury, Mars, and Venus. According to the nebular theory of solar system formation, the terrestrial planets were formed from silicates and metals. They also had high boiling points which made it possible for them to be located very close to the sun.

The Jovian planets formed beyond the Frostline. This is an area that can support the planets that were made up of icy elements. The large size of the Jovian planets is as a result of the fact that the icy elements were more in number than the metal components of the terrestrial planets.

A mercury thermometer has a glass bulb of interior volume 0.100 cm3 at 10°c. the glass capillary 10) tube above the bulb has an
Nadya [2.5K]
Initial volume of mercury is
V = 0.1 cm³

The temperature rise is 35 - 5 = 30 ⁰C = 30 ⁰K.

Because the coefficient of volume expansion is 1.8x10⁻⁴ 1/K, the change in volume of the mercury is 
ΔV = (1.8x10⁻⁴ 1/K)*(30 ⁰K)(0.1 cm³) = 5.4x10⁻⁴ cm³

The cross sectional area of the tube is
A = 0.012 mm² = (0.012x10⁻² cm²).
Therefore the rise of mercury in the tube is
h = ΔV/A
   = (5.4x10⁻⁴ cm³)/(0.012x10⁻² cm²)
   = 4.5 cm

Answer: 4.5 cm

Alla [95]

Answer:

14.4 m/s

Explanation:

mass of Anna (Ma) = 68 kg

speed of Anna (Va) = 17 m/s

mass of SandraDay (Ms) = 76 kg

speed of SandraDay (Vs) = 12 m/s

We can find their speed (V) immediately after collision from the conservation of momentum where

(Ma x Va) + (Ms + Vs) = (Ma + Ms) x V

where V = speed immediately after collision

(68 x 17) + (76 + 12) = (68 + 76) x V

2068 = 144 V

V = 2068 / 144 = 14.4 m/s
