Answer:
Explanation:
The specific heat of gold is 129 J/kgC
It's melting point is 1336 K
It's Heat of fusion is 63000 J/kg
Assuming that the mixture will be solid, the thermal energy to solidify the gold has to be less than that needed to raise the solid gold to the melting point. So,
The first is E1 = 63000 J/kg x 1.5 = 94500 J
the second is E2 = 129 J/kgC x 2 kg x (1336–1000)K = 86688 J
Therefore, all solid is not correct. You will have a mixture of solid and liquid.
For more detail, the difference between E1 and E2 is 7812 J, and that will melt
7812/63000 = 0.124 kg of the solid gold
The formula for kinetic energy is
. Thus, the equation for velocity is
.
There are other forces at work here nevertheless we will imagine
it is just a conservation of momentum exercise. Also the given mass of the
astronaut is light astronaut.
The solution for this problem is using the formula: m1V1=m2V2 but
we need to get V1:
V1= (m2/m1) V2
V1= (10/63) 12 = 1.9 m/s will be the final speed of the astronaut after
throwing the tank.
Answer: Mass of the planet, M= 8.53 x 10^8kg
Explanation:
Given Radius = 2.0 x 106m
Period T = 7h 11m
Using the third law of kepler's equation which states that the square of the orbital period of any planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit.
This is represented by the equation
T^2 = ( 4π^2/GM) R^3
Where T is the period in seconds
T = (7h x 60m + 11m)(60 sec)
= 25860 sec
G represents the gravitational constant
= 6.6 x 10^-11 N.m^2/kg^2 and M is the mass of the planet
Making M the subject of the formula,
M = (4π^2/G)*R^3/T^2
M = (4π^2/ 6.6 x10^-11)*(2×106m)^3(25860s)^2
Therefore Mass of the planet, M= 8.53 x 10^8kg
