Why does the moon lack an atmosphere?

1 answer:

8 0

Because when it had any, the warmth of the sun heated the atmosphere to the point where the average speed of the gas molecules exceeded the escape velocity for a body with the moon's mass and size. So, little by little, they escaped.

A parallel-plate capacitor is formed from two 2.7 cm -diameter electrodes spaced 1.4 mm apart. The electric field strength insid

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

The potential difference between the plates is $8.4\times10^{3}\ V$

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 1.4 mm

Electric field strength $E= 6.0\times10^{6}\ N/C$

Let the potential difference is V.

We need to calculate the potential difference between the plates

Using formula of electric field

$E=\dfrac{V}{d}$

$V=Ed$

Where, V = potential

d = distance

Put the value into the formula

$V=6.0\times10^{6}\times1.4\times10^{-3}$

$V=8.4\times10^{3}\ V$

Hence, The potential difference between the plates is $8.4\times10^{3}\ V$

In a standard tensile test, a steel rod of 7 8-in. diameter is subjected to a tension force of 17 kips. Knowing that ν = 0.30 an

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

(a) Elongation of the rod==5.61×10⁻⁹m

(b) Change in diameter=1.640×10⁻⁸m

Explanation:

Given data

Diameter d=78 in=1.9812 m

Cross Area is:

$A=(\pi /4)d^{2} \\A=(\pi /4)(1.9812m)^{2}\\A=3.08m^{2}$

Applied Load P=17 KN=17×10³N

E=29 × 106 psi=1.99947961×10¹¹Pa

Stress and Strain in x direction

Stress in x direction

σ=P/A

$=\frac{17*10^{3}N }{3.08m^{2} }\\ =5517.25Pa$

σ=5517.25 Pa

Strain in x direction

ε=σ/E

$=\frac{5517.25}{1.99947961*10^{11} } \\=2.76*10^{-8}$

ε=2.76×10⁻⁸

Part (a)

Elongation of the rod=Lε

=(0.2032)(2.76×10⁻⁸)

Elongation of the rod==5.61×10⁻⁹m

Part(b) Change in diameter

Strain in y direction

ε₁= -vε

ε₁= -(0.30)(2.76×10⁻⁸)

ε₁=-8.28×10⁻⁹

Change in diameter=d×ε₁

Change in diameter=(1.9812m)×(-8.28×10⁻⁹)

Change in diameter=1.640×10⁻⁸m

Which of the following objects would have the strongest gravitational pull on a third object positioned at an equal distance fro

3241004551 [841]

I believe Box B will have a greater gravitational pull because the gravitational pull of an object depends on its mass. The more mass an object has, the greater its gravitational pull will become.

For example, we can take planets. Naturally, they are round because once upon a time there was a larger piece of rock that attracted others. But the size of the rock won't matter, it's the weight that matters. If the rock weighed nothing, the other rocks would just rebound upon contact. But if the rock weighed a lot, then things wouldn't so easily rebound and might actually stick to it.
