Answer to Problem 1QFR

The mass of Jupiter around 300 times heavier than the Earth and its radius is 11 times greater than Earth. Jupiter is slightly greater than the Saturn around the mass is 3 times as that of Saturn.

Explanation of Solution

Jupiter is fifth planet from the Sun, which is a gas giant whose radius is around 70 thousand kilometres. The atmosphere of Jupiter is quite similar to the Sun, consisting Hydrogen and Helium.

Jupiter is the Giant planet in the solar system with around 11 times greater than the radius of the Earth and roughly around 300 times heavier than the Earth.

Saturn is a outer planet, it is slightly greater than the Saturn around the mass is 3 times as that of Saturn..

Conclusion:

Therefore, the mass of Jupiter around 300 times heavier than the Earth and its radius is 11 times greater than Earth. Jupiter is slightly greater than the Saturn around the mass is 3 times as that of Saturn.

(a) Calculate the number of electrons in a small, electrically neutral silver pin that has a mass of 13.0 g. Silver has 47 electrons per atom, and its molar mass is 107.87 g/mol.
8 Two moving charged particles exert forces on each other because each creates a magnetic field that acts on the other. These two "Lorentz" forces are proportional to vix (2 xr) and 2 x (vi x-r), where is the vector between the particle positions. Show that these two forces are equal and opposite in accordance with Newton's third law if and only if rx (vi × 2) = 0.
6 The force = +3 + 2k acts at the point (1, 1, 1). Find the torque of the force about (a) (b) the point (2, -1, 5). Careful about the direction of ŕ between the two points. the line = 21-+5k+ (i-+2k)t. Note that the line goes through the point (2, -1, 5).
