Chapter 18, Problem 1RQ
Why is Jupiter so much richer in hydrogen and helium than Earth?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
To explain:
The reason why Jupiter is rich in hydrogen and helium gas than Earth.
Answer to Problem 1RQ
In Jupiter, hydrogen and helium gas are directly pulled from the solar nebula direct by gravitation collapse.
Explanation of Solution
During the formation of the inner planet, ice does not take part because the planets located near the sun are too hot. On the other hand, in the solar system, on the colder planets, the water vapor on its surface freezes to form ice particles.
These ice particles react rapidly into the Jovian proto-planets and therefore Jovian planet is able to pull hydrogen and helium from the solar nebula by gravitational collapse.
Conclusion:
The position of Jupiter from the sun and the formation of ice particles are some of the factors which increase the presence of hydrogen and helium on the planet.

I am having trouble with this part of the lab.
Mick and Rick are twins born on Earth in the year 2175. Rick grows up to be an Earth-bound robotics technician while Mick becomes an intergalactic astronaut. Mick leaves the Earth on his first space mission in the year 2200 and travels, according to his clock, for 10 years at a speed of 0.75c. Unfortunately, at this point in his journey, the structure of his ship undergoes mechanical breakdown and the ship explodes. How old is Rick when his brother dies?
Hi,
I have canceled, why did you charge me again?

Determine whether a current is induced in the metal loop. If so, indicate the direction of the current in the loop, either clockwise or counterclockwise when seen from the right of the loop. The axis of the magnet is lined up with the center of the loop. For the action depicted in (Figure 5), indicate the direction of the induced current in the loop (clockwise, counterclockwise or zero, when seen from the right of the loop).
