Answer

  • The mass of Rhea is 2.321021鈥塳驳.
  • The density of Rhea is 1242鈥塳驳/m3.

Step by step solution

01

Step-by-Step Solution Step 1: Identification of given Data

  • Radius of Rhea is RR=764鈥塳尘103鈥尘1鈥塳尘=764103鈥尘.
  • Acceleration due to gravity at the surface of Rhea is gR=0.265鈥尘/s2.
02

Estimation of mass of Rhea

The acceleration due to gravity at the surface of Rhea can be expressed as,

gR=GMRRR2

Here, is the mass of the Rhea, G is the gravitational constant, is the radius of Rhea.

Hence the mass of Rhea can be expressed as,

MR=gRRR2G

Substitute 764103鈥尘for RR, 0.265鈥尘/s2for gR,6.671011鈥塏m2kg2 for G.

MR=0.265鈥尘/s2764103鈥尘26.671011鈥塏m2kg21kgkg2m/Ns2=2.321021鈥塳驳

Thus, the mass of Rhea is 2.32 x 1021Kg.

03

Estimation of average density of Rhea

Consider the shape of Rhea is spherical. Then density of Rhea can be expressed as,

R=MRVRR=MR43RR3

Substitute 2.321021鈥塳驳for MR, 764103鈥尘for RR.

R=2.321021鈥塳驳43764103鈥尘3=1242鈥塳驳/m3

Thus, the density of Rhea is 1242 kg/m3.

A closed and elevated vertical cylindrical tank with diameter 2.00 m contains water to a depth of 0.800 m. A worker accidently pokes a circular hole with diameter 0.0200 m in the bottom of the tank. As the water drains from the tank, compressed air above the water in the tank maintains a gauge pressure of 5 X 103Pa at the surface of the water. Ignore any effects of viscosity. (a) Just after the hole is made, what is the speed of the water as it emerges from the hole? What is the ratio of this speed to the efflux speed if the top of the tank is open to the air? (b) How much time does it take for all the water to drain from the tank? What is the ratio of this time to the time it takes for the tank to drain if the top of the tank is open to the air?

A useful and easy-to-remember approximate value for the number of seconds in a year is饾洃脳107. Determine the percent error in this approximate value. (There are 365.24 days in one year.)

(a) The recommended daily allowance (RDA) of the trace metal magnesium is 410 mg/day for males. Express this quantity in 碌g/day. (b) For adults, the RDA of the amino acid lysine is 12 mg per kg of body weight. How many grams per day should a 75-kg adult receive? (c) A typical multivitamin tablet can contain 2.0 mg of vitamin B2 (riboflavin), and the RDA is 0.0030 g/day. How many such tablets should a person take each day to get the proper amount of this vitamin, if he gets none from other sources? (d) The RDA for the trace element selenium is 0.000070 g/day. Express this dose in mg/day.

Neutron stars, such as the one at the center of the Crab Nebula, have about the same mass as our sun but have a much smaller diameter. If you weigh 675Non the earth, what would you weigh at the surface of a neutron star that has the same mass as our sun and a diameter of 20km?

A Honda Civic travels in a straight line along a road. The car鈥檚 distance x from a stop sign is given as a function of time t by the equationxt=t2-t3 where role="math" localid="1655226337795" =1.50m/s2androle="math" localid="1655226362269" =0.0500m/s2 . Calculate the average velocity of the car for each time interval: (a) t = 0 to t = 2.00 s; (b) t = 0 to t = 4.00 s; (c) t = 2.00 s to t = 4.00 s.
