Astronomers observe the motion of four planets that orbit a star similar to the Sun. Each planet follows an elliptical orbit around its star. The astronomers measure each planet's orbital period, as shown in the table.
Planet; Orbital Period (Earth days)
Planet W; 10
Planet X; 640
Planet Y; 80
Planet Z; 270
To determine the distance each planet is from the star, astronomers applied one of Kepler's three laws.
Kepler's first law: The path of each planet around a star is an ellipse, with the star at one focus. Kepler's second law: A planet sweeps out equal areas in equal amounts of time as it revolves around the star.
Kepler's third law: The square of the time for one revolution of a planet is proportional to the cube of the radius of its orbit.
Based on the table, identify the planet that is the farthest distance from the star, and indicate which of Kepler's three laws can be used to justify your answer. Enter your answer in the box provided.​

Answer 1

Answer:

planet that is farthest away is planet X

kepler's third law

Explanation:

For this exercise we can use Kepler's third law which is an application of Newton's second law to the case of the orbits of the planets

          T² = ([tex]\frac{4\pi ^2}{ G M_s}[/tex] a³ = K_s a³

           

Let's apply this equation to our case

          a = [tex]\sqrt[3]{ \frac{T^2}{K_s} }[/tex]

for this particular exercise it is not necessary to reduce the period to seconds

Plant W

             10² = K_s  [tex]a_{w}^3[/tex]

             a_w = [tex]\sqrt[3]{ \frac{100}{ K_s} }[/tex]

             a_w = [tex]\frac{1}{ \sqrt[3]{K_s} }[/tex]  4.64

Planet X

             a_x = [tex]\sqrt[3]{ \frac{640^3}{K_s} }[/tex]

             a_x = \frac{1}{ \sqrt[3]{K_s} } 74.3

Planet Y

              a_y = [tex]\sqrt[3]{ \frac{80^2}{K_s} }[/tex]

              a_y = \frac{1}{ \sqrt[3]{K_s} } 18.6

Planet z

              a_z = [tex]\sqrt[3]{ \frac{270^2}{K_s} }[/tex]

              a_z = \frac{1}{ \sqrt[3]{K_s} } 41.8

From the previous results we see that planet that is farthest away is planet X

where we have used kepler's third law

Which of the following is an example of kinetic mechanical energy?
Immersive Reader
(2 Points)

A. A bike rolling down a hill

B. An elevated wrecking ball

C. A compressed spring

D. A loaded gun

E. A set mouse trap

Answers

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Kinetic energy must be moving. Potential energy has the ability to move but is not doing so at the moment.

A is likely the answer. But there's lots involved in that kind of motion.

B If the ball is elevated, it implies it is not moving yet. It has potential energy.

C Again, the spring is compressed. It will push something when it moves, but it is not moving yet.

D The load gun's bullet is not moving. It's still potential energy.

E. The mouse trap is set, but it is not moving. When the mouse eats the bait then it's potential energy will transform into kinetic energy.

a force is applied to the right to drag a sled to the right across Loosely packed snow with a rightward acceleration (considered friction forces)​

Answers

Answer:

1.67 m/s²

Explanation:

Total force is;

ΣF = F_f + F_a

From the free body diagram attached, we see that the frictional force F_f is acting in a negative direction.

Thus;

ΣF = -15 + 30

ΣF = 15 N

Now, to get the acceleration, we will use the formula;

ΣF = ma

We are given m = 9 kg

Thus;

15 = 9a

a = 15/9

a = 1.67 m/s²

The spacecraft was moved closer to the launcher by the same amount Wednesday as it was on Tuesday, and yet its speed went up much more. Claim 3 suggests that the magnetic force was much stronger on Wednesday than on Tuesday.

Consider the two subclaims for Claim 3 and answer the question below.

Claim 3.A: The magnetic force was much stronger on Wednesday because the magnet was stronger.
Claim 3.B: The magnetic force was much stronger on Wednesday because the magnetic force is stronger closer to the magnets.

Which claim do you think is more convincing, and why?

Answers

Answer:

The magnetic force was much stronger on Wednesday because the magnetic force is stronger closer to the magnets.

Explanation:

The magnetic force was much stronger on Wednesday than on Tuesday because the magnetic force is stronger closer to the magnets. Therefore claim 3B is more convincing.

What is magnetic force?

Magnetic force can be described as a consequence of electromagnetic force which is caused due to the motion of charges. A moving charge surrounds itself with a magnetic field and the force that arises due to interacting magnetic fields.

The magnetic force between two moving charges is the effect exerted upon either charge by a magnetic field generated by the other. The magnetic force depends on the charge, the motion of each of the objects, and the separation between them.

The magnitude of the force is determined by the cross product of velocity and the magnetic field is equal to q.[v × B]. The resultant force can be described as perpendicular to the direction of the velocity and the magnetic field.

Therefore, the magnetic force was much stronger closer to the magnets.

PLEASE HELP, THANKS!​

Answers

Answer:

d = 700.4 m

Explanation:

Given that,

The speed of sound through air at 32.0°C is 350.2 m/s.

Reginald sees a bolt of lightning and hears the thunderclap 2.00s later.

We need to find how far from Reginald did the lightning strike. Let the distance be d. So,

Speed = distance/time

d = vt

So,

d = 350.2× 2

d = 700.4  m

So, the required distance is 700.4  m.

what is the acceleration of an object that has a velocity of 25.0m/s and is moving in a circle of a radius of 10.0 m?

Answer:

[tex]a=62.5\ m/s^2[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that,

The velocity of the object, v = 25 m/s

Radius of the circle, r = 10 m

We need to find the acceleration of the object. The centripetal acceleration act on it. It is given by :

[tex]a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}\\\\a=\dfrac{(25)^2}{10}\\\\a=62.5\ m/s^2[/tex]

What is the magnitude and direction of the centripetal force acting on the sample

Answers

Answer:

 F = 1.047 10⁻² N

Explanation:

Let's use kinematics to find the angular acceleration

             w = w₀ + α t

as for rest w₀ = 0

             w = α t

             α = w / t

let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

              w = 1000 rev / min (2π rad/ 1 rev) (1 min/ 60s) = 104.72 rad / s

              m = 1.00 g (1 kg / 1000 g) = 1,000 10⁻³ kg

              r = 10.0 cm (1 m / 100 cm) = 0.100 m

let's calculate

              α = 104.72 / 1

              α = 104.72 rad / s²

angular and linear variables are related

               a = α  r

               a = 104.72 0.100

               a = 10.47 m / s²

finally we substitute in Newton's second law

               F = 1 10⁻³ 10.47

               F = 1.047 10⁻² N

The piston has a mass of 204kg and area of 0.005m2. Atmospheric pressure of 100kPa acts on the top side of the piston. Local gravitational acceleration is 9.81m/s2 Calculate the amount of heat transfer between the water and the surroundings in kJ. Enter a numeric value only. 6735.66

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

At state 1:

Initial Quality [tex]= x_1 = 0.85[/tex]

mass = 10.0 kg

At state 2:

Temperature [tex]T_2 = 320^0[/tex]

mass of the piston [tex]m_p = 204 \ kg[/tex]

area of the piston [tex]A_p = 0.00 5 \ m^2[/tex]

Atmospheric pressure [tex]P_{atm}= 100 \ kPa = 100 \times 10^3 \ Pa[/tex]

Gravitational acceleration = 9.81 m/s²

[tex]\mathbf{P= P_1=P_2}[/tex], This is because there exists no restriction to the movement of the piston and provided the process is frictionless. So, the process 1-2 is regarded as constant.

To calculate the applying force balance over the piston by using force balance in the vertical direction:

[tex]\mathbf{P_{AP} = P_{atmA_p} + m_pg}[/tex]

(100 × 10³)×0.005 + 204 × 9.31 = P × 0.05

P = 500248 Pa

P = 500.25 kPa

At state 1:

[tex]\mathbf{P_1 = P = 500.25 \ kPa}[/tex]

[tex]x_1 = 0.85[/tex]

Hence, this is a saturated mixture of liquid and vapor

Using the steam tables at 500.25 kPa

[tex]V_f = 1.093 \times 10^{-3} \ m^3/kg \\ \\ V_g = 0.375 \ m^3/kg \\ \\ U_f = 639.72 \ kJ/kg \\ \\ U_g = 2560.72 \ kJ/kg[/tex]

Specific volume at state 1 is given as:

[tex]V_1 = [ V_f +x_1(v_g -v_f) ] \ at \ 500.25 \ kPa \\ \\ V_1 = 0.319 \ m^3/kg[/tex]

volume at state 1 is given by:

[tex]V_1 = mV_1 = 10 \times 0.319 \\ \\ V_1 = 3.19 \ m^3[/tex]

Similarly, the specific internal energy is:

[tex]U_1 = [U_f +x_1 (U_o-Uf)] \ at \ 500.25 \ kPa[/tex]

[tex]U_1 = 639.72 +0.82 (2560.72 -639.72)[/tex]

[tex]U_1 = 2272.57 \ kJ/kg[/tex]

At state 2:

[tex]P = P_1 = P_2 = 500.25 \ kPa \\ \\ T_2 = 320^0 \ C[/tex]

Using steam tables at P = 500.25 kPa and T = 320° C

[tex]V_2 = 0.541 \ m^3/kg \\ \\ U_2 = 2835.08 \ kJ/kg[/tex]

[tex]V_2 = mV-2 = 10 \times V_2 = 5.41 \ m^3[/tex]

[tex]\text{Now; Applying the 1st law of thermodynamics to the system}[/tex]

[tex]_1Q_2 -_1W_2 = \Delta V =m(u_2-u_1) \\ \\ where;\ _1W_2 = P(V_2-V_1) \\ \\ _1Q_2 -P(V_2-V_1) = m(u_2-u_1) \\ \\ _1Q_2 - 500.25(5.91 -3.19) = 10( 2835.08 -2272.57) \\ \\ \mathbf{ _1Q_2 = 6735.66 \ kJ}[/tex]

A satellite orbits Earth 350 km above Earth's surface. Calculate the free-fall acceleration at this altitude.

Answers

Answer:

8.82 m/s²

Explanation:

Formula for the free fall or gravitational acceleration is;

a = GM/r²

Where;

G is gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10^(-11) m³/kg.s²

M is mass of earth = 5.972 × 10^(24) kg

r is radius of earth = 6371 km

We are given that the satellite orbits Earth 350 km above Earth's surface.

Thus, new radius = 6371 + 350 = 6721 km = 6721000 m

Thus;

a = (6.67 × 10^(-11) × 5.972 × 10^(24))/(6721000²)

a = 8.82 m/s²

We are given;

F_d = 50 N

Mass of skydiver = 78 kg

Thus, F_g = 78 × -9.8

g is negative since it is a free fall

Thus;

F_g = -764.4 N

ΣF = 50 - 764.4

ΣF = -714.4 N

Formula for acceleration is;

ΣF = ma

a = -714.4/78

How does changing the frequency affect the sound that you hear?

Answers

Answer:

It leads to a higher pitch of sound which means the sound is louder.

Explanation:

When a sound is made, it will cause vibrations to occur.

The size of these vibrations are called amplitude while their speed is called frequency.

Now, the larger the vibrations implies that we will have high amplitude such that the sound is louder, whereas, the higher the frequency, the higher the pitch of sound and vice versa.

The larger the pitch, the louder the sound and vice versa.

Thus, increasing the frequency leads to higher pitch and ultimately louder sound.

The principle of work and kinetic energy (also known as the work-energy theorem) states that the work done by the sum of all forces acting on a particle equals the change in the kinetic energy of the particle. ... Kinetic Energy: A force does work on the block. So the answer would be the first one.

The Work-Energy Theorem states that Work is equal to the change in kinetic energy, which is the first option . This theorem is an essential principle in physics and mechanics, so first option is correct.

Work (W) is a measure of the energy transferred to or from an object by a force acting on it. It is defined as the product of the force applied to the object and the displacement of the object in the direction of the force. When a force does positive work on an object, it transfers energy to the object, increasing its kinetic energy. Conversely, when a force does negative work on an object (opposite to its direction of motion), it takes energy away from the object, decreasing its kinetic energy. So, first option is correct.
