The connection between gravity and orbits enables astronomers to measure the __________ of stars and planets.

Physics
1 answer:
Kipish [7]2 years ago

Answer:

mass

Explanation:

astronomers use Newtons gravitational law as a link between gravity and orbits to measure the masses of stars and planets.

Newtons gravitational law states that the gravitational force of attraction between two planets is proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

4.8967m

Explanation:

Given the following data;

M = 0.2kg

∆p = 0.58kgm/s

S(i) = 2.25m

Ratio h/w = 12/75

Firstly, we use conservation of momentum to find the velocity

Therefore, ∆p = MV

0.58kgm/s = 0.2V

V = 0.58/2

V = 2.9m/s

Then, we can use the conservation of energy to solve for maximum height the car can go

E(i) = E(f)

1/2mV² = mgh

Mass cancels out

1/2V² = gh

h = 1/2V²/g = V²/2g

h = (2.9)²/2(9.8)

h = 8.41/19.6 = 0.429m

Since we have gotten the heigh, the next thing is to solve for actual slant of the ramp and initial displacement using similar triangles.

h/w = 0.429/x

X = 0.429×75/12

X = 2.6815

Therefore, by Pythagoreans rule

S(ramp) = √2.68125²+0.429²

S(ramp) = 2.64671

Finally, S(t) = S(ramp) + S(i)

= 2.64671+2.25

= 4.8967m

A planar loop consisting of seven turns of wire, each of which encloses 200 cm2, is oriented perpendicularly to a magnetic field
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

The induced current is 0.084 A

Explanation:

the area given by the exercise is

A = 200 cm^2 = 200x10^-4 m^2

R = 5 Ω

N = 7 turns

The formula of the emf induced according to Faraday's law is equal to:

ε = (-N * dφ)/dt = (N*(b2-b1)*A)/dt

Replacing values:

ε = (7*(38 - 14) * (200x10^-4))/8x10^-3 = 0.42 V

the induced current is equal to:

I = ε /R = 0.42/5 = 0.084 A

A 5.00-g bullet is shot through a 1.00-kg wood block suspended on a string 2.00 m long. The center of mass of the block rises a
o-na [289]

Answer:395.6 m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of bullet m=5 gm

mass of wood block M=1 kg

Length of string L=2 m

Center of mass rises to an height of 0.38 cm

initial velocity of bullet u=450 m/s

let v_1 and v_2 be the velocity of bullet and block after collision

Conserving momentum

mu=mv_1+Mv_2 -------------1

Now after the collision block rises to an height of 0.38 cm

Conserving Energy for block

kinetic energy of block at bottom=Gain in Potential Energy

\frac{Mv_2^2}{2}=Mgh_{cm}

v_2=\sqrt{2gh_{cm}}

v_2=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 0.38}

v_2=0.272 m/s

substitute the value of v_2 in equation 1

5\times 450=5\times v_1+1000\times 0.272

v_1=395.6 m/s

Li is riding her bicycle at 8.0 m/s. She slows down to 4.0 m/s. Her change in velocity is m/s. If Li takes 2 seconds to make thi
forsale [732]
You will have to use this formula:
v = vo + a \times t

Final Velocity (V) = 4m/s
Initial Velocity (Vo) = 8m/s
Acceleration (a) = ? m/s^2
Time (t) = 2 secs

Then:

-> 4 = 8 + a x 2
-> 4 - 8 = 2a
-> -4 = 2a
-> a = -4/2
-> a = -2 m/s^2

Ps: It's value is negative because the she was in retrograde motion.

Answer: Her acceleration is -2 m/s^2.

A 5-kg concrete block is lowered with a downward acceleration of 2.8 m/s2 by means of a rope. The force of the block on the Eart
maksim [4K]

When the body touches the ground two types of Forces will be generated. The Force product of the weight and the Normal Force. This is basically explained in Newton's third law in which we have that for every action there must also be a reaction. If the Force of the weight is pointing towards the earth, the reaction Force of the block will be opposite, that is, upwards and will be equivalent to its weight:

F = mg

Where,

m = mass

g = Gravitational acceleration

F = 5*9.8

F = 49N

Therefore the correct answer is E.
