Astronomers have discovered a new planet called "Xandar" beyond the orbit of Pluto (No, not really but I need a fake planet for

this problem!). It has a satellite called "Jim" that orbits with a period of 12.9 days at a distance of 72,600 km. What is the mass of "Xandar"?

Answer:

m = 1.82E+23 kg

Explanation:

G = universal gravitational constant = 6.67E-11 N·m²/kg²

r = radius of orbit = 72,600 km = 7.26E+07 m

C = circumference of orbit = 2πr = 4.56E+08 m

P = period of orbit = 12.9 d = 1,114,560 s

v = orbital velocity of satellite Jim = C/P = 409 m/s

m = mass of Xandar = to be determined

v = √(Gm/r)

v² = [√(Gm/r)]²

v² = Gm/r

rv² = Gm

rv²/G = m

m = rv²/G

mG = universal gravitational constant = 6.67E-11 N·m²/kg²

r = radius of orbit = 72,600 km = 7.26E+07 m

C = circumference of orbit = 2πr = 4.56E+08 m

P = period of orbit = 12.9 d = 1,114,560 s

v = orbital velocity of satellite Jim = C/P = 409 m/s

m = mass of Xandar = to be determined

v = √(Gm/r)

v² = [√(Gm/r)]²

v² = Gm/r

rv² = Gm

rv²/G = m

m = rv²/G

m = 1.82E+23 kg

A block of mass m1 = 3.5 kg moves with velocity v1 = 6.3 m/s on a frictionless surface. it collides with block of mass m2 = 1.7
maxonik [38]
First, let's find the speed v_i of the two blocks m1 and m2 sticked together after the collision.
We can use the conservation of momentum to solve this part. Initially, block 2 is stationary, so only block 1 has momentum different from zero, and it is:
p_i = m_1 v_1
After the collision, the two blocks stick together and so now they have mass m_1 +m_2 and they are moving with speed v_i:
p_f = (m_1 + m_2)v_i
For conservation of momentum
p_i=p_f
So we can write
m_1 v_1 = (m_1 +m_2)v_i
From which we find
v_i =  \frac{m_1 v_1}{m_1+m_2}= \frac{(3.5 kg)(6.3 m/s)}{3.5 kg+1.7 kg}=4.2 m/s

The two blocks enter the rough path with this velocity, then they are decelerated because of the frictional force \mu (m_1+m_2)g. The work done by the frictional force to stop the two blocks is
\mu (m_1+m_2)g  d
where d is the distance covered by the two blocks before stopping.
The initial kinetic energy of the two blocks together, just before entering the rough path, is
\frac{1}{2} (m_1+m_2)v_i^2
When the two blocks stop, all this kinetic energy is lost, because their velocity becomes zero; for the work-energy theorem, the loss in kinetic energy must be equal to the work done by the frictional force:
\frac{1}{2} (m_1+m_2)v_i^2 =\mu (m_1+m_2)g  d
From which we can find the value of the coefficient of kinetic friction:
\mu =  \frac{v_i^2}{2gd}= \frac{(4.2 m/s)^2}{2(9.81 m/s^2)(1.85 m)}=0.49

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

Trained dolphins are capable of a vertical leap of 7.0 m straight up from the surface of the water - an impressive feat. Suppose
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:14 m

Explanation:

Given

Vertical jump make by the dolphin is given by h=7\ m

Suppose the dolphin jump with an initial velocity of u

so u is given by u^2=2\cdot g\cdot h

If dolphin launches at an angle \theta then maximum horizontal range is given by

assuming the of Dolphin to be Projectile so range is given by

R=\frac{u^2\sin 2\theta }{g}

substitute the value of u^2

R=\frac{2\times 9.8\times 7\sin 2\theta }{9.8}

R=2h\sin 2\theta

Range will be maximum for \theta =45^{\circ}

thus R_{max}=2\times 7\times 1=14\ m

In a common but dangerous prank, a chair is pulled away as a person is moving downward to sit on it, causing the victim to land
sattari [20]

Answer:

a) Impulse |J|= 219.4 kgm/s

b) Force F = 2672 N

Explanation:

Given

Height of fall h = 0.50 m

Mass M = 70 kg

Period of collision t = 0.082 s

Solution

The final velocity of the person v is zero since the person will come to rest.

The initial velocity of the person can be calculated by using the "law of conservation of energy".

Initial Kinetic energy = Final potential energy

\frac{1}{2} mu^2=mgh\\\\u = \sqrt{2gh} \\\\u = \sqrt{2 \times 9.81 \times 0.50} \\\\u = 3.13 m/s

a) Impulse

J = final momentum - initial momentum

J = mv -mu\\\\J = 0 - (70 \times 3.13)\\\\J = -219.2 kgm/s

Magnitude of impulse

|J| = 219.1 kgm/s

b) Force

F = \frac{J}{t} \\\\F = \frac{219.1}{0.082} \\\\F = 2672 N

The speed of light in a transparent medium is 0.6 times that of its speed in vacuum. Find the refractive index of the medium.
grin007 [14]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The refractive index is 1.66

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The speed of light in a transparent medium is 0.6 times that of its speed in vacuum .

Refractive index of medium = speed of light in vacuum / speed of light in medium  

So

RI = 1/0.6 = 5/3 or 1.66
