1. A 9.4×1021 kg moon orbits a distant planet in a circular orbit of radius 1.5×108 m. It experiences a 1.1×1019 N gravitational

pull from the planet. What is the moon’s orbital period in earth days?

Answer:

26days

Explanation:

Centripetal force is the force that tend to pull an object moving in a circular path towards the centre.

Mathematically;

Centripetal force Fc = mv²/r where;

m is the mass of the moon = 9.4×10^21kg

v is the velocity of the moon in a circular orbit

r is the radius of the circular orbit = 1.5×10^8m

Fc is the gravitational force experienced by the moon = 1.1×10^19N

Before we can get the period, we need to know the velocity at which the moon is moving around the circular orbit.

Substituting the given datas in the formula above we have;

1.1×10^19 = 9.4×10^21v²/1.5×10^8

Cross multiplying we will have;

1.65×10^27 = 9.4×10^21v²

v² =1.65×10^27/9.4×10^21

v² = 0.176×10^6

v= √0.176×10^6

v = 419.53m/s

To get the moon orbital period T, we will use the relationship;

T = 2πr/v where

T = 2π(1.5×10^8)/419.53

T = 9.42×10^8/419.53

T = 2,246,508.7seconds

Converting to days

If 24hours = 1day

(24×60×60)seconds = 1day

If 86400seconds = 1day

2,246,508.7seconds = x days

Cross multiplying we have

x × 86400 = 2,246,508.7

x = 2,246,508.7/86,400

x = 26days

Therefore the moon orbital period in earth days is approximately 26days.

Answer:

26 days

Explanation:

m = 9.4×1021 kg

r= 1.5×108 m

F = 1.1×10^ 19 N

We know Fc = $\frac{m v^{2} }{r}$

==> 1.1 × $10^{19}$ = (9.4 × $10^{21}$ × $v^{2}$ ) ÷ 1.5 × $10^{8}$

==> 1.1 × $10^{19}$ = $v^{2}$ × 6.26× $10^{13}$

==> $v^{2}$ = 1.1 × $10^{19}$ ÷ 6.26× $10^{13}$

==> $v^{2}$ = 0.17571885 × $10^{6}$

==> v= 0.419188323 × $10^{3}$ m/sec

==> v= 419.188322834 m/s

Putting value of r and v from above in ;

T= 2πr ÷ v

==> T= 2×3.14×1.5× $10^{8}$ ÷ 0.419188323 × $10^{3}$

==> T = 22.472× 100000 = 2247200 sec

but

86400 sec = 1 day

==> 2247200 sec= 2247200 ÷ 86400 = 26 days

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

The newton’s second law is F=ma

The Gravitational force is $F=\dfrac{Gm_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}$

Explanation:

Given that,

The equivalent formulas for velocity, acceleration, and force using the relationships covered for UCM, Newton’s Laws, and Gravitation.

We know that,

Velocity :

The velocity is equal to the rate of position of the object.

$v=\dfrac{dx}{dt}$ ....(I)

Acceleration :

The acceleration is equal to the rate of velocity of the object.

$a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}$ ....(II)

Newton’s second Laws

The force is equal to the change in momentum.

In mathematically,

$F=\dfrac{d(p)}{dt}$

Put the value of p

$F=\dfrac{d(mv)}{dt}$

$F=m\dfrac{dv}{dt}$

Put the value from equation (II)

$F=ma$

This is newton’s second laws.

Gravitational force :

The force is equal to the product of mass of objects and divided by square of distance.

In mathematically,

$F=\dfrac{Gm_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}$

Where, m₁₂ = mass of first object

m= mass of second object

r = distance between both objects

Hence, The newton’s second law is F=ma

The Gravitational force is $F=\dfrac{Gm_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}$

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

One of the ways to address this issue is through the options given by the statement. The concepts related to the continuity equation and the Bernoulli equation.

Through these two equations it is possible to observe the behavior of the fluid, specifically the velocity at a constant height.

By definition the equation of continuity is,

$A_1V_1=A_2V_2$

In the problem $A_2$ is $2A_1$ , then

$A_1V_1=2A_1V_2$

$V_2 = \frac{V_1}{2}$

<em>Here we can conclude that by means of the continuity when increasing the Area, a decrease will be obtained - in the diminished times in the area - in the speed.</em>

For the particular case of Bernoulli we have to

$P_1 + \frac{1}{2}\rho V_1^2 = P_2 +\frac{1}{2}\rho V_2^2$

$P_2-P_1 = \frac{1}{2} \rho (V_1^2-V_2^2)$

For the previous definition we can now replace,

$P_2-P_1 = \frac{1}{2} \rho (V_1^2-(\frac{V_1}{2})^2)$

$\Delta P = \frac{3}{8} \rho V_1^2$

<em>Expressed from Bernoulli's equation we can identify that the greater the change that exists in pressure, fluid velocity will tend to decrease</em>

The correct answer is B: "If we increase A2 then by the continuity equation the speed of the fluid should decrease. Bernoulli's equation then shows that if the velocity of the fluid decreases (at constant height conditions) then the pressure of the fluid should increase"
