The formula for computing the orbital time period of a body is given as:

T² = 4π²r³ / GM

where T is the time period, r is the distance between the two bodies, G is the gravitational constant and M is the mass of the body that is being orbited. If we compute this time using SI units, the working is:

9.58 AU is 1.43 x 10¹² meters

T = √[(4*π²*(1.43 x 10¹²)³) / (6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ * 2 x 10³⁰)]
T = 9.30 x 10⁸ seconds which is approximately 29 years


Using the astronomical units, distance is in astronomical units and the mass is in solar masses. In these conditions, the ratio:
4π²/G = 1 so

T² = a³ (since the solar mass of the sun is 1)

T = √(9.58)³
T = 27 years

1. Do alto de uma plataforma com 15m de altura, é lançado horizontalmente um projéctil. Pretende-se atingir um alvo localizado n
sveta [45]

Answer:

(a). The initial velocity is 28.58m/s

(b). The speed when touching the ground is 33.3m/s.

Explanation:

The equations governing the position of the projectile are

(1).\: x =v_0t

(2).\: y= 15m-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

where v_0 is the initial velocity.

(a).

When the projectile hits the 50m mark, y=0; therefore,

0=15-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

solving for t we get:

t= 1.75s.

Thus, the projectile must hit the 50m mark in 1.75s, and this condition demands from equation (1) that

50m = v_0(1.75s)

which gives

\boxed{v_0 = 28.58m/s.}

(b).

The horizontal velocity remains unchanged just before the projectile touches the ground because gravity acts only along the vertical direction; therefore,

v_x = 28.58m/s.

the vertical component of the velocity is

v_y = gt \\v_y = (9.8m/s^2)(1.75s)\\\\{v_y = 17.15m/s.

which gives a speed v of

v = \sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}

\boxed{v =33.3m/s.}

A car drives 16 miles south and then 12 miles west. What is the magnitude of the car’s displacement? 4 miles 16 miles 20 miles 2
Ostrovityanka [42]
For this case, what we can do is use the Pythagorean theorem to find the magnitude of the displacement of the car.
 We have then
 d ^ 2 = 16 ^ 2 + 12 ^ 2

 From here, we clear the value of d.
 We have then:
 d =  \sqrt{16 ^ 2 + 12 ^ 2} 

 Rewriting:
 d = \sqrt{256 + 144}
 d = \sqrt{400}
 d = 20 miles

 Answer:
 
The magnitude of the car's displacement is:
 
d = 20 miles

Romeo lanza suavemente guijarros a la ventana de julieta y quiere que los guijarros golpeen la ventana solo con con un component
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

5.219\,\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

Las condiciones del problema requieren el cálculo de la rapidez inicial de los guijarros. Se sabe que el componente vertical de la rapidez final es cero. Por tanto, el tiempo se determina a continuación: (The conditions of this problems require the calculation of the initial speed of the peebles. It is known that vertical component of the final speed is zero. Therefore, the time is determined herein:).

(0\,\frac{m}{s})^{2} = v_{o,y}^{2} - 2\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (4.5\,m)

v_{o,y} = 9.395\,\frac{m}{s}

0\,\frac{m}{s} = 9.395\,\frac{m}{s} - \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot \Delta t

\Delta t = 0.958\,s

Además, se determina el componente horizontal de la rapidez inicial (Likewise, the horizontal component of the initial speed is determined):

v_{o,x} = \frac{5\,m}{0.958\,s}

v_{o,x} = 5.219\,\frac{m}{s}

El guijarro tiene una rapidez de 5.219\,\frac{m}{s} cuando golpea la ventana (The peeble has a speed of  5.219\,\frac{m}{s} when it hits the window).

At the end of the school day, at exactly 2:30 pm, a group of students run out of the school building and reach the edge of the s
Fofino [41]

Explanation:

Initial time, t₁ = 2:30 pm

Final time, t₂ = 2:30:45

We need to find the motion of students in terms of time. Final time is 45 seconds more than the initial time.

Change in time,

\Delta t=t_2-t_1\\\\\Delta t=2:30:45-2.30\\\\\Delta t=45\ s

Hence, this is the required solution.

A baseball player exerts a force of 100 N on a ball for a distance of 0.5 mas he throws it. If the ball has a mass of 0.15 kg, w
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

25.82 m/s

Explanation:

We are given;

Force exerted by baseball player; F = 100 N

Distance covered by ball; d = 0.5 m

Mass of ball; m = 0.15 kg

Now, to get the velocity at which the ball leaves his hand, we will equate the work done to the kinetic energy.

We should note that work done is a measure of the energy exerted by the baseball player.

Thus;

F × d = ½mv²

100 × 0.5 = ½ × 0.15 × v²

v² = (2 × 100 × 0.5)/0.15

v² = 666.67

v = √666.67

v = 25.82 m/s
