Nora tied a string around a tennis ball, and then she swung it in a circle in front of her to demonstrate a planet orbiting the

Sun. She explained that her hand represented the Sun, the ball represented a planet, and the string kept the ball from leaving the "orbit" around her hand. Why doesn't the string work in the same way as gravity? A. The string holding the ball in orbit is a contact force; gravity is a noncontact force. B. The string only pulls one way; gravity pulls both ways. C. The string keeps the distance between the bodies the same; gravity makes the distance vary. D. There is no difference between the two systems.

<em>Choice-A </em>is a true statement. The string holding the ball in orbit is a contact force, whereas gravity is a non-contact force.

Choice-C is half-true.  The string keeps the distance between the bodies constant, but gravity doesn't "MAKE" the distance vary.

A particular string resonates in four loops at a frequency of 320 Hz . Name at least three other (smaller) frequencies at which
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

160 Hz  ,  240 Hz  , 400 Hz

Explanation:

Given that

Frequency of forth harmonic is 320 Hz.

Lets take fundamental frequency = f₁

f_1=\dfrac{320}{4}\ Hz

f₁=80 Hz

Frequency of first harmonic = f₂

f₂=2 f₁

f₂ =2 x 80 = 160 Hz

Frequency of second harmonic = f₃

f₃= 3 f₁=3 x 80 = 240 Hz

Frequency of fifth harmonic = f₅

f₅=  5 f₁= 5 x 80 = 400 Hz

Three frequencies are as follows

160 Hz  ,  240 Hz  , 400 Hz

A cylinder rotating about its axis with a constant angular acceleration of 1.6 rad/s2 starts from rest at t = 0. At the instant
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

The magnitude of the total linear acceleration is 0.27 m/s²

b. 0.27 m/s²

Explanation:

The total linear acceleration is the vector sum of the tangential acceleration and radial acceleration.

The radial acceleration is given by;

a_t = ar

where;

a is the angular acceleration and

r is the radius of the circular path

a_t = ar\\\\a_t = 1.6 *0.13\\\\a_t = 0.208 \ m/s^2

Determine time of the rotation;

\theta = \frac{1}{2} at^2\\\\0.4 = \frac{1}{2} (1.6)t^2\\\\t^2 = 0.5\\\\t = \sqrt{0.5} \\\\t = 0.707 \ s\\\\

Determine angular velocity

ω = at

ω = 1.6 x 0.707

ω = 1.131 rad/s

Now, determine the radial acceleration

a_r = \omega ^2r\\\\a_r = 1.131^2 (0.13)\\\\a_r = 0.166 \ m/s^2

The magnitude of total linear acceleration is given by;

a = \sqrt{a_t^2 + a_r^2} \\\\a = \sqrt{0.208^2 + 0.166^2} \\\\a = 0.266 \ m/s^2\\\\a = 0.27  \ m/s^2

Therefore, the magnitude of the total linear acceleration is 0.27 m/s²

b. 0.27 m/s²

"As the Voyager spacecraft penetrated into the outer solar system, the illumination from the Sun declined. Relative to the situa
____ [38]

Answer:

\frac{I_{2}}{I_{1}} = 0.04

Explanation:

The intensity of a star noticed at a certain distance is inversely proportional to the square of distance. Then:

I_{1}\cdot r_{1}^{2} = I_{2}\cdot r_{2}^{2}

The intensity of the Sun in Jupiter relative to Earth is:

\frac{I_{2}}{I_{1}} = \frac{r_{1}^{2}}{r_{2}^{2}}

\frac{I_{2}}{I_{1}} = \left(\frac{1\,AU}{5.2\,AU} \right) ^{2}

\frac{I_{2}}{I_{1}} = 0.04

Jenny puts a book on her desk. she lifts the book up with her finger, using a force of 0.5N .The cover is 10cm wide .
zepelin [54]

The turning moment on the cover of the book is 0.05 Nm.

Explanation:

Given:

Force applied (F) = 0.5 N

Distance covered (d) = 10 cm

Converting Distance covered from cm to meter we get (d)= 0.1 m

To find:

Turning Moment (M) on the cover of the book = ?

Formula to be used:                                    

Turning Moment (M) = F × d

                                  = 0.5 × 0.1

                                   = 0.05 Nm

Thus the turning moment on the cover of the book is found to be 0.05 Nm

Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos. Phobos orbits Mars at a distance of 9380 km from Mars's center, while Deimos orbits at 23
Sloan [31]

Answer:

The ratio is   \frac{T_1}{T_2}  = 3.965

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  radius of Phobos orbit is  R_2 =  9380 km

    The radius  of Deimos orbit is  R_1  =  23500 \  km

Generally from Kepler's third law

    T^2 =  \frac{ 4 *  \pi^2 *  R^3}{G * M  }

Here M is the mass of Mars which is constant

        G is the gravitational  constant

So we see that \frac{ 4 *  \pi^2  }{G * M  } =  constant

   

    T^2 = R^3   *  constant      

=>  [\frac{T_1}{T_2} ]^2 =  [\frac{R_1}{R_2} ]^3

Here T_1 is the period of Deimos

and  T_1 is the period of  Phobos

So

      [\frac{T_1}{T_2} ] =  [\frac{R_1}{R_2} ]^{\frac{3}{2}}

=>    \frac{T_1}{T_2}  =  [\frac{23500 }{9380} ]^{\frac{3}{2}}]

=>    \frac{T_1}{T_2}  = 3.965
