An undiscovered planet, many light-years from Earth, has one moon which has a nearly circular periodic orbit. If the distance fr

om the center of the moon to the surface of the planet is 2.31500 x 10^5 km and the planet has a radius of 4.150 x10^3 km and a mass of 7.15 x10^22 kg, how long (in days) does it take the moon to make one revolution around the planet. The gravitational constant is 6.67 x10^-11 N m^2/kg^2.

Answer:

118.06 days

Explanation:

d = distance of the center of moon from surface of planet = 2.315 x 10⁵ km = 2.315 x 10⁸ m

R = radius of the planet = 4.15 x 10³ km = 4.15 x 10⁵ m

r = center to center distance between the planet and moon = R + d

M = mass of the planet = 7.15 x 10²² kg

T = Time period of revolution around the planet

Using Kepler's third law

$T^{2}=\frac{4\pi ^{2}r^{3}}{GM}$

$T^{2}=\frac{4\pi ^{2}(R + d)^{3}}{GM}$

$T^{2}=\frac{4(3.14)^{2}((4.15\times 10^{5}) + (2.315\times 10^{8}))^{3}}{(6.67\times 10^{-11})(7.15\times 10^{22})}$

T = 1.02 x 10⁷ sec

we know that , 1 day = 24 h = 24 x 3600 sec = 86400 sec

T = $(1.02 \times 10^{7} sec)\frac{1 day}{86400 sec}$

T = 118.06 days

In a rocket-propulsion problem the mass is variable. Another such problem is a raindrop falling through a cloud of small water d

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

a) a = g / 3

b) x (3.0) = 14.7 m

c) m (3.0) = 29.4 g

Explanation:

Given:-

- The following differential equation for (x) the distance a rain drop has fallen has the form:

$x*g = x * \frac{dv}{dt} + v^2$

- Where, v = Speed of the raindrop

- Proposed solution to given ODE:

v = a*t

Where, a = acceleration of raindrop

Find:-

(a) Using the proposed solution for v find the acceleration a.

(b) Find the distance the raindrop has fallen in t = 3.00 s.

(c) Given that k = 2.00 g/m, find the mass of the raindrop at t = 3.00 s.

Solution:-

- We know that acceleration (a) is the first derivative of velocity (v):

a = dv / dt ... Eq 1

- Similarly, we know that velocity (v) is the first derivative of displacement (x):

v = dx / dt , v = a*t ... proposed solution (Eq 2)

v .dt = dx = a*t . dt

- integrate both sides:

∫a*t . dt = ∫dt

x = 0.5*a*t^2 ... Eq 3

- Substitute Eq1 , 2 , 3 into the given ODE:

0.5*a*t^2*g = 0.5*a^2 t^2 + a^2 t^2

= 1.5 a^2 t^2

a = g / 3

- Using the acceleration of raindrop (a) and t = 3.00 second and plug into Eq 3:

x (t) = 0.5*a*t^2

x (t = 3.0) = 0.5*9.81*3^2 / 3

x (3.0) = 14.7 m

- Using the relation of mass given, and k = 2.00 g/m, determine the mass of raindrop at time t = 3.0 s:

m (t) = k*x (t)

m (3.0) = 2.00*x(3.0)

m (3.0) = 2.00*14.7

m (3.0) = 29.4 g

A free-falling golf ball strikes the ground and exerts a force on it. Which sentences are true about this situation? A golf ball

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

The ground exerts an equal force on the golf ball

Explanation:

Third's Newton Law states that:

"When an object A exerts a force on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force on object A".

In this problem, object A is the golf ball while object B is the ground, so we can say that:

- the golf ball exerts a force on the ground

- the ground exerts an equal and opposite force on the golf ball

Every winter I fly home to Chicago. It takes 3 hours. What is my average speed?

Tanya [424]

It depends on where you live when you're not visiting Chicago. We need to know the distance of the trip.

Your average speed on the trip is . . .

(total distance in miles) / (3 hours)

An object has a position given by r = [2.0 m + (2.00 m/s)t] i + [3.0 m − (1.00 m/s^2)t^2] j, where quantities are in SI units. W

lidiya [134]

Answer: 1 m/s

Explanation:

We have an object whose position $r$ is given by a vector, where the components X and Y are identified by the unit vectors $i$ and $j$ (where each unit vector is defined to have a magnitude of exactly one):

$r=[2 m + (2 m/s) t] i + [3 m - (1 m/s^{2})t^{2}] j$

On the other hand, velocity is defined as the variation of the position in time:

$V=\frac{dr}{dt}$

This means we have to derive $r$ :

$\frac{dr}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}[2 m + (2 m/s) t] i + \frac{d}{dt}[3 m - (1 m/s^{2})t^{2}] j$

$\frac{dr}{dt}=(2 m/s) i - (\frac{1}{2} m/s^{2} t) j$ This is the velocity vector

And when $t=2s$ the velocity vector is:

$\frac{dr}{dt}=(2 m/s) i - (\frac{1}{2} m/s^{2} (2 s)) j$

$\frac{dr}{dt}=2 m/s i - 1m/s j$ This is the velocity vector at 2 seconds

However, the solution is not complete yet, we have to find the module of this velocity vector, which is the speed $S$ :

$S=\sqrt {-1 m/s j + 2 m/s i}$

$S=\sqrt {1 m/s}$

Finally:

$S=1 m/s$ This is the speed of the object at 2 seconds

A disk of mass m and radius r is initially held at rest just above a larger disk of mass M and radius R that is rotating at angu

Leto [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Moment of inertia of larger disk I₁ = 1/2 MR²

Moment of inertia of smaller disk I₂ = 1/2 m r ²

Initial angular velocity

We shall apply law of conservation of angular momentum .

initial total momentum = final angular momentum

I₁ X ωi = ( I₁ + I₂ )ωf

1/2 MR² x ωi = 1/2 ( m r² + MR² ) ωf

ωf = ωi / ( 1 + m r²/MR² )
