Answer:

m v^2 / R = G M m / R^2 gravitational attraction = centripetal force

M = v^2 R / G solving for M

period = 6 h 25 min = (6 * 3600 + 25 * 60) sec = 23,100 sec = T

v = 2 pi R / T

M = 4 pi^2 R^3 / (G T^2)

M = 39.5 * (8.6E7)^3 / (6.67E-11 * 2.31E4^2)

M = 39.5 * 636 / (6.67 * 5.34) * 10^24

M = 7.05 * 10^26 kg

Decreases, stays the same, increases. The volume decreases because as air is cooled, the individual molecules collectively possess less kinetic energy and the distances between them decrease, thus leading to a decrease in the volume they occupy at a certain pressure (please note that my answer only holds under constant pressure; air, as a gas, doesn't actually have a definite volume). The mass stays the same because physical processes do not create or destroy matter. The law of conservation of mass is obeyed. You're only cooling the air, not adding more air molecules. The density decreases because as the volume decreases and mass stays the same, you have the same mass occupying a smaller volume. Density is mass divided by volume, so as mass is held constant and volume decreases, density increases.

I need 1, 2 and 3 <br><br> Please help!

svetoff [14.1K]

1)Kenetic Energy is defined as energy which a body possesses by virtue of being in motion. 2)KE) is KE = 0.5 x mv2. Here m stands for mass, the measure of how much matter is in an object, and v stands for the velocity of the object, or the rate at which the object changes its position..

And I hope this helped :)

How can i tell the difference between a one element and another?

dybincka [34]

Normally, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons, which makes atoms electrically neutral. The number of protons in an atom is the defining feature of an atom. It's what makes one element different from another

A 10 g particle undergoes SHM with an amplitude of 2.0 mm and a maximum acceleration of magnitude 8.0 multiplied by 103 m/s2, an

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

a) $T=0.0031416s$

b) $v_{max}=6.283\frac{m}{s}$

c) $E=0.1974J$

d) $F=80N$

e) $F=40N$

Explanation:

1) Important concepts

Simple harmonic motion is defined as "the motion of a mass on a spring when it is subject to the linear elastic restoring force given by Hooke's Law (F=-Kx). The motion experimented by the particle is sinusoidal in time and demonstrates a single resonant frequency".

2) Part a

The equation that describes the simple armonic motion is given by $X=Acos(\omega t +\phi)$ (1)

And taking the first and second derivate of the equation (1) we obtain the velocity and acceleration function respectively.

For the velocity:

$\frac{dX}{dt}=v(t)=-A\omega sin(\omega t +\phi)$ (2)

For the acceleration

$\frac{d^2 X}{dt}=a(t)=-A\omega^2 cos(\omega t+\phi)$ (3)

As we can see in equation (3) the acceleration would be maximum when the cosine term would be -1 and on this case:

$A\omega^2=8x10^{3}\frac{m}{s^2}$

Since we know the amplitude A=0.002m we can solve for $\omega$ like this:

$\omega =\sqrt{\frac{8000\frac{m}{s^2}}{0.002m}}=2000\frac{rad}{s}$

And we with this value we can find the period with the following formula

$T=\frac{2\pi}{\omega}=\frac{2 \pi}{2000\frac{rad}{s}}=0.0031416s$

3) Part b

From equation (2) we see that the maximum velocity occurs when the sine function is euqal to -1 and on this case we have that:

$v_{max}=A\omega =0.002mx2000\frac{rad}{s}=4\frac{m rad}{s}=4\frac{m}{s}$

4) Part c

In order to find the total mechanical energy of the oscillator we can use this formula:

$E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2_{max}=\frac{1}{2}(0.01kg)(6.283\frac{m}{s})^2=0.1974J$

5) Part d

When we want to find the force from the 2nd Law of Newton we know that F=ma.

At the maximum displacement we know that X=A, and in order to that happens $cos(\omega t +\phi)=1$ , and we also know that the maximum acceleration is given by::

$|\frac{d^2X}{dt^2}|=A\omega^2$

So then we have that:

$F=ma=mA\omega^2$

And since we have everything we can find the force

$F=ma=0.01Kg(0.002m)(2000\frac{rad}{s})^2 =80N$

6) Part e

When the mass it's at the half of it's maximum displacement the term $cos(\omega t +\phi)=1/2$ and on this case the acceleration would be given by;

$|\frac{d^2X}{dt^2}|=A\omega^2 cos(\omega t +\phi)=A\omega^2 \frac{1}{2}$

And the force would be given by:

$F=ma=\frac{1}{2}mA\omega^2$

And replacing we have:

$F=\frac{1}{2}(0.01Kg)(0.002m)(2000\frac{rad}{s})^2 =40N$

Which type of electromagnetic radiation has the highest frequency?

Likurg_2 [28]

Explanation:

As we know that relation between energy and wavelength is as follows.

E = $\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

This means that energy is inversely proportional to wavelength. So, more is the energy of an electromagnetic radiation less will be its wavelength.

Also, f = $\frac{c}{\lambda}$

Hence, less will be the wavelength more will frequency of a radiation.

Gamma rays are the rays that have highest energy, small wavelength and highest frequency.

Thus, we can conclude that gamma rays are the electromagnetic radiation which has the highest frequency.
