Newton states: F=G*M*m/ r^2, where M= ρ* (4/3)*pi*r^3 is mass of iron planet, r is radius of the planet; 
<span> the same gravity force F=m*w^2*r is the centripetal force for the orbiting satellite, where angular speed w=2pi/T, T is period; </span>
<span> thus F=F; G*M*m/ r^2 = m*w^2*r; or; </span>
<span>G*(ρ* (4/3)*pi*r^3)/ r^2 = (2pi/T)^2*r; or; </span>
<span>G*ρ/3 = pi/T^2, hence T= √(3pi/(G*ρ)) = </span>
<span>= √(3pi/(6.6742E-11 *7860)) =4238.62s = 70h 38’;</span>

A bike rider was moving to the right at a constant speed. Suddenly the wind then starts blowing against her with 3 N of force to
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

The correct option is D

Explanation:

This question can be better understood when discussed using the Newton's first law of motion which states that an object would continue to move with a uniform speed (in a straight line) unless acted upon by an external force. What happens here (in the question) is that the bike rider would have continued moving at a constant speed (to the right) if not for the opposing force of the wind that acted against her (to the left). <u>This wind/force would cause her speed to reduce or slow down (as posited by the law)</u>.

The ice skaters partner liftes her up a distance of 1 m work done or not work done
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Work done.

Explanation:

The skater who lifts has to overcome the partner's weight. When lifted up by 1 meter, her potential energy increases by (mass)x(gravitational acceleration)x(1meter), which is the amount of work done.

(This all assumes lifting vertically and no other forces being part of the picture)

The maximum wavelength For photoelectric emissions in tungsten is 230 nm. What wavelength of light must be use in order for elec
notka56 [123]

Answer:

λ = 1.8 x 10⁻⁷ m = 180 nm

Explanation:

First we find the work function of tungsten by using the following formula:

∅ = hc/λmax

where,

∅ = work function = ?

h = Plank's Constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

λmax = maximum wavelength for photoelectric emission = 230 nm

λmax = 2.3 x 10⁻⁷ m

Therefore,

∅ = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(2.3 x 10⁻⁷ m)

∅ = 8.64 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Now we convert Kinetic Energy of electron into Joules:

K.E = (1.5 eV)(1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J/1 eV)

K.E = 2.4 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Now, we use Einstein's Photoelectric Equation:

Energy of Photon = ∅ + K.E

Therefore,

Energy of Photon = 8.64 x 10⁻¹⁹ J + 2.4 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Energy of Photon = 11.04 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

but,

Energy of Photon = hc/λ

where,

λ = wavelength of light = ?

Therefore,

11.04 x 10⁻¹⁹ J = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/λ

λ = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(11.04 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)

<u>λ = 1.8 x 10⁻⁷ m = 180 nm</u>

Two power lines run parallel for a distance of 222 m and are separated by a distance of 40.0 cm. if the current in each of the t
earnstyle [38]
1) Magnitude of the force:

The magnetic field generated by a current-carrying wire is
B= \frac{\mu_0I}{2 \pi r}
where
\mu_0 is the vacuum permeability
I is the current in the wire
r is the distance at which the field is calculated

Using I=135 A, the current flowing in each wire, we can calculate the magnetic field generated by each wire at distance 
r=40.0 cm=0.40 m, 
which is the distance at which the other wire is located:
B= \frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi r}= \frac{(4 \pi \cdot 10^{-7} N/A^2)(135 A) }{2 \pi (0.40 m)}=6.75 \cdot 10^{-5} T

Then we can calculate the magnitude of the force exerted on each wire by this magnetic field, which is given by:
F=ILB=(135 A)(222 m)(6.75 \cdot 10^{-5}T)=2.03 N

2) direction of the force: 
The two currents run in opposite direction: this means that the force between them is repulsive. This can be determined by using the right hand rule. Let's apply it to one of the two wires, assuming they are in the horizontal plane, and assuming that the current in the wire on the right is directed northwards:
- the magnetic field produced by the wire on the left at the location of the wire on the right is directed upward (the thumb of the right hand is directed as the current, due south, and the other fingers give the direction of the magnetic field, upward)

Now let's apply the right-hand rule to the wire on the right:
- index finger: current --> northward
- middle finger: magnetic field --> upward
- thumb: force --> due east --> so the force is repulsive

A similar procedure can be used on the wire on the left, finding that the force exerted on it is directed westwards, so the force between the two wires is repulsive.
