9. Ripening is a _______________ and spoiling is a _____________

What is the length of a simple pendulum with a period of 11.5 s?

givi [52]

Using the equation for period length for a pendulum, you get 32.829 meters.

Use Kepler’s third law and the orbital motion of Earth to determine the mass of the Sun. The average distance between Earth and

dexar [7]

Kepler’s
third law formula: T^2=4pi^2*r^3/(GM)

We’re trying to find M, so:

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

M=4pi^2*(1.496
× 10^11 m)^3/((6.674× 10^-11N*m^2/kg^2)*(365.26days)^2)

M=1.48× 10^40(m^3)/((N*m^2/kg^2)*days^2))

Let’s work
with the units:

(m^3)/((N*m^2/kg^2)*days^2))=

=(m^3*kg^2)/(N*m^2*days^2)

=(m*kg^2)/(N*days^2)

=(m*kg^2)/((kg*m/s^2)*days^2)

=(kg)/(days^2/s^2)

=(kg*s^2)/(days^2)

So:

M=1.48× 10^40(kg*s^2)/(days^2)

Now we need to convert days to seconds in order to cancel
them:

1 day=24 hours=24*60minutes=24*60*60s=86400s

M=1.48× 10^40(kg*s^2)/((86400s)^2)

M=1.48× 10^40(kg*s^2)/(
86400^2*s^2)

M=1.48× 10^40kg/86400^2

M=1.98x10^30kg

The
closest answer is 1.99
× 10^30

(it may vary
a little with rounding – the difference is less than 1%)

A 81 kg person sits on a 3.8 kg chair. Each leg of the chair makes contact with the floor in a circle that is 1.2 cm in diameter

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

1.9 MPa

Explanation:

Mass of person = 81 kg

Mass of chair = 3.8 kg

Diameter of contact point = 1.2 cm = D

Radius of contact point = 1.2/2 = 0.6 cm

Total mass of chair and person = 81 + 3.8 = 84.8 kg = M

Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Force acting on the floor

F = Mg

⇒F = 84.8×9.81

⇒F = 831.888 N

Area of the contact point

A = πR²

⇒A = π0.006²

⇒A = π0.000036 m²

Area of the four points is

4A = 0.000144π m²

Pressure

$p=\frac{F}{A}\\\Rightarrow p=\frac{831.888}{0.000144\pi}\\\Rightarrow p=1838876.21\ Pa=1.83887621\times 10^6\ Pa=1.9 MPa$

Pressure exerted on the floor by each leg of the chair is 1.9 MPa

choose the correct anwer 9: the range of the gravitional force is given by A: 10_2m B:10_15m C: infinite D: 10_10m

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

The answer is C

Explanation:

The magnitude of the gravitational force depends inversely on the square of the radial distance between the centers of the two masses. Thus, essentially, the force can only fall to zero, when the denominator that is r becomes infinite.

(a) A load of coal is dropped (straight down) from a bunker into a railroad hopper car of inertia 3.0 × 104 kg coasting at 0.50

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

a) m=20000Kg

b) v=0.214m/s

Explanation:

We will separate the problem in 3 parts, part A when there were no coals on the car, part B when there is 1 coal on the car and part C when there are 2 coals on the car. Inertia is the mass in this case.

For each part, and since the coals are thrown vertically, the horizontal linear momentum p=mv must be conserved, that is, $p=m_Av_A=m_Bv_B=m_Cv_C$ , were each velocity refers to the one of the car (with the eventual coals on it) for each part, and each mass the mass of the car (with the eventual coals on it) also for each part. We will write the mass of the hopper car as $m_h$ , and the mass of the first and second coals as $m_1$ and $m_2$ respectively
