Answer:

Frequency is the reciprocal of the period. The period is 5 seconds, so the frequency is 1/(5 s) = 0.20 Hz.

Explanation: yes

A supersonic jet, with a mass of 21,000 kg, departs from its home airbase with a velocity of 400 m/s due east. What is the jet’s

disa [49]

Answer:

Momentum P is 840000kgm/s or 8.4 × 10^6

Explanation:

Data :

Mass = 21000 kg

Velocity = 400 m/s

So momentum is given as

P = mv

P = 21000×400

P = 8400000 kgm/s

P = 8.4 × 10^6

If you stood on a planet with four times the mass of Earth, and twice Earth's radius, how much would you weigh?

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

1/4 times your earth's weight

Explanation:

assuming the Mass of earth = M

Radius of earth = R

∴ the mass of the planet= 4M

the radius of the planet = 4R

gravitational force of earth is given as = $\frac{GM}{R^{2} }$

where G is the gravitational constant

Gravitational force of the planet = $\frac{G4M}{(4R)^{2} }$

= $\frac{G4M}{16R^{2} }$

= $\frac{GM}{4R^{2} }$

recall, gravitational force of earth is given as = $\frac{GM}{R^{2} }$

∴Gravitational force of planet = 1/4 times the gravitational force of the earth

you would weigh 1/4 times your earth's weight

Complete Question

Due to blurring caused by atmospheric distortion, the best resolution that can be obtained by a normal, earth-based, visible-light telescope is about 0.3 arcsecond (there are 60 arcminutes in a degree and 60 arcseconds in an arcminute).Using Rayleigh's criterion, calculate the diameter of an earth-based telescope that gives this resolution with 700 nm light

Answer:

The diameter is $D = 0.59 \ m$
