Explain the difference between the synodic period of a planet and the sidereal period. why is the synodic period often much less

than the sidereal period for the superior planets?

-Synodic period is the period of celestial bodies observed on the moving planet(mostly earth)
Sideral period is the period comparing to the fixed stars without motion of the earth involved.

(I will explain the second question with an example, so it's easier to understand)
-For Sideral month for example of the moon it cactually complete one revolution in around 27.3 days.
However, since the earth moves, for us it took some more time to see the moon the same as before (fullmoon to fullmoon) again. That make synodic month of the moon to be around 29.5 days.

The position-time graph for a bug crawling along a line is shown in item 4 below. Determine whether the velocity is positive, ne
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer: The velocity at different marked time points are given as

t1 = -

t2 = +

t3 = +

t4 = -

t5 = 0

Explanation:

The slope of the tangent of the curve indicates the instantaneous velocity. So if the slope of the tangent is positive, that Is, the tangent makes a positive angle (above the horizontal axis) with the horizontal

axis, then the velocity at this point is positive, and if the slope of the tangent is negative, that is the tangent makes a negative angle with the horizontal axis (below the horizontal axis), then the velocity at this point is negative.

When the tangent of the line is parallel to the horizontal axis, the velocity is 0.

From the position-time graph attached, the sign on the instantaneous velocity for each time marked on the graph is given below

t1 = -

t2 = +

t3 = +

t4 = -

t5 = 0

A proton moving at 3.0 × 10^4 m/s is projected at an angle of 30° above a horizontal plane. If an electric field of 400 N/C is a
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

The time it takes the proton to return to the horizontal plane is 7.83 X10⁻⁷ s

Explanation:

From Newton's second law, F = mg and also from coulomb's law F= Eq

Dividing both equations by mass;

F/m = Eq/m = mg/m, then

g = Eq/m --------equation 1

Again, in a projectile motion, the time of flight (T) is given as

T = (2usinθ/g) ---------equation 2

Substitute in the value of g into equation 2

T = \frac{2usin \theta}{\frac{Eq}{m}} =\frac{m* 2usin \theta}{Eq}

Charge of proton = 1.6 X 10⁻¹⁹ C

Mass of proton = 1.67 X 10⁻²⁷ kg

E is given as 400 N/C, u = 3.0 × 10⁴ m/s and θ = 30°

Solving for T;

T = \frac{(1.67X10^{-27}* 2*3X10^4sin 30}{400*1.6X10^{-19}}

T = 7.83 X10⁻⁷ s
