Explanation:

We have,

Semimajor axis is $4\times 10^{12}\ m$

It is required to find the orbital period of a dwarf planet. Let T is time period. The relation between the time period and the semi major axis is given by Kepler's third law. Its mathematical form is given by :

$T^2=\dfrac{4\pi ^2}{GM}a^3$

G is universal gravitational constant

M is solar mass

Plugging all the values,

$T^2=\dfrac{4\pi ^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.98\times 10^{30}}\times (4\times 10^{12})^3\\\\T=\sqrt{\dfrac{4\pi^{2}}{6.67\times10^{-11}\times1.98\times10^{30}}\times(4\times10^{12})^{3}}\\\\T=4.37\times 10^9\ s$

Since,

$1\ s=3.17\times 10^{-8}\ \text{years}\\\\4.37\times 10^9\ s=4.37\cdot10^{9}\cdot3.17\cdot10^{-8}\\\\4.37\times 10^9\ s=138.52\ \text{years}$

So, the orbital period of a dwarf planet is 138.52 years.

If she only has 21 buttons and all 21 of them are large, then all of her buttons are large. so 100% of the buttons would be large.

Bus starts from rest if the acceleration of the bus is 0.5 MS squared what will be the velocity at the end of two minutes and wh

Nutka1998 [239]

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the bus, u = 0

Acceleration of the bus, a = 0.5 m/s²

Let v is the velocity at the end of 2 minutes. The change in velocity divided by time equals acceleration.

So,

$a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\v=u+at\\\\v=0+0.5\times 120\\\\v=60\ m/s$

Let d is the distance cover during that time. So,

$v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\d=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\\d=\dfrac{(60)^2}{2\times 0.5}\\\\d=3600\ m$

So, the final speed is 60 m/s and the distance covered during that time is 3600 m.

A fan at a rock concert is 50.0 m from the stage, and at this point the sound intensity level is 114 dB. Sound is detected when

Marianna [84]

Answer:

A) $P=13.92\ J.s^{-1}$

B) $v=3730.9912\ m.s^{-1}$

C) $v=74.44\ mm.s^{-1}$

D) mosquitoes speed in part B is very much larger than that of part C.

Explanation:

Given:

Distance form the sound source, $s=50\ m$

sound intensity level at the given location, $\beta=114\ dB$

diameter of the eardrum membrane in humans, $d=8.4 \times 10^{-3}\ m$

We have the minimum detectable intensity to the human ears, $I_0=10^{-12}\ W.m^{-2}$

(A)

Now the intensity of the sound at the given location is related mathematically as:

$\beta=10\ log(\frac{I}{I_0} )$ ..........................................(1)

$114=10\ log\ (\frac{I}{10^{-12}} )$

$11.4=log\ I+12\ log\ 10$

$I=0.2512\ W.m^{-2}$

As we know :

$I=\frac{P}{A}$

$0.2512=\frac{P}{\pi\times \frac{8.4^2}{4} }$

$P=13.92\ J.s^{-1}$ is the energy transferred to the eardrums per second.

(B)

mass of mosquito, $m=2\times 10^{-6}\ kg$

Now the velocity of mosquito for the same kinetic energy:

$KE=\frac{1}{2} m.v^2$

$13.92=\frac{1}{2}\times 2\times 10^{-6}\times v^2$

$v=3730.9912\ m.s^{-1}$

(C)

Given:

Sound intensity, $\beta = 20\ dB$

Using eq. (1)

$20=10\ log\ (\frac{I}{10^{-12}} )$

$2=log\ I+12\ log\ 10$

$I=10^{-10}\ W.m^{-2}$

Now, power:

$P=I.A$

$P=10^{-10}\times \pi\times \frac{8.4^2}{4}$

$P=5.54\times 10^{-9}\ J.s^{-1}$

Hence:

$KE=\frac{1}{2} m.v^2$

$5.54\times 10^{-9}=0.5\times 2\times 10^{-6}\times v^2$

$v=0.07444\ m.s^{-1}$

$v=74.44\ mm.s^{-1}$

(D)

mosquitoes speed in part B is very much larger than that of part C.
