Does the plane of the ecliptic coincide with the plane of the equator? explain.

<span>no it doesn't. one way to think of it is that the tropic of capricorn is the furthest south the sun's path goes, and the tropic of cancer is the northern most line that the sun traces out. since neither the tropic of capriforn nor the tropic of cancer are on the equator, the sun must be tracing out a different line and hence be on a different plane. also, if the sun was on the same plane as the equator, then we wouldn't have seasons.</span>

If two objects A and B have the same kinetic energy but A has three times the momentum of B, what is the ratio of their inertias

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

$\frac{inertia_B}{inertia_A}=9$

Explanation:

First of all, let's remind that:

- The kinetic energy of an object is given by $K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ , where m is the mass and v is the speed

- The momentum of an object is given by $p=mv$

- The inertia of an object is proportional to its mass, so we can write $I=km$ , where k just indicates a constant of proportionality

In this problem, we have:

- $K_A = K_B$ (the two objects have same kinetic energy)

- $p_A = 3 p_B$ (A has three times the momentum of B)

Re-writing both equation we have:

$\frac{1}{2}m_A v_A^2 = \frac{1}{2}m_B v_B^2\\m_A v_A = 3 m_B v_B$

If we divide first equation by second one we get

$v_A = 3 v_B$

And if we substitute it into the first equation we get

$m_A (3 v_B)^2 = m_B v_B^2\\9 m_A v_B^2 = m_B v_B^2\\m_B = 9 m_A$

So, B has 9 times more mass than A, and so B has 9 times more inertia than A, and their ratio is:

$\frac{I_B}{I_A}=\frac{km_B}{km_A}=\frac{9m_A}{m_A}=9$
