If planet A is four times as far from the sun as planet C, then the period of its orbit will be__ times as long

Burka [1]4 years ago

Within the system of the same star, the period of a planet's orbit is
proportional to the 3/2 power of its distance from the central body.
(Kepler's empirical third law of planetary motion, promoted to being
etched in stone by Newton's gravitation.)

(4) ^ 3/2 = <em>8 times</em> as long.

The 45-g arrow is launched so that it hits and embeds in a 1.40 kg block. The block hangs from strings. After the arrow joins th
worty [1.4K]

Question: How fast was the arrow moving before it joined the block?

Answer:

The arrow was moving at 15.9 m/s.

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy says that the kinetic energy of the arrow must be converted into the potential energy of the block and arrow after it they join:

\dfrac{1}{2}m_av^2 = (m_b+m_a)\Delta Hg

where m_a is the mass of the arrow, m_b is the mass of the block, \Delta H of the change in height of the block after the collision, and v is the velocity of the arrow before it hit the block.

Solving for the velocity v, we get:

$v = \sqrt{\frac{2(m_b+m_a)\Delta Hg}{m_a} } $

and we put in the numerical values

m_a = 0.045kg,

m_b = 1.40kg,

\Delta H = 0.4m,

g= 9.8m/s^2

and simplify to get:

\boxed{ v= 15.9m/s}

The arrow was moving at 15.9 m/s

So I'm struggling with rearranging kinematic formulas. Does anyone have any steps or something to help.
bekas [8.4K]

Rearranging formulas is all about simple algebra rules. Just like when solving for x in an equation, you're just isolating whichever variable you want. I'll work this one out for you and hopefully it'll help, but if you need more explanation, then feel free to comment!

D = ViT + 0.5at²   Subtract ViT from both sides

D - ViT = 0.5at²    Divide both sides by 0.5t²

\frac{D - ViT}{0.5t^{2} } = \frac{0.5at^{2} }{0.5t^{2} }    I wrote this step out a little more to show how your fraction will cancel

\frac{D - ViT}{0.5t^{2} }= a    I like to flip these around so the single variable is on the right

a = \frac{D - ViT}{0.5t^{2} }

An airplane flies 20km in a direction 60 degrees north of east, then 30 km straight east, then 10km straight north. How far and
Fed [463]

Answer:

48.4 km, 34.3° north of east

Explanation:

Let's say east is the +x direction and north is the +y direction.

Adding up the x components of the vectors:

x = 20 cos 60 + 30 + 0

x = 40 km

Adding up the y components of the vectors:

y = 20 sin 60 + 0 + 10

y = 27.3 km

The magnitude of the displacement is:

d = √(x² + y²)

d = 48.4 km

The direction is:

θ = atan(y/x)

θ = 34.3° north of east
