You are the pilot of a spaceship (9.1835 × 104 kg) and you enter into elliptical orbit around an uncharted planet, Rosseforp. At

periapsis (closest approach to the planet), your ship is 4.5 × 107 m above the surface of the planet; at apoapsis (most distant) it is 2.257×108 m above the surface. The mass of Rosseforp is found by your ship’s equipment to be 1.96×1025 kg, and the period of your ship’s orbit is 83.37 hours
Find the following:i. the semimajor axis of your ship’s orbit,ii. the radius of planet Rosseforp,iii. the eccentricity of your ship’s orbit,iv. the speed of your ship at perihelion and aphelion,

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

The orbital period of a satellite that is given as (T) and the mean distance from the central body (R) are connected by the following equation: representing T as the satellite period, R will be represented as the average radius of orbit for the satellite (which is the distance from center of central planet)

Kindly check the attached image below to see the step by step explanation to the above question.

Harry and ron set up this experiment with a glider, whose mass they have measured to be 565 g, and seven washers hanging from th
svetlana [45]
Let's call m=565~g=0.565~kg the mass of the glider and m_w=7\cdot12~g =84~g=0.084~kg the total mass of the seven washers hanging from the string. 
The net force on the system is given by the weight of the hanging washers:
F_{net} = m_w g
For Newton's second law, this net force is equal to the product between the total mass of the system (which is m+m_w) and the acceleration a:
F_{net}=(m+m_w)a
So, if we equalize the two equations, we get
m_w g = (m+m_w)a
and from this we can find the acceleration:
a= \frac{m_w g}{(m+m_w)} = \frac{0.084~kg \cdot 9.81~m/s^2}{(0.565~kg+0.084~kg)}=1.27~m/s^2

A parked car's horn (belonging to a musician) emits a concert A of frequency 440 on a day when the speed of sound is 342 m/s. Yo
julsineya [31]

Answer:

19.08 m/s

Explanation:

f = actual frequency emitted by the parked car's horn = 440 Hz

V = speed of sound = 342 m/s

f' = frequency of the horn observed by you = 466 Hz

v = speed of your car moving towards the parked car = ?

frequency of the horn observed by you is given as

f' = \frac{Vf}{V - v}

466 = \frac{(342)(440)}{342 - v}

v = 19.08 m/s

Can you find the magnetic field based on force? a straight segment of wire 35.0 cm long carrying a current of 1.40 a is in a uni
Lostsunrise [7]
The force exerted by a magnetic field on a wire carrying current is:
F=ILB \sin \theta
where I is the current, L the length of the wire, B the magnetic field intensity, and \theta the angle between the wire and the direction of B.

In our problem, the force is F=0.20 N. The current is I=1.40 A, while the length of the wire is L=35.0 cm=0.35 m. The angle between the wire and the magnetic field is 53 ^{\circ}, so we can re-arrange the formula and substitute the numbers to find B:
B= \frac{F}{IL \sin \theta}= \frac{0.20 N}{(1.40 A)(0.35 m)(\sin 53^{\circ})}=0.51 T

allsm [11]

Answer:

Young modulus  = 9.8 × 10⁹ N/m²

Explanation:

From the information given:

Stress = F/A

Stress = (10 × 9.8) / 0.001²

Stress = 9.8× 10⁷ N/m²

Strain = increase in length / initial length of wire

Strain = 0.02/ 2

Strain = 0.01

Now;

The Young modulus (Y)= stress/strain

Young modulus  = (9.8 × 10⁷ N/m²) /  0.01

Young modulus  = 9.8 × 10⁹ N/m²
