Deimos's Orbit. Deimos orbits Mars at a distance of 23,460 km from the center of the planet and has a period of 1.263 days. Assu

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

M = 5.882 10²³ kg

Explanation:

Let's use Newton's second law to analyze the satellite orbit around Mars.

F = m a

force is universal attraction and acceleration is centripetal

a = v²/ R

the modulus of velocity in a circular orbit is constant

v= d/T

the distance of the cicule is

d =2pi R

a = 2pi R/T

we substitute

- G m M / R² = m ( $- \frac{4\pi^2 R^2 }{T^2 R}$ )

G M = $\frac{ 4\pi ^2 R^3 }{T^2 }$

M = $\frac{4 \pi ^2 R^3 }{ G T^2 }$

the distance R is the distance from the center of the planet Mars to the center of the satellite Deimos

R = 23460 km = 2.3460 10⁷ m

the period of the orbit is

T = 1,263 days = 1,263 day (24 h / 1 day) (3600s / h)

T = 1.0912 10⁵ s

let's calculate

M = $\frac{4 \pi ^2 ( 2.3460 \ 10^7)^3 }{5.67 10^{-11} \ (1.0912 \ 10^5)^2 }$

M = 509.73418 10²¹ /8.66640 10⁻¹

M = 58.817 10²² kg

M = 5.882 10²³ kg

Two converging lenses are separated by 27.0 cm. The focal length of each lens is 8.90 cm. An object is placed 33.0 cm to the lef

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

1/i + 1/o = 1/f thin lens equation

i = 33 * 8.9 / (33 - 8.9) = 12.2 cm to right of first lens

27 - 12.2 = 14.8 cm to left of second lens

i = 14.8 * 8.9 / (14.8 - 8.9) = 22,3 cm to right of second lens

Using information about natural laws, explain why some car crashes produce minor injuries and others produce catastrophic injuri

kicyunya [14]

The forces in some car crashes are greater than others; therefore, the body can be more severely injured by greater and more powerful forces. I hope this helped! :^)
