Answer:

An asteroid that has an orbital period of 3 years will have an orbital with a semi-major axis of about 2 years.

Explanation:

Given;

orbital period of 3 years, P = 3 years

To calculate the years of an orbital with a semi-major axis, we apply Kepler's third law.

Kepler's third law;

P² = a³

where;

P is the orbital period

a is the orbital semi-major axis

(3)² = a³

9 = a³

a = $a = \sqrt[3]{9} \\\\a = 2.08 \ years$

Therefore, An asteroid that has an orbital period of 3 years will have an orbital with a semi-major axis of about 2 years.

If the escalator pulls you up a slope of 30.0o and moves with a velocity of 3.10m/s. What is the vertical component of your v

ioda

Answer:

$1.55\ \text{m/s}$

$2.68\ \text{m/s}$

Explanation:

v = Velocity of the elevator = 3.1 m/s

$\theta$ = Angle of the slope = $30^{\circ}$

Vertical component is given by

$v_y=v\sin\theta\\\Rightarrow v_y=3.1\sin30^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow v_y=1.55\ \text{m/s}$

The vertical component of the velocity is $1.55\ \text{m/s}$ .

Horizontal component is given by

$v_x=v\cos\theta\\\Rightarrow v_x=3.1\times \cos30^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow v_x=2.68\ \text{m/s}$

The horizontal component of the velocity is $2.68\ \text{m/s}$ .

Answer:

Explanation:

We are given that

$F_x=cx-3x^2$

K.E at x=0 m=20 J

K.E at x=3 m=11 J

We have to find the value of c.

By work energy theorem

Work done=Change in kinetic energy

W= $\int_{0}^{3} Fdx=\int_{0}^{3}(cx-3x^2)dx$

$W=[\frac{cx^2}{2}-x^3]^{3}_{0}$

$W=\frac{9c}{2}-27$

$\Delta K=11-20=-9 J$

$-9=\frac{9c}{2}-27$

$-9+27=\frac{9c}{2}$

$18=\frac{9c}{2}$

$c=\frac{2}{9}\times 18=4$
