Kepler's third law hypothesizes that for all the small bodies in orbit around the same central body, the ratio of (orbital period squared) / (orbital radius cubed) is the same number. 

Moon #1:  (1.262 days)² / (2.346 x 10^4 km)³

Moon #2:  (orbital period)² / (9.378 x 10^3 km)³

Equating the ratio:
(1.262 days)² / (2.346 x 10^4 km)³  = (orbital period)² / (9.378 x 10^3 km)³

Cross-multiply:
(orbital period)² x (2.346 x 10^4)³ = (1.262 days)² x (9.378 x 10^3)³

Divide each side by (2.346 x 10^4)³:

(Orbital period)² = [ (1.262 days)² x (9.378 x 10^3)³ ] / (2.346 x 10^4)³

               =  0.1017 day²

Orbital period = 0.319 Earth day = about 7.6 hours.

The area of the piston to the master cylinder in a hydraulic braking system of a car is 0.6 square inches. If a force of 5.6 lb
balu736 [363]

Answer:

16.8 lb is the force on the brake pad of one wheel.

Explanation:

Force applied on the piston = F_1=5.6 lb

Area of the piston = A_1=0.6 inches^2

Force applied on the brakes = F_2

Area of the brakes = A_2=1.8 inches^2

Applying Pascal's law: 'For an incompressible fluid pressure at one surface is equal to the pressure at other surface'.

\frac{F_1}{A_2}=\frac{F_2}{A_2}

F_2=\frac{5.6 lb\times 1.8 inhes^2}{0.6 inches^2}=16.8 lb

16.8 lb is the force on the brake pad of one wheel.

What is the potential energy of a 3kg ball that is on the ground?
ELEN [110]

This is where we have to admit that gravitational potential energy is
one of those things that depends on the "frame of reference", or
'relative to what?'.

         Potential energy = (mass) x (gravity) x (<em>height</em>).

So you have to specify <em><u>height above what</u></em> .

-- With respect to the ground, the ball has zero potential energy.
(If you let go of it, it will gain zero kinetic energy as it falls to
the ground.)

-- With respect to the floor in your basement, the potential energy is

                 (3) x (9.8) x (3 meters) = 88.2 joules.

(If you let go of it, it will gain 88.2 joules of kinetic energy as it falls
to the floor of your basement.)

-- With respect to the top of that 10-meter hill over there, the potential
energy is
                    (3) x (9.8) x (-10) = -294 joules

(Its potential energy is negative. After you let go of it, you have to give it
294 joules of energy that it doesn't have now, in order to lift it to the top of
the hill <em>where it will have zero</em> potential energy.)
