The six statements below represent Newton's three laws of motion and Kepler's three laws of planetary motion. Match each stateme
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

1. Force = mass x acceleration - Newton

2. A planet moves faster in the part of its orbit nearer the Sun and slower when farther from the Sun, sweeping out  equal areas in equal times - Kepler

3. For any force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force - Newton .

4. An object moves at constant velocity if there is no net force acting upon it - Newton

5. The orbit of each planet about the Sun is an ellipse with the Sun at one focus  - Kepler.

6. More distant planets orbit the Sun at slower average speeds, obeying the precise mathematical relationship p2-a3 - Kepler.

Explanation:

The three laws of planetary motion formulated by Johannes Kepler or Kepler's laws of planetary motion:

  1. The first law states that the planets move around the Sun in an elliptical orbit with the Sun at one of the foci.
  2. The second law states that the line segment joining a planet to the Sun sweeps out equal areas in equal time.
  3. The third law states that the square of the orbital period (p) of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the mean distance (a) from the Sun (or semi-major axis of its orbit) i.e., p² is proportional to a³.

The three laws of motion formulated by Sir Isaac Newton or Newton's laws of motion:

  1. The first law, also known as the law of inertia states that an object at rest or moves at a constant velocity will remain at rest or keep moving at a constant velocity unless it is acted upon by a force.
  2. The second law states that the total force (F) applied on an object is directly related to the acceleration (a) of that object produced by the applied force and the mass (m) of the object, i.e., F = ma (assuming the mass m is constant).
  3. The third law, also known as the law of action and reaction states that when an object exerts a force on another object, then the latter exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the former object i.e., for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The example includes the recoiling of a gun when it fires a bullet forward.

8. A car starts from rest and accelerates at 5.5ms in an easterly direction.

  • Initial velocity=0m/s=u
  • Acceleration=a=5.5m/s^2

#8.1

  • t=12s

\\ \sf\longmapsto v=u+at

\\ \sf\longmapsto v=0+5.5(12)

\\ \sf\longmapsto v=66m/s

#8.2

  • u=0m/s
  • v=18m/s
  • a=5.5m/s^2

Use third equation of kinematics

\\ \sf\longmapsto v^2-u^2=2as

\\ \sf\longmapsto s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}

\\ \sf\longmapsto s=\dfrac{18^2-0^2}{2(5.5)}

\\ \sf\longmapsto s=\dfrac{324}{11}

\\ \sf\longmapsto s=29.4m

Find the weight of an astronaut whose mass is 75 kg on the moon
gladu [14]
The formula for weight is always weight=mass X gravitational field strength.
We already know the mass is 75kg.
The gravitational field strength on the moon is 1.6N. To find out the weight, we can substitute these values in to the formula.
Weight=75 X 1.6
Weight= 120N
Weight is measured on Neutons as it is a force.

Imagine you are in an open field where two loudspeakers are set up and connected to the same amplifier so that they emit sound w
mario62 [17]

Answer:

The distance we need to walk in other not to hear the speakers for a speaker separation distance of 1 m, while walking in front of one of the speaker is 1.875 meters

Explanation:

The wavelength of the wave is obtained from the formula, v = f × λ

Where;

v = The velocity of the wave = 344 m/s

f = The frequency of the wave = 688 Hz

λ = The wavelength of the wave

λ = v/f = (344 m/s)/(688 Hz) = 1/2 meters

Therefore, for one not to be able to here the speakers, there must be destructive interference and R₁ - R₂ = λ/2 = (1/2)/2 = 1/4 m

Where R₁ and R₂ are the distances from the person to the two speakers respectively

When the distance between the two speakers = 1 meter, we have

R₁ = √(x² + d²), R₂ = √((1 - x)² + d²)

R₁ - R₂ = √(x² + d²) - √((1 - x)² + d²) = 1/4

When we walk from directly in front of one of the speakers, we get;

R₁ - R₂ = √(1 + d²) - √((1 - 1)² + d²) = 1/4

√(1² + d²) - d = 1/4

√(1² + d²)  = 1/4 + d

Square both sides gives

1² + d² = 1/16 + d/2 + d²

1²  = 1/16 + d/2

d/2 = 1 - 1/16 = 15/16

d = 2 × 15/16 = 15/8

d = 15/8 = 1.875 meters.
