The mass of jupiter is 300 times the mass of the earth. Jupiter orbits the sun with Tjupiter = 11.9 yr in an orbit with Rjupiter

= 5.2 Rearth. Suppose the earth could be moved to the distance of Jupiter and placed in a circular orbit around the sun. Which of the following describes the earth's new period? EXPLAIN
a) 1 yr
b) between 1 yr and 11.9 yr
c) 11.9 yr
d) more than 11.9 yr
e) It would depend on the earth's speed.
f) It's impossible for a planet of earth's mass to orbit at the distance of Jupiter.

Answer:

c) 11.9 yr

Explanation:

The orbital period is proportional to r^(3/2) and does not depend on the satellite's mass. Any object at Jupiter position will have the same orbital period regardless of mass.

By keppler's law  we know that

T^2= r^3

T= orbital time period

r= mean distance of the planet from the Sun.

clearly, The orbital period does not depend on the satellite's mass

there, the correct answer will be c= 11.9 yr.

A coating is being applied to reduce the reflectivity of a pane of glass to light with a wavelength of 522 nm incident near the
fredd [130]

Answer:

  t = 94.91 nm

Explanation:

given,

wavelength of the light = 522 nm

refractive index of the material  = 1.375

we know the equation

       c = ν λ

where ν is the frequency of the wave

           c is the speed of light

   \nu= \dfrac{c}{\nu\lambda}

   \nu = \dfrac{3\times 10^8}{522 \times 10^{-9}}

       ν = 5.75 x 10¹⁴ Hz

the thickness of the coating will be calculated using

        t = \dfrac{\lambda}{4\mu_{material}}

        t = \dfrac{522 \times 10^{-9}}{4\times 1.375}

              t = 94.91 nm

the thickness of the coating will be equal to t = 94.91 nm

Marcia flew her ultralight plane to a nearby town against a head wind of 15 km/h in 2h 20 min. the return trip under the same wi
insens350 [35]

Let the distance between the towns be d and the speed of the air be s.

distance = speed * time

convert the minutes time into hours.

When flying into the wind, ground speed will be air speed MINUS wind speed, hence the against the wind trip is described by:

d

s−15

=

7

3

return trip is then :

d

s+15

=

7

5

Cross-multiplying both we get the two-variable system:

3d=7∗(s−15)5d=7∗(s+15)

3d=7s−1055d=7s+105

subtract first equation from second equation we get

2d=210d=105km

Substitute the value of d in the above equations for s.

5∗105=7s+1057s=420s=60km/hr

How much would it cost to cover the entire land area of the U.S. in dollar bills?
agasfer [191]

Answer:

  $900 trillion

Explanation:

If Alaska is 20% of the contiguous US, then the approximate area of interest is ...

  1200 miles × 3000 miles = 3.6×10^6 square miles.

The size of a dollar bill is about ...

  (6.5 cm)·(15.5 cm) = 100.75 cm^2

One mile is 160,934.4 cm, so 1 square mile is about ...

  1 mi^2 = (160,934.4 cm)^2 ≈ 2.59·10^10 cm^2

The number of dollars of interest is then ...

  (3.6 · 10^6 mi^2)(2.59 · 10^10 cm^2)/(100.75 cm^2) ≈ 9.3·10^14

  ≈ 930 × 10^12 . . . dollars

It would cost about 900 trillion dollars to cover the land area of the US in $1 bills.
