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.

Three identical charges q form an equilateral triangle of side a with two charges on the x-axis and one on the positive y-axis.
shusha [124]

Answer:

F_n = k*q*(\frac{2*(y + \frac{\sqrt{3}*a }{2}) }{((y+ \frac{\sqrt{3}*a }{2})^2 + (a/2)^2)^1.5 } +\frac{1}{y^2}  )

Explanation:

Given:

- Three identical charges q.

- Two charges on x - axis separated by distance a about origin

- One on y-axis

- All three charges are vertices

Find:

- Find an expression for the electric field at points on the y-axis above the uppermost charge.

- Show that the working reduces to point charge when y >> a.

Solution

- Take a variable distance y above the top most charge.

- Then compute the distance from charges on the axis to the variable distance y:

                                  r = \sqrt{(\frac{\sqrt{3}*a }{2} + y)^2 + (a/2)^2  }

- Then compute the angle that Force makes with the y axis:

                                 cos(Q) = sqrt(3)*a / 2*r

- The net force due to two charges on x-axis, the vertical components from these two charges are same and directed above:

                                 F_1,2 = 2*F_x*cos(Q)

- The total net force would be:

                                F_net = F_1,2 + kq / y^2

- Hence,

                                F_n = k*q*(\frac{2*(y + \frac{\sqrt{3}*a }{2}) }{((y+ \frac{\sqrt{3}*a }{2})^2 + (a/2)^2)^1.5 } +\frac{1}{y^2}  )

- Now for the limit y >>a:

                              F_n = k*q*(\frac{2*y(1 + \frac{\sqrt{3}*a }{2*y}) }{y^3((1+ \frac{\sqrt{3}*a }{2*y})^2 + (a/y*2)^2)^1.5 }) +\frac{1}{y^2}  )

- Insert limit i.e a/y = 0

                              F_n = k*q*(\frac{2}{y^2} +\frac{1}{y^2})  \\\\F_n = 3*k*q/y^2

Hence the Electric Field is off a point charge of magnitude 3q.

When would a scientist accept the alternative
vredina [299]

Answer:

B.) if statistical results are significant

Explanation:

If a scientist accepts the null hypothesis, then there is enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

This means that the p-value is less than the significance level.

When the scientist accepts the alternative hypothesis, it means the statistical results are significant.

The correct answer is B.

Region that contains the majority of molecules in the atmosphere
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

Trophosphere

Explanation:

The troposphere is the atmospheric layer closest to the planet and is characterized because contains the largest percentage of the mass of the total atmosphere.

On special characteristic is that in this layer the temperature and water vapor content decrease a lot respect to the altitude. Also on this layer the Water vapor is important in order to regulate the air temperature since on this zone we have absorption of the solar energy.

The troposphere contains almost all the water vapor in the atmosphere. And specially on the tropics we have an accumulation of the water vapour.

All weather phenomena occur within the troposphere. Tropos means "change" and Troposphere means "region of mixing".

Above this layer, we have the tropopause, ranges in height from 5 miles near the poles up to 11 miles above the equator. And the height depends of the seasons, with an special characteristic: the is highest height occurs in the summer and lowest height occurs in the winter.

The troposphere contains almost 75% of the mass of the entire atmosphere. The air on this layer is composed by 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and 1% is made of argon, water vapor, and carbon dioxide.

So for this reason this is the Region that contains the majority of molecules in the atmosphere.

How many newtons of force are represented by the following amount: 3 kg·m/sec^2?
HACTEHA [7]

1 newton is the force that accelerates
1 kilogram of mass at the rate of 1 m/s² .

So in SI base units,  1 newton  =  1 kg-m/s² .

                       and    3 kg-m/s²  =  3 newtons .
