The period of the earth around the sun is 1 year and its distance is 150 million km from the sun. An asteroid in a circular orbi

t around the sun is at a distance 440 million km from the sun. What is the period of the asteroid’s orbit? Answer in units of year.

Answer:

5.024 years

Explanation:

T1 = 1 year

r1 = 150 million km

r2 = 440 million km

let the period of asteroid orbit is T2.

Use Kepler's third law

T² ∝ r³

So,

$\left ( \frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} \right )^2=\left ( \frac{r_{2}}{r_{1}} \right )^3$

$\left ( \frac{T_{2}}{1} \right )^2=\left ( \frac{440}{150} \right )^3$

T2 = 5.024 years

Thus, the period of the asteroid's orbit is 5.024 years.

A water wave has a frequency of 2 Hertz and a wavelength of 5 cm. Calculate it speed

Llana [10]

Answer: 0.1 m/s

Explanation:

Use formula,

v = f * w where, v is speed, f is frequency and w is wavelength.

Now,

v = 2 * 5 * 10 ^ -2 ( Remember to convert all the units to SI units. Here 5 cm becomes 5 * 10 ^ -2 m. )

v = 0.1 m/s.

Interactive Solution 11.13 presents a model for solving this problem. A solid concrete block weighs 100 N and is resting on the

mash [69]

Answer:

The value is $} N = 66 \ blocks$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The weight of the block is $W_b = 100 \ N$

The dimension of the block is $d = 0.400 m \ X \ 0.250 \ m \ X \ 0.130 \ m$

Generally two atmosphere is equivalent to

$P_{2atm} = 2 * 1.013 *10^{5} = 202600 \ N/m^2$

Generally 1 atm = $1.013 *10^{5} N/m^2$

The area of the block would be evaluated using width and height because we need for the smaller surface to be in contact with the ground in order to maximize the pressure and minimize number of blocks

So

$A = 0.250 * 0.130$

=> $A = 0.0325 \ m^2$

Generally the force due to this blocks is mathematically represented as

$F = N * W_b$

Here N is the number of blocks

So

$} 202600 = \frac{N * 100 }{ 0.0325}$

=> $} N = 66 \ blocks$

Please help me with this physics prooblem

zaharov [31]

Take the missile's starting position to be the origin. Assuming the angles given are taken to be counterclockwise from the positive horizontal axis, the missile has position vector with components

$x=v_0\cos20.0^\circ t+\dfrac12a_xt^2$

$y=v_0\sin20.0^\circ t+\dfrac12a_yt^2$

The missile's final position after 9.20 s has to be a vector whose distance from the origin is 19,500 m and situated 32.0 deg relative the positive horizontal axis. This means the final position should have components

$x_{9.20\,\mathrm s}=(19,500\,\mathrm m)\cos32.0^\circ$

$y_{9.20\,\mathrm s}=(19,500\,\mathrm m)\sin32.0^\circ$

So we have enough information to solve for the components of the acceleration vector, $a_x$ and $a_y$ :

$x_{9.20\,\mathrm s}=\left(1810\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)\cos20.0^\circ(9.20\,\mathrm s)+\dfrac12a_x(9.20\,\mathrm s)^2\implies a_x=21.0\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}$

$y_{9.20\,\mathrm s}=\left(1810\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)\sin20.0^\circ(9.20\,\mathrm s)+\dfrac12a_y(9.20\,\mathrm s)^2\implies a_y=110\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}$

The acceleration vector then has direction $\theta$ where

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{a_y}{a_x}\implies\theta=79.2^\circ$

Does the same battery always deliver the same amount of flow to any circuit? Mention two observations of any circuits in this la

V125BC [204]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Given that the battery is the same the PD ( potential difference ) in the circuit will also be the same likewise the flow of charge in the circuit,

Hence the same amount of charge flow is delivered to any circuit.
