Two planets A and B, where B has twice the mass of A, orbit the Sun in elliptical orbits. The semi-major axis of the elliptical
lozanna [386]

Answer:

2.83

Explanation:

Kepler's discovered that the square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit, that is called Kepler's third law of planet motion and can be expressed as:

T=\frac{2\pi a^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\sqrt{GM}} (1)

with T the orbital period, M the mass of the sun, G the Cavendish constant and a the semi major axis of the elliptical orbit of the planet. By (1) we can see that orbital period is independent of the mass of the planet and depends of the semi major axis, rearranging (1):

\frac{T}{a^{\frac{3}{2}}}=\frac{2\pi}{\sqrt{GM}}

\frac{T^{2}}{a^{3}}=(\frac{2\pi }{\sqrt{GM}})^2 (2)

Because in the right side of the equation (2) we have only constant quantities, that implies the ratio \frac{T^{2}}{a^{3}} is constant for all the planets orbiting the same sun, so we can said that:

\frac{T_{A}^{2}}{a_{A}^{3}}=\frac{T_{B}^{2}}{a_{B}^{3}}

\frac{T_{B}^{2}}{T_{A}^{2}}=\frac{a_{B}^{3}}{a_{A}^{3}}

\frac{T_{B}}{T_{A}}=\sqrt{\frac{a_{B}^{3}}{a_{A}^{3}}}=\sqrt{\frac{(2a_{A})^{3}}{a_{A}^{3}}}

\frac{T_{B}}{T_{A}}=\sqrt{\frac{2^3}{1}}=2.83

What is the distance that a car travels if it was brought to stop in 5 seconds and if it was traveling at 110 Km/h
Triss [41]

Answer:

Suppose that the acceleration is a constant, a.

a(t) = a.

To write the velocity equation, we must integrate over time, and the constant of integration will be equal to the initial velocity, in this case is 110km/h.

v(t) = a*t + 110km/h

And we know that at t = 5s, the car was brought to stop, so the velocity must be zero.

v(5s) = 0 = a*5s + 110km/h.

a = (110km/h)*(1/5s)

now we have that:

1 hour = 3600 seconds.

1km = 1000m

then:

110km/h = (110*1000/3600)m/s = 30.56 m/s

Then we have:

a = (-30.55 m/s)/5s = -6.11 m/s^2

Now the velocity equation is:

v(t) = -6.11m/s^2*t + 30.56m/s

To write the positon equation we must integrate over time again, we can get:

p(t) = (1/2)*(-6.11m/s^2)*t^2 + (30.56m/s)*t + p0

Where p0 is the initial position, here i will assume that is zero, because it does no really mater.

The total displacement of the car will be equal to p(5s)

p(5s) = (1/2)*(-6.11m/s^2)*(5s)^2 + (30.56m/s)*(5s) = 76.425 meters.

The shortening of a transmitted signal's wavelength and/or an increase in its frequency, which indicates that the object is
Mrrafil [7]

Answer: The Doppler effect occurs when a source of a wave is moving relative to an observer (or the observer is moving relative to the source). In this case, the apparent frequency of the sound, as heard/seen by the observer, is shifted with respect to the original frequency of the wave.

More specifically, the relationship between the apparent frequency, f', and the original frequency, f, is given by:

where:

is the velocity of the wave

is the velocity of the observer relative to the source, and it is positive if the observer is moving towards the source, and negative if the observer is moving away from the source

is the velocity of the source relative to the observer, and it is positive if the source is moving away from the observer, and negative if the source is moving towards the observer

The doppler effect occurs in many daily-life situations: for instance, when an ambulance approaches you, you hear an increase in the apparent frequency of the siren due to the Doppler effect. Another example is the movements of distant galaxies from us: when they move away from us, the apparent frequency of the light they emit decreases, so their wavelengths appear to increase towards the red color (red-shift); on the contrary, when they are moving towards us, the apparent frequency seems to increase, so the wavelength seems to decrease towards the blue color (blue-shift).
