Which describes the rotational motion of a planet?

1 answer:

4 0

<span>B.) The motion of the planet as it spins on its axis

Please be careful with option A, 'cause it is "Revolutionary motion", many people would choose that but, it's wrong.

In short, Your Answer would be Option B

Hope this helps!</span>

Answer:Hollow sphere

Explanation:

Given

same mass for solid and hollow sphere

same $v_{cm}$ before they start up incline

Moment of inertia of solid Sphere

$I_1=\frac{2}{5}Mr^2$

Moment of inertia of hollow sphere

$I_2=\frac{2}{3}Mr^2$

Conserving Energy at bottom and top point for solid sphere

kinetic energy +Rotational Energy=Potential energy

$\frac{1}{2}Mv_{cm}^2+\frac{1}{2}I\omega ^2=mgh_1$

for pure rolling $v_{cm}=\omega r$

$\frac{1}{2}Mv_{cm}^2+\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{2}{5}Mr^2=Mgh_1$

$\frac{7}{10}Mv_{cm}^2=Mgh_1$

$h_1=\frac{7v_{cm}^2}{10g}$

For hollow sphere

$\frac{1}{2}Mv_{cm}^2+\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{2}{3}Mr^2=Mgh_2$

$h_2=\frac{5v_{cm}^2}{6g}$

therefore height gained by hollow sphere is more

How does friction affect energy

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Friction is a resistive force to motion. When two bodies move against each other some of the kinetic energy is converted to heat energy due to friction. This reduces the total kinetic energy in the system.

Answer:

Explanation:

= velocity / frequency

= 1482 / (18 x 1000)

= .0823 m

= 8.23 cm

b ) Applying Doppler's effect relation

frequency of reflected wave

= 18000 [ 1482 / (1482 - 4.95 ) ]

= 18000 x 1.003385

= 18061

Mass is a physical body's total amount of matter. It also serves as a gauge for the body's inertia or resistance to acceleration (change in velocity) in the presence of a net force. The strength of an object's gravitational pull to other bodies is also influenced by its mass.
The kilogram is the SI unit of mass (kg). In science and technology, a body's weight in a given reference frame is the force that causes it to accelerate at a rate equal to the local acceleration of free fall in that frame.
For instance, a kilogram mass weighs around 2.2 pounds at the surface of the planet. However, the same kilogram mass would weigh just about 0.8 pounds on Mars and about 5.5 pounds on Jupiter.
An object's mass is a crucial indicator of how much stuff it contains. Weight is a measurement of an object's gravitational pull. It is influenced by the object's location in addition to its mass. As a result, weight is a measurement of force.

The length of the semi-major axis is calculated as follows:

where $, $G=6.67 \times 10^{-1} \mathrm{~m}^3 / \mathrm{kgs}$$

$M=1.99 \times 10^{30} \mathrm{~kg}=$ mass of sur

$\begin{aligned}\therefore \quad \text { At aphelion, } r &=50 \times U \\&=50 \times 1.496 \times 10^{11} \mathrm{~m} . \\U=-\frac{6.67 \times 10^{-11} \times \mathrm{m} 1.99 \times 10^{30} \times 1.20 \times 10^{10}}{50 \times 1.496 \times 10^{11}} \\U=-2.13 \times 10^{17} \mathrm{~J} .\end{aligned}$

$U=-2.13 \times 10^{17} \mathrm{~J} .\end{aligned}$
