Answer:

The Ring of Fire

Explanation:

The ring of fire is also called the Circum-Pacific Belt, it is a path along the pacific ocean consisting of active volcanoes and frequent earthquakes.

It has a length of approximately 40,000 kilometers. It lies on the edge of tectonic plates where the in-earth vibrations and geothermal energies are prone to erupt out.

Ring of fire inhibits about 75% o the earth's volcanoes and 95% of earthquakes occur in this region.

Law of motion that says for every action there is an equal and opposite
hodyreva [135]

Answer: Newton's third law

Formally stated, Newton's third law is: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object.

To teach you how to find the parameters characterizing an object in a circular orbit around a much heavier body like the earth.
Karolina [17]

Answer:

a)  T² = (\frac{4\pi ^2}{GM})  r³

b) veloicity the dependency is the inverse of the root of the distance

kinetic energy  depends on the inverse of the distance

potential energy dependency is the inverse of distance

angular momentum depends directly on the root of the distance

Explanation:

1) for this exercise we will use Newton's second law

            F = ma

in this case the acceleration is centripetal

            a = v² / r

the linear and angular variable are related

           v = w r

we substitute

           a = w² r

force is the universal force of attraction

           F = G \frac{m M}{r^2}

we substitute

         G \frac{m M}{r^2} = m w^2 r

         w² = \frac{GM}{r^3}

angular velocity is related to frequency and period

         w = 2π f = 2π / T

we substitute

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

the final equation is

             T² = ()  r³

b) the speed of the orbit can be found

           v = w r

            v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r^3} } \ r

            v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r} }

in this case the dependency is the inverse of the root of the distance

Kinetic energy

           K = ½ M v²

           K = ½ M GM / r

           K = ½ GM² 1 / r

the kinetic energy depends on the inverse of the distance

Potential energy

          U =

          U = -G mM / r

dependency is the inverse of distance

Angular momentum

          L = r x p

for a circular orbit

           L = r p = r Mv

           L =

         L =

The angular momentum depends directly on the root of the distance

In midair in the international space station a 1 kg chunk of putty moving at 1 m/s collides with and sticks to a 5 kg chunk of p
Delicious77 [7]
<span>We know that the momentum keeps constant in a inelastic collisions, so the product of mass and speed do not change:
   m1 * v1 + m2 * v2 = m * v
 1 * 1 + 5 * 0 = (1 + 5) * v
  1 = 6 * v
 v = 1/6 m/s
   So the final speed of the 6 kg chunk will travel at 0.167 m/s</span>
