In the absence of gravity, t<span>he rocks and debris
would never accrete into a planet. (B)

Also by the way, it wouldn't matter much, because
there wouldn't be a star to orbit around, AND orbits
wouldn't exist either.</span>

Answer:

(B)The rocks and debris would never accrete into a planet.

Explanation:

During the formation of planets, rocks and debris aggregate together because of the gravity. Gravity, in fact, is the force exerted between every object that has mass. The magnitude of the force of gravity is given by

$F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

m1 and m2 are the masses of the two particles

r is the distance between the two particles

Without the force of gravity, there will be no force that would accrete the rocks and the debris into a planet.

Answer:

C. 590 mph

$\vert v_{cj}\vert=589.49\ mph$

Explanation:

Given:

velocity of jet, $v_j=500\ mph$
direction of velocity of jet, east relative to the ground
velocity of Cessna, $v_c=150\ mph$
direction of velocity of Cessna, 60° north of west

Taking the x-axis alignment towards east and hence we have the velocity vector of the jet as reference.

Refer the attached schematic.

So,

$\vec v_j=500\ \hat i\ mph$

$\vec v_c=150\times (\cos120\ \hat i+\sin120\ \hat j)$

$\vec v_c=-75\ \hat i+75\sqrt{3}\ \hat j\ mph$

Now the vector of relative velocity of Cessna with respect to jet:

$\vec v_{cj}=\vec v_j-\vec v_c$

$\vec v_{cj}=500\ \hat i-(-75\ \hat i+75\sqrt{3}\ \hat j )$

$\vec v_{cj}=575\ \hat i-75\sqrt{3}\ \hat j\ mph$

Now the magnitude of this velocity:

$\vert v_{cj}\vert=\sqrt{(575)^2+(75\sqrt{3} )^2}$

$\vert v_{cj}\vert=589.49\ mph$ is the relative velocity of Cessna with respect to the jet.

(a) If two sound waves, one in a gas medium and one in a liquid medium, are equal in intensity, what is the ratio of the pressur

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

(a) The ratio of the pressure amplitude of the waves is 43.21

(b) The ratio of the intensities of the waves is 0.000535

Explanation:

Given;

density of gas, $\rho _g$ = 2.27 kg/m³

density of liquid, $\rho _l$ = 972 kg/m³

speed of sound in gas, $C_g$ = 376 m/s

speed of sound in liquid, $C_l$ = 1640 m/s

The of the sound wave is given by;

$I = \frac{P_o^2}{2 \rho C} \\\\P_o^2 = 2 \rho C I\\\\p_o = \sqrt{2 \rho CI}$

Where;

$P_o$ is the pressure amplitude

$P_o_g= \sqrt{2 \rho _g C_gI} -------(1)\\\\P_o_l= \sqrt{2 \rho _l C_lI}---------(2)\\\\\frac{P_o_l}{P_o_g} = \frac{\sqrt{2 \rho _l C_lI}}{\sqrt{2 \rho _g C_gI}} \\\\\frac{P_o_l}{P_o_g} = \sqrt{\frac{2 \rho _l C_lI}{2 \rho _g C_gI} }\\\\ \frac{P_o_l}{P_o_g} = \sqrt{\frac{ \rho _l C_l}{ \rho _g C_g} }\\\\ \frac{P_o_l}{P_o_g} = \sqrt{\frac{ (972)( 1640)}{ (2.27)( 376)} }\\\\\frac{P_o_l}{P_o_g} = 43.21$

(b) when the pressure amplitudes are equal, the ratio of the intensities is given as;

$I = \frac{P_o^2}{2 \rho C}\\\\I_g = \frac{P_o^2}{2 \rho _g C_g}-------(1)\\\\I_l = \frac{P_o^2}{2 \rho _l C_l}-------(2)\\\\\frac{I_l}{I_g} = (\frac{P_o^2}{2 \rho _l C_l})*(\frac{2\rho_gC_g}{P_o^2} )\\\\\frac{I_l}{I_g} = \frac{\rho _gC_g}{\rho_lC_l} \\\\\frac{I_l}{I_g} = \frac{(2.27)(376)}{(972)(1640)}\\\\ \frac{I_l}{I_g} = 0.000535$
