The gravitational force of a star on an orbiting planet 1 is F1. Planet 2, which is twice as massive as planet 1 and orbits at t

hree times larger distance from the star, experiences gravitational force F2.
What is the ratio F2F1? You can ignore the gravitational force between the two planets.

Answer:

ratio = 1 : 4.5

Explanation:

If m₁ is the mass of the star and m₂ the mass of the planet, the force of gravity F₁ for planet 1 is given by:

F_1=\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}

The force F₂:

F_2=\frac{Gm_1(2m_2)}{(3r)^2}

The ratio:

\frac{F_2}{F_1}=\frac{2}{9}

When you look at the backside of a shiny teaspoon held at arm's length, do you see yourself upright or upside down? (b) When you
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

a) The back spoon gives a right image (upright)

b) the front gives an inverted image

Explanation:

The spoon is a curved metallic object, when we see ourselves from the back we have a convex mirror, in this type of mirror when the law of reflection is applied the rays diverge therefore the eye-brain system forms the image with the prolongation of the rays, therefore the image is straight and smaller than the object.

When we look through the deep side of the spoon, we have a concave mirror and as the object (we) is further away than the distance, the rays converge to a point, so the image is real, inverted smaller than the object.

In summary.

a) The back spoon gives a right image (upright)

b) the front gives an inverted image

A golf club rotates 215 degrees and has a length (radius) equal to 29 inches. The time it took to swing the club was 0.8 seconds
vichka [17]

Answer:

The average linear velocity (inches/second) of the golf club is 136.01 inches/second

Explanation:

Given;

length of the club, L = 29 inches

rotation angle, θ = 215⁰

time of motion, t = 0.8 s

The angular speed of the club is calculated as follows;

\omega = (\frac{\theta}{360} \times 2\pi, \ rad) \times \frac{1}{t} \\\\\omega =  (\frac{215}{360} \times 2\pi, \ rad) \times \frac{1}{0.8 \ s} \\\\\omega = 4.69 \ rad/s

The average linear velocity (inches/second) of the golf club is calculated as;

v = ωr

v = 4.69 rad/s  x  29 inches

v = 136.01 inches/second

Therefore, the average linear velocity (inches/second) of the golf club is 136.01 inches/second

How much work does this force do as the particle moves along the x-axis from x = 0 to x = l? express your answer in terms of the
nydimaria [60]
<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

= F0 L ( 1 - 1/e )

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Work done is given as the product of force and distance.

In this case;

Work done  = ∫︎ F(x) dx  

                    = F0 ∫︎ e^(-x/L) dx  

                    = F0 [ -L e^(-x/L) ] between 0 and L  

                    = F0 L ( 1 - 1/e )

Vivian went on a bicycle trip through Germany with her family. One afternoon, she rode her bicycle along a long flat road at a c
natima [27]

d = distance traveled by her on her bicycle on a long flat road = 24 kilometer

t = time taken by her to travel distance "d" on her bicycle on a long flat road = 1.2 hours

v = average speed of vivian = ?

we know that average speed is given as

v = d/t

inserting the values in the above formula

v = 24 kilometer / 1.2 hour

v = 20 kilometer/hour


hence the correct choice is

C) 20 km/h
