The center of a moon of mass m is a distance D from the center of a planet of mass M. At some distance x from the center of the

planet, along a line connecting the centers of planet and moon, the net force on an object will be zero. (a) Derive an expression for x in terms of m, M, and D. (b) If the net force is zero a distance 2/3D from the planet, what is the ratio R of the mass of the planet to the mass of the moon, M/m?

Answer:

x = D (M/M-m) 2.41

Explanation:

a) Let's apply Newton's second law to find the summation of force, where each force is given by the law of universal gravitation

        F = g m₁m₂ / r²

        Σ F = 0

       F1- F2 = 0

       F1 = F2

We set the reference system in the body of greatest mass (M) the planet

       F1 = g m₁ M / x²

       F2 = G m1 m / (D-x)²

      G m₁ M / x² = G m₁ m / (D-x)²

      M (D-x)² = m x²

      MD² -2MD x + M x² = m x²

     x² (M-m) -2MD x + MD² = 0

We solve the second degree equation

     x = [2MD  ±√ (4M²D² - 4 (M-m) MD²)] / 2 (M-m)

     x = {2MD ± 2D √ (M² + (M-m) M)} / 2 (M-m)

     x = D {M  ±  Ra (2M²-mM)} / (M-m)

    x = D (M ± M √ (2-m/M)) / (M-m)

    x = D (M / (M-m)) (1 ±√ (2-m/M)

Let's analyze this result, the value of M-m >> 1, so if we take the negative root, the value of x would be negative, it is out of the point between the two bodies, so the correct result must be taken with the positive root

 

    x = D (M / (M-m)) (1 + √2)

     x = D (M/M-m) 2.41

b) X = 2/3 D

     x = D (M/M-m) 2.41

     2/3 D = D (M/(M-m)) 2.41

     2/3 (M-m) = M 2.41

     2/3 M - 2/3 m = 2.41 M

     1.743 M = 0.667 m

     M/m = 0.667/1.743

     M/m =  0.38

Semenov [28]

Answer:

The temperature of air will increase by \Delta T=41044.967\ K

Explanation:

Given:

  • no. of person in a theater, n=501
  • volume of air in the theater, V=8\times 10^3\ m^3
  • rate of heat given off by each person, P=110\ J.s^{-1}
  • duration of movie, t=2\ hr=7200\ s
  • initial pressure in the theater, p_i=1.01\times 10^5\ Pa
  • initial temperature in the theater, T_i=20+273=293\ K
  • specific heat capacity of air at the given conditions, c=1.0061\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}

<u>The total quantity of heat released by the total people in the theater during the movie:</u>

Q=n.P.t

Q=501\times 110\times 7200

Q=396792000\ J

<u>Form the relation of heat capacity:</u>

Q=m.c.\Delta T

∵p_i.V=m.R.T

Q=(\frac{p_i.V}{R.T}) \times c\times (T_f-T_i)

396792000=(\frac{1.01\times 10^5\times 8\times 10^3}{287\times 293}) \times 1.0061\times (T_f-293)

T_f=41337.967\ K

Change in temperature of air:

\Delta T=41044.967\ K

E asteroid belt circles the sun between the orbits of mars and jupiter. one asteroid has a period of 6.0 earth years. part a wha
anzhelika [568]

To solve the problem, use Kepler's 3rd law : 

T² = 4π²r³ / GM 

Solved for r : 

r = [GMT² / 4π²]⅓ 

but first covert 6.00 years to seconds : 

6.00years = 6.00years(365days/year)(24.0hours/day)(6... 
= 1.89 x 10^8s 

The radius of the orbit then is : 

r = [(6.67 x 10^-11N∙m²/kg²)(1.99 x 10^30kg)(1.89 x 10^8s)² / 4π²]⅓ 
= 6.23 x 10^11m

Nearly all liquids and solids are nearly opaque to radiation at nearly all wavelengths. why is that
anastassius [24]
As radiation enters a solid or liquid, the light waves are absorbed and reflected by the atoms. the resulting reflection from an atom can be in any direction and is random. you can understand opacity in terms of the scattering of radiation. The more opaque, the more scattering.

(The truth is far more complicated than this, check out Richard Feynmans lectures on "Quantum Electro Dynamics" to learn the reality of it. )
