A planet similar to the Earth has a radius 7.4 × 106 m and has an acceleration of gravity of 10 m/s 2 on the planet’s surface. T

he planet rotates about its axis with a period of 25 h. Imagine that the rotational speed can be increased. If an object at the equator is to have zero apparent weight, what is the new period? Answer in units of h.
Part 2:
By what factor would the speed of the object be increased when the planet is rotating at the higher speed?

Answer:

1.5 hr

16.7

Explanation:

Zero apparent weight means there's no normal force.

Sum the forces in the centripetal direction.

∑F = ma

mg = mv²/r

v = √(gr)

v = √(7.4×10⁶ m × 10 m/s²)

v = 8602 m/s

The circumference of the equator is:

C = 2πr

C = 2π (7.4×10⁶ m)

C = 4.65×10⁷ m

So the period is:

T = C / v

T = (4.65×10⁷ m) / (8602 m/s)

T = 5405 s

T = 1.5 hr

The initial speed is:

v = C / T

v = (4.65×10⁷ m) / (25 h × 3600 s/h)

v = 517 m/s

The speed increases by a factor of:

8602 m/s / 517 m/s

Lena [83]

Answer:

Only 2,3,4 are true

Explanation:

Bosons Particles are particles that condense to the same state. Bosons particle have integral spin like 0 , $\hbar$, 2$\hbar, 3$\hbar$, etc. Bosons particles always have asymmetric wave function and there is exchange of particles.

1) It does not obey Fermi_ Dirac statistics

2) It obeys Bose-Einstein statistics

3) The object can have intrinsic spin 2$\hbar

4) Yes the Bosons particle is always symmetric with exchange of particles

5) No Bosons particle are symmetric and not asymmetric

Which of the following is a possible use for nuclear energy?
belka [17]
<span>Nuclear energy can be used to power all of the above choices. Nuclear power plants produce radioactive waste that must be stored properly. It is very impossible for a nuclear power plant to have no waste at all since lots of chemicals are used to create the process as it gives energy to other machines, weapons such as bombs and  powering submarines.  Radioactive waste can not be released into local water supplies since the wastes are very radioactive and may cause mutation to the fishes and bioaccumulation which will affect humans as well. It will also cause air pollution if the chemicals are not stored properly.</span>

At which position would a person on earth see the entire lighted half of the moon?
Gemiola [76]

The best position for the person would be outside, under a clear sky, standing up.  He should do it sometime between sunset and sunrise, from a day before until a day after the moment of Full Moon.

A car approaches you at a constant speed, sounding its horn, and you hear a frequency of 76 Hz. After the car goes by, you hear
Talja [164]

Answer:

70.07 Hz

Explanation:

Since the sound is moving away from the observer then

f_o = f_s\frac {(v+vs)}{v} and f_o = f_s\frac {(v-vs)}{v} when moving towards observer

With f_o of 76 then taking speed in air as 343 m/s we have

76 = f_s\times\frac {(343-vs)}{343}

f_s=\frac {343\times 76}{343-v_s}

Similarly, with f_o of 65 we have

65 = f_s\times\frac {(343+vs)}{343}\\f_s=\frac {343\times 65}{343+v_s}

Now

f_s=\frac {343\times 65}{343+v_s}=\frac {343\times 76}{343-v_s}

v_s=27.76 m/s

Substituting the above into  any of the first two equations then we obtain

f_s=70.07 Hz
