The planet Jupiter orbits the Sun at a nearly constant speed. Which of the following statements are true?

Physics
1 answer:
RoseWind [281]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

a. There is a force on Jupiter toward the center of the orbit.

d. Jupiter is accelerating toward the center of the orbit.

Explanation:

Let us look at each of the choices one by one:

a. There is a force on Jupiter toward the center of the orbit.

True. The sun being at the center of Jupiter's orbit, pulls the planet towards it (providing the centripetal force), therefore, there exists a force on Jupiter toward the center of the orbit.

b. There is a force on Jupiter pulling it out from the center of the orbit.

Nope. The centripetal force due to gravity acts towards the center of the orbit.  

c. There is a force on Jupiter in the direction of its motion.

Nope. There exists only the centripetal force acting towards the center of the orbit,

d. Jupiter is accelerating toward the center of the orbit.

Yes. Because of the centripetal force gravity provides, Jupiter is accelerating towards the center of the orbit, but it does not fall in because it has velocity perpendicular to the direction of its acceleration.

Unlike hard disks, which use magnetic charges to represent 1s and 0s, _____ use reflected light.
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

Unlike hard disks, which use magnetic charges to represent 1s and 0s, Compact Disks, DVD's or Blue Rays use reflected light.

Explanation:

The way CD's work is that they are hit by a laser beam which is reflected on the surface of the disc. These disks have some valleys and mountains that reflect light differently so the CD player will interpret these differences in reflection as data which will then be turned into music, videos or computer files.

A kite 40 ft above the ground moves horizontally at a constant speed of 10 ft/s, with a child, holding the ball of kite string,
Lorico [155]

Answer:

 v = 27.28 m /s, θ = 63.9º

Explanation:

For this exercise we can approximate the movement to a projectile launch, let's analyze the situation.

* We must find the horizontal speed, for this we will find the descent time and the horizontal distance

* We look for the vertical speed

At the highest point the speed is horizontal

Let's find the time it takes for the kite to reach the ground

             y = y₀ + v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

             0 =y₀ + 0 -1/2 gt²

             t = \sqrt{ \frac{2y_o}{g} }

             t = √(2 40/32)

             t = 2.5 s

to find the horizontal velocity we must know the horizontal distance, let's use trigonometry

          sin θ = y / l

          θ = sin⁻¹1 y / l

          θ = sin⁻¹ 40/50

          θ = 53.1º

therefore the horizontal distance is

          x = l cos 53.1

          x = 50cos 53.1

          x = 30 m

let's use the equation

          x = v₀ₓ t

          v₀ₓ = x / t

          v₀ₓ = 30 / 2.5

          v₀ₓ = 12 m / s

we look for the vertical component of the velocity

          v_y = v_{oy} - g t

          v_y = 0 - g t

          v_y = - 9.8 2.5

          v_y = -24.5 m / s

the negative sign indicates that the speed is directed downwards, because it is the arrival point, as they indicate that there is no friction, the exit speed is the same, worse with the opposite sign

We already have the two components of the velocity, let's use the Pythagorean theorem to find the modulus

          v = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2}

          v = \sqrt{12^2 + 24.5^2}

          v = 27.28 m /s

we use trigonometry for the angle

          tan θ = v_y / vₓ

          θ = tan⁻¹ v_y / vₓ

          θ = tan⁻¹ 24.5 / 12

          θ = 63.9º
