The radius and time period of orbit of a sattellite are related by the formula:
R³ = GMT²/4π²; where R is the orbital radius, T is the orbital time period, M is the mass of the more massive body, G is the graviational constant
(9.4 x 10⁶)³ = (6.674 × 10⁻¹¹<span>)(M)(2.8 x 10</span>⁴<span>)</span>²<span> / (4</span>π²)
M = 6.27 x 10²³ kg

The mass of the planet Mars is \boxed{6.27\times{{10}^{23}}\,{\text{kg}}} .

Further Explanation:

Given:

The time period of rotation of the satellite is 2.8 \times{10^4}\,{\text{s}} .

The orbital radius of the satellite about the planet is 9.4\times{10^6}\,{\text{m}} .

Concept:

The relation between the mass of the planet, time period of rotation of its satellite and the orbital radius of the satellite is given by the Kepler’s third Law of planetary motion. According to this law, the square of time period of the satellite is directly proportional to the cube of the radius of the circular path of the satellite.

The Kepler’s third law is expressed mathematically as:

{T^2}=\left({\frac{{4{\pi^2}}}{{GM}}}\right){R^3}

Here, T  is the time period of rotation of the satellite for the planet,   G is the gravitational constant, M  is the mass of the planet and R  is the orbital radius of the satellite.

The value of the gravitational constant G  is 6.67\time {10^{-11}}\,{{{\text{N}}\cdot{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}}\mathord{\left/{\vphantom{{{\text{N}}\cdot{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}}{{\text{k}}{{\text{g}}^{\text{2}}}}}}\right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace}{{\text{k}}{{\text{g}}^{\text{2}}}}}

Substitute the values of T , G and R  in above expression.

\begin{aligned}\left(2.8\times10^{4}\right)^{2}&=\left(\dfrac{4\times(3.14)^{2}}{(6.767\times10^{-11})M}\right)(9.4\times10^{6})^{3}\\M&=\dfrac{4\times(3.14)^{2}\times(9.4\times10^{6})^{3}}{(6.67\times10^{-11})(2.8\times10^{4})^{2}}\\&=\dfrac{3.279\times10^{22}}{5.229\times10^{-2}}\\&=6.27\times10^{23}\text{ Kg}\end{aligned}

Thus, the mass of the planet Mars is \boxed{6.27\times{{10}^{23}}\,{\text{kg}}}

A solid cylinder of uniform density of 0.85 g/cm3 floats in a glass of water tinted light blue by food coloring.
SVEN [57.7K]

Each side has to have at least 44 horses

F61160 N. This is further explained below.

<h3>What is the force?</h3>

Generally, We are only interested in the component that operates horizontally since the vertical components all cancel each other out. The pressure difference works on the hemisphere to generate a normal force all over the surface, but we are only concerned with that force's horizontal component. This may be determined by supposing the hemispheres to be two flat circular plates of the same radius as the hemispheres that have been forced together.

Therefore, force is equal to pressure multiplied by area, which is

F= (970 -15 )( * (0.45 m)2)

F=60754 N for each side.

Therefore, each side has to have at least 44 horses

44* 1390 = 61160 N

amm1812

For a reaction to occur, energy must be absorbed to break chemical bonds

<u>Explanation:</u>

Reactions can be classified as chemical reaction, nuclear reaction, thermal reaction. So in these three reaction types, the nature of energy will only be varying.

But in order to execute a reaction, there should be breaking of existing bonds and then formation of new bonds. So for breaking of the bonds of reactants, energy should be absorbed from the surrounding.

Then the extra energy will be released after forming the products. Thus, the process of absorption of energy will lead to endothermic process and the process of releasing of energy will lead to exothermic reaction. So for a reaction to occur, energy must be absorbed to break the chemical bonds.

Each second, 1250 m3 of water passes over a waterfall 150 m high. Three-fourths of the kinetic energy gained by the water in fal
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

The generator produces electrical energy at a rate of 1378125000 J per second.

Explanation:

volume of water falling each second is 1250 m^{3}

height through which it falls, h is 150 m

mass of 1 m^{3} of water is 1000 kg

⇒mass of 1250 m^{3} of water, m = 1250×1000 = 1250000 kg

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 \frac{m}{sec^{2} }

in falling through 150 m in each second, by Work-Energy Theorem:

Kinetic Energy(KE) gained by it = Potential Energy(PE) lost by it

⇒KE = mgh

        = 1250000×9.8×150 J

        = 1837500000 J

Electrical Energy = \frac{3}{4}(KE)

                            = \frac{3}{4}×1837500000

                            = <u>1378125000 J per second</u>
