Kepler’s third law formula: T^2=4pi^2*r^3/(GM)

We’re trying to find M, so:

M=4pi^2*r^3/(G*T^2)

M=4pi^2*(1.496 × 10^11 m)^3/((6.674× 10^-11N*m^2/kg^2)*(365.26days)^2)

M=1.48× 10^40(m^3)/((N*m^2/kg^2)*days^2))

Let’s work with the units:

(m^3)/((N*m^2/kg^2)*days^2))=

=(m^3*kg^2)/(N*m^2*days^2)

=(m*kg^2)/(N*days^2)

=(m*kg^2)/((kg*m/s^2)*days^2)

=(kg)/(days^2/s^2)

=(kg*s^2)/(days^2)

So:

M=1.48× 10^40(kg*s^2)/(days^2)

Now we need to convert days to seconds in order to cancel them:

1 day=24 hours=24*60minutes=24*60*60s=86400s

M=1.48× 10^40(kg*s^2)/((86400s)^2)

M=1.48× 10^40(kg*s^2)/( 86400^2*s^2)

M=1.48× 10^40kg/86400^2

M=1.98x10^30kg

The closest answer is 1.99 × 10^30

(it may vary a little with rounding – the difference is less than 1%)

A horizontal wire is hung from the ceiling of a room by two massless strings. The wire has a length of 0.11 m and a mass of 0.01
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

The magnetic force acting horizontally will deflect the wire by angle φ from the vertical

Let T be the tension

T cosφ = mg

Tsinφ = Magnetic force

Tsinφ = BiL  , where B is magnetic field , i is current and L is length of wire

Dividing

Tanφ = BiL / mg

= .055 x 29 x .11 / .010 x 9.8

= 1.79

φ = 61° .

Tension T = mg / cosφ

= .01 x 9.8 / cos61

= .2 N .

Why does Energy appear continuous in everyday life?
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

The first law of thermodynamics, also known as Law of Conservation of Energy, states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; energy can only be transferred or changed from one form to another. For example, turning on a light would seem to produce energy; however, it is electrical energy that is converted. Nothing happens to the energy. It does not change form, since energy has no form. ... If the energy was moving, it gets stored or re-transmitted elsewhere. Using energy means controlling its movement, rather than consuming it.

stira [4]

Answer:

The coefficient is 0.90

Explanation:

Drawing a diagram makes thing easier, we will assume that the acceleration tends to zero because it start barely moving.

-F_s+mg*sin(\theta)+F=0\\F_s=57.1kg*9.8m/s^2*sin(28.3)+177N\\F_s=442N\\F_s=\µ*N\\N=m*g*cos(\theta)\\N=57.1*9.8*cos(28.3)=493N\\\\\µ=\frac{442N}{493N}=0.90
