Answer: Planet A orbits faster than Planet B.

Explanation:

Kepler's laws define the motion of a planet around a star. Planets move in an elliptical orbit around the star with star at one of its foci. The speeds are governed by second law of planetary motion. The line joining planet to star sweeps equal areas in equal time intervals. This means, in order to conserve angular momentum, the planet closer to sun would orbit faster than farther planets.

It is given that planet A is closer to star than planet B. This means that planet A would orbit the star faster than B.

A coin is placed on a vinyl stereo record that is making 33 1/3 revolutions per minute on a turntable. (a) In what direction is
mamaluj [8]

Answer: a) The acceletarion is directed to the center on the turntable. b) 5 cm; ac= 0.59 m/s^2; 10 cm, ac=1.20 m/s^2; 14 cm, ac=1.66 m/s^2

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we have to consider teh expression of the centripetal accelartion for a circular movement, which is given by:

ac=ω^2*r where ω and r are the angular speed and teh radios of the circular movement.

w=2*π*f

We know that the turntable is set to 33  1/3 rev/m so

the frequency 33.33/60=0.55 Hz

then w=2*π*0.55=3.45 rad/s

Finally the centripetal acceleration at differents radii results equal:

r= 0.05 m  ac=3.45^2*0.05=0.50 m/s^2

r=0.1  ac=3.45^2*0.1=1.20 m/s^2

r=0.14 ac=3.45^2*0.14=1.66 m/s^2

It depends on which side. Opposites attract, so north and south would attract to each other and collide, while north and north or south and south would go away from eachother.
