gravitational force is the attraction force of earth on an object which is near the surface of earth

It will not depend on the velocity or acceleration of earth

So it will not change while an object is stationary or it is moving with some acceleration

So here we will say that force will remain the same

$F = mg$

Jupiter's semimajor axis is 7.78×1011 m. The mass of the Sun is 1.99×1030 kg. (a) What is the period of Jupiter's orbit in secon

dedylja [7]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Semi major axis of the Jupiter, $a=7.78\times 10^{11}\ m$

Mass of the sun, $M=1.99\times 10^{30}\ kg$

(a) Let T is the period of Jupiter's orbit. It is given by :

$T^2\propto a^3$

$T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{GM}a^3$

$T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.99\times 10^{30}}\times (7.78\times 10^{11})^3$

$T=3.74\times 10^8\ s$

(b) We know that,

$1\ year=3.154\times 10^7\ s$

$1\ s=3.171\times 10^{-8}\ year$

$3.74\times 10^8\ s={3.171\times 10^{-8}}\times {3.74\times 10^8}$

T = 11.859 earth years

Hence, this is the required solution.

A small economy car (low mass) and a limousine (high mass) are pushed from rest across a parking lot, equal distances with equal

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

The car that receives more kinetic energy is the small economy car.

Explanation:

K.E = 0.5*mv²

Where;

K.E is the kinetic Energy

M is the mass of an object

V is the velocity of the moving object

But F = m(v/t), from Newton's second law of motion

If equal forces were applied to the two cars, then the velocity of each car will be calculated as follows.

v = (Ft/m)

v² = (Ft/m)²

Substitute in the value of v² into Kinetic energy equation

K.E = 0.5*mv²

K.E = 0.5*m(Ft/m)² = (0.5*F²t²)/m

Also assuming equal distance, equal force and assuming equal time for both cars.

The above equation will reduce to, K.E = k/m

Where k = 0.5*F²t², which is equal in both cars.

Thus, Kinetic energy will depend only on the mass of each car.

From the above expression, Kinetic Energy received by each car is inversely proportional to the mass of the car.

A small economy car (low mass) will receive more kinetic energy while a limousine (high mass) car will receive less kinetic energy.

Therefore, the car that receives more kinetic energy is the small economy car.
