Explanation:

When an object moves in a circular path, it will have circular acceleration. Its magnitude of acceleration is given by :  

a=\omega^2R

Since, \omega=\dfrac{2\pi }{T}R

a=(\dfrac{2\pi}{T})^2R

T is the time period

R is the radius of the circular path

To increase the centripetal acceleration bu a factor of 1.5 or 3/2, radius of circle must be increase by a factor of 6 and T is increased by a factor of 2 such that,

R'=6R and T'=2T

So,

a'=(\dfrac{2\pi}{T'})^2R'

a'=(\dfrac{2\pi}{(2T)})^2(6R)

a'=\dfrac{6}{4}(\dfrac{2\pi}{T})^2R

a'=\dfrac{3}{2}(\dfrac{2\pi}{T})^2R

Hence, this is the required solution.

The earth has a vertical electric field at the surface, pointing down, that averages 100 N/C. This field is maintained by variou
zlopas [31]

Answer:

q = 3.6 10⁵  C

Explanation:

To solve this exercise, let's use one of the consequences of Gauss's law, that all the charge on a body can be considered at its center, therefore we calculate the electric field on the surface of a sphere with the radius of the Earth

          r = 6 , 37 106 m

          E = k q / r²

          q = E r² / k

          q = \frac{100 \ (6.37 \ 10^6)^2}{9 \ 10^9}

          q = 4.5 10⁵ C

Now let's calculate the charge on the planet with E = 222 N / c and radius

           r = 0.6 r_ Earth

           r = 0.6 6.37 10⁶ = 3.822 10⁶ m

           E = k q / r²

            q = E r² / k

            q = \frac{222 (3.822 \ 10^6)^2}{ 9 \ 10^9}

            q = 3.6 10⁵  C

a scale model of the solar system where 50 cm represents 1.0x10 to the fifth km is actual distance what would be the dimension o
Fofino [41]

The distance between Mars and the Sun in the scale model would be 1140 m

Explanation:

In this scale model, we have:

x_1 = 50 cm represents an actual distance of

d_1 = 1.0\cdot 10^5 km

The actual distance between Mars and the Sun is 228 million km, therefore

d_2=228\cdot 10^6 km

On the scale model, this would corresponds to a distance of x_2.

Therefore, we can write the following proportion:

\frac{x_1}{d_1}=\frac{x_2}{d_2}

And solving for x_2, we find:

x_2=\frac{x_1 d_2}{d_1}=\frac{(50)(228\cdot 10^6)}{1\cdot 10^5}=1.14\cdot 10^5 cm = 1140 m

The distance of Saturn from the sun is:<br><br> &lt; 1 A.U.<br> &gt; 1 A.U.<br> = 1 A.U.
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

1 astronomical unit is the average distance from the Earth to the Sun; approximately 150 million km. At its closest point, Saturn is 9 AU, and then at its most distant point, it's 10.1 AU. Saturn's average distance from the Sun is 9.6 AU. We have written many articles about Saturn for Universe Today.
