A planet orbits a star, in a year of length 2.35 x 107 s, in a nearly circular orbit of radius 3.49 x 1011 m. With respect to th

e star, determine (a) the angular speed of the planet, (b) the tangential speed of the planet, and (c) the magnitude of the planet's centripetal acceleration.

Answer:

a)   w = 9.599 10⁴ rad / s , b)   v = 3.35 10¹⁶ m / s , c)    a = 3.22  10²¹ m / s²

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the relation of angular kinematics

a) angular velocity, the distance remembered in orbit between time (period)

         w = 2π r / T

         w = 2 π 3.59 10¹¹ / 2.35 10⁷

         w = 9.599 10⁴ rad / s

b) linear and angular velocity are related by the equation

          v = w r

          v = 9,599 10⁴ 3.49 10¹¹

          v = 3.35 10¹⁶ m / s

c) the centripetal acceleration is

            a = v² / r = w² r

            a = (9,599 10⁴)²   3.49 10¹¹

            a = 3.22  10²¹ m / s²

Which statement is true about a planet’s orbital motion?
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Orbital motion results when the object’s forward motion is balanced by a second object’s gravitational pull.

Explanation:

The gravitational force is responsible for the orbital motion of the planet, satellite, artificial satellite, and other heavenly bodies in outer space.

When an object is applied with a velocity that is equal to the velocity of the orbit at that location, the body continues to move forward. And, this motion is balanced by the gravitational pull of the second object.

The orbiting body experience a centripetal force that is equal to the gravitational force of the second object towards the body.

The velocity of the orbit is given by the relation,

                                    V = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{R + h} }

Where

                   V - velocity of the orbit at a height h from the surface

                    R - Radius of the second object

                    G - Gravitational constant

                    h - height from the surface

The body will be in orbital motion when its kinetic motion is balanced by gravitational force.

                         1/2 mV^{2} = GMm/R

Hence, the orbital motion results when the object’s forward motion is balanced by a second object’s gravitational pull.

Increase the slit width to 1050 nm. What happens to the width of the central bright fringe? (Always remember to wait a few secon
djyliett [7]

Answer:

b.

Explanation:

In case of Single Slit, diffraction will occur.

Then In Single slit Diffraction, width of central fringe is

x_c= 2D\lambda/a


where D= distance b/w screen and slit

a= slit width

\lambda = wavelength

Thus if Screen width increases keeping other factors same then width of central fringe becomes narrower as

x_c\propto 1/a

On increasing the slit width the central bright fringe width The width of the central bright fringe becomes narrower.

What is the pressure at 5000 km below the surface of the earth
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

The centre of the earth is harder to study than the centre of the sun." Temperatures in the lower mantle the reach around 3,000-3,500 degrees Celsius and the barometer reads about 125 gigapascals, about one and a quarter million times atmospheric pressure.
