The Moon requires about 1 month (0.08 year) to orbit Earth. Its distance from us is about 400,000 km (0.0027 AU). Use Kepler’s t

hird law, as modified by Newton, to calculate the mass of Earth relative to the Sun.

Answer:

\frac{M_e}{M_s} = 3.07 \times 10^{-6}

Explanation:

As per Kepler's III law we know that time period of revolution of satellite or planet is given by the formula

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{r^3}{GM}}

now for the time period of moon around the earth we can say

T_1 = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{r_1^3}{GM_e}}

here we know that

T_1 = 0.08 year

r_1 = 0.0027 AU

M_e = mass of earth

Now if the same formula is used for revolution of Earth around the sun

T_2 = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{r_2^3}{GM_s}}

here we know that

r_2 = 1 AU

T_2 = 1 year

M_s = mass of Sun

now we have

\frac{T_2}{T_1} = \sqrt{\frac{r_2^3 M_e}{r_1^3 M_s}}

\frac{1}{0.08} = \sqrt{\frac{1 M_e}{(0.0027)^3M_s}}

12.5 = \sqrt{(5.08 \times 10^7)\frac{M_e}{M_s}}

\frac{M_e}{M_s} = 3.07 \times 10^{-6}

Can an eagle reach exosphere through flying?
nignag [31]

Simply no.

And the problem wouldn't be only the lack of gravity, it would be also the lack of air.

Flying is an action not to far from swiming: something is moving trough some fluid. Of course that the fluid will incredibly matter, but the basics are the same.

When a eagle flies, it is pushing its wings against the air, and the air is holding that pressure against the wing, and, also for a bunch of anatomic reasons, the eagle is able to fly.

Without air and gravity, it will just keep floating around until one of the gravitational pulls wins the battle and attrack it to a painfull fate.

I hope I helped!

A rectangular sharp-crested weir is contracted on both sides, and the opening is 1.2 m wide. At what height (Hw) should it be pl
Alex

Answer:

H_w = 2.129 m

Explanation:

given,

Width of the weir, B = 1.2 m

Depth of the upstream weir, y = 2.5 m

Discharge, Q = 0.5 m³/s

Weir coefficient, C_w = 1.84 m

Now, calculating the water head over the weir

Q = C_w BH^{3/2}

H = (\dfrac{Q}{C_wB})^{2/3}

H = (\dfrac{0.5}{1.84\times 1.2})^{2/3}

H = 0.371\ m

now, level of weir on the channel

H_w = y - H

H_w = 2.5 - 0.371

H_w = 2.129 m

Height at which weir should place is equal to 2.129 m.
