An undiscovered planet, many light-years from Earth, has one moon which has a nearly circular periodic orbit. If the distance fr

om the center of the moon to the surface of the planet is 2.31500 x 10^5 km and the planet has a radius of 4.150 x10^3 km and a mass of 7.15 x10^22 kg, how long (in days) does it take the moon to make one revolution around the planet. The gravitational constant is 6.67 x10^-11 N m^2/kg^2.

Answer:

118.06 days

Explanation:

d = distance of the center of moon from surface of planet = 2.315 x 10⁵ km = 2.315 x 10⁸ m

R = radius of the planet = 4.15 x 10³ km = 4.15 x 10⁵ m

r = center to center distance between the planet and moon = R + d

M = mass of the planet = 7.15 x 10²² kg

T = Time period of revolution around the planet

Using Kepler's third law

T^{2}=\frac{4\pi ^{2}r^{3}}{GM}

T^{2}=\frac{4\pi ^{2}(R + d)^{3}}{GM}

T^{2}=\frac{4(3.14)^{2}((4.15\times 10^{5}) + (2.315\times 10^{8}))^{3}}{(6.67\times 10^{-11})(7.15\times 10^{22})}

T = 1.02 x 10⁷ sec

we know that , 1 day = 24 h = 24 x 3600 sec = 86400 sec

T = (1.02 \times 10^{7} sec)\frac{1 day}{86400 sec}

T = 118.06 days

If Joe rides south on his bicycle in a straight line for 15 min with a average speed of 12.5 Km/h, how far has he ridden?
Olegator [25]
Using Dimensional analysis
15min/1·1hr/60min
15/1·1hr/60=15/60hr
.25hr
.25hr·12.5Km/h=3.125Km

It is interesting to speculate on the properties of a universe with different values for the fundamental constants.
qwelly [4]

Answer:

Part a)

\lambda = 0.345 m

Part b)

\Delta x = 0.274 m

Part c)

r = 2.8 \times 10^{11} m

Explanation:

Part a)

De broglie wavelength is given as

\lambda = \frac{h}{mv}

\lambda = \frac{1}{(0.145)(20)}

\lambda = 0.345 m

Part b)

By principle of uncertainty we know that

\Delta x \times \Delta P = \frac{h}{4\pi}

\Delta x \times (0.145)(21 - 19) = \frac{1}{4\pi}

\Delta x = 0.274 m

Part c)

As we know that

\frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2} = \frac{mv^2}{r}

also we know

mvr = \frac{nh}{2\pi}

v = \frac{h}{2\pi mr}

now we have

\frac{ke^2}{r} = \frac{mh^2}{4\pi^2m^2 r^2}

r = \frac{h^2}{4\pi^2mke^2}

r = 2.8 \times 10^{11} m
