Answer:

By observing the time between transits, we know the orbital period. Kepler's Third law can be used to determine the orbital radius of the planet if the mass of the orbiting star is known (R3=T2−Mstar/Msun, the radius is in AU and the period is in earth years).

A bus hits a bug and the bug splatters on the windshield, which force is greater?

grandymaker [24]

The forces acting on a body and the type of motion that results are given by Newton's three Laws of motion

The force of the bus is the same as reactive force of the bug

Reason:

According to Newton's third Law of motion, given that the bug collides

with the bus, the force with which the bus hits the bug is equal to the

reactive force of the bug on the on the bus

According to Newton's second Law of motion, force is equal to the rate of

change of the momentum produced

The impulse of the force of the bus on the bug is given as follows;

F·Δt = m·(v₂ - v₁)

Given that the force of the bus is large, the change in momentum, m·(v₂ - v₁),

is also large such that the parts of the bug are split by the rapid change in

velocity, and the bug splatters on the windshield, and is then carried along

on the trip,

The equally large reactive force of the bug, is such that the bug splatters

due its magnitude

Therefore, the correct response is that the forces are the same

You're driving a vehicle of mass 1350 kg and you need to make a turn on a flat road. The radius of curvature of the turn is 71 m

sergey [27]

Answer:

$v=12.65\ m.s^{-1}$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of vehicle, $m=1350\ kg$

radius of curvature, $r=71\ m$

coefficient of friction, $\mu=0.23$

During the turn to prevent the skidding of the vehicle its centripetal force must be equal to the opposite balancing frictional force:

$m.\frac{v^2}{r} =\mu.N$

where:

$\mu=$ coefficient of friction

$N=$ normal reaction force due to weight of the car

$v=$ velocity of the car

$1350\times \frac{v^2}{71} =0.23\times (1350\times 9.8)$

$v=12.65\ m.s^{-1}$ is the maximum velocity at which the vehicle can turn without skidding.

How does friction make it possible for you to walk across the floor?

Tema [17]

if we are walking on a perfectly smooth ground which has no friction our force would simply cancel out the force reverted by the ground and we would fall.

We need it to help push out feet off the ground

Hope those helps :)

The engine in your car is sometimes called: A. A 2-stroke engine

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:A

Explanation:

Engines in car are 4 stroke engine . A 4-stroke engine is internal combustion engine which derives its power by four piston strokes . Internal combustion means combustion takes inside the engine i.e. is in cylinder.

There are process in 4 stroke engine

Intake: Intake of air
Compression:compression of intake air to a high pressure
Combustion:Fuel is injected and burned to get power
Exhaust:removal of exhaust gases after combustion

1. An asphalt block has a mass of 90 kg and a volume of 0.075 m. Determines the density of the asphalt.

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

1. Density = 1200[kg/m^3]; 2. Volume= 0.005775[m^3], mass= 15.59[kg]

Explanation:

1. We know that the density is defined by the following expression.

$Density = \frac{mass}{volume} \\where:\\mass=90[kg]\\volume=0.075[m^{3} ]\\density=\frac{90}{0.075} \\density=1200[\frac{kg}{m^{3} }]$

2. First we need to convert the units to meters.

wide = 35[cm] = 35/100 = 0.35[m]

long = 11 [dm] = 11 decimeters = 11/10 = 1.1[m]

Thick = 15[mm] = 15/1000 = 0.015[m]

Now we can find the density using the expression for the density.

$density= \frac{mass}{volume} \\where:\\volume = wide*long*thick\\volume=0.35*1.1*0.015 = 0.005775[m^3]\\\\mass= density*volume = 2700*0.005775 = 15.59[kg]$
