"The gravity of the Sun causes the planets to move in a circular path."

Physics
1 answer:
lana66690 [7]3 years ago

You're thinking of Kepler's first law of planetary motion, but that's not
what it says.

First of all, Kepler didn't say anything about gravity.  He only described
the orbits.  And he said that the orbit of each planet is an <u>ellipse</u>, with the
sun at one focus.

If by some chance you're thinking of Newton ... he showed that <u>if</u> his formula for
gravity is correct, then the orbit of a planet <u>must</u> be an ellipse.  But Newton's law
of gravity is not one of his so-called "three laws of motion".

A rock that has deformed ____ under stress keeps its new shape when the stress is released.
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

Elastically

Explanation:

A rock that has deformed Elastically under stress keeps its new shape when the stress is released.

In elastic deformation the original shape of the object is regained when the stress is removed. Whereas in plastic deformation the original shape is parmanently deformed with the application of stress.

A flutist assembles her flute in a room where the speed of sound is 342m/s . When she plays the note A, it is in perfect tune wi
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

a.3Hz

b.0.0034m

Explanation:

First, we know the flute is an open pipe, because open pipe as both end open and a close organ pipe as only one end close.

The formula relating the length and he frequency is giving as

f=\frac{nv}{2l}\\.

a.we first determine the length of the flute at the fundamental frequency i.e when <em>n</em>=1 and when the speed is in the 342m/s

Hence from

f=\frac{nv}{2l}\\\\l=\frac{342}{2*440}\\ l=0.389m\\.

since the value of the length will remain constant, we now use the value to determine the frequency when the air becomes hotter and the speed becomes 345m/s.

f=\frac{nv}{2l} \\f=\frac{345}{2*0.389}\\f=443.4Hz

Hence the require beat is

B=/f_{1}-f_{2}/\\B=/440-443/\\B=3Hz.

b. since the length is dependent also on the speed and frequency, we determine the new length when she plays with a fundamental frequency when the speed of sound is 345m/s

using the formula

L_{new}=\frac{v}{2f}\\\\L_{new}=\frac{345}{2*440}\\\\L_{new}=0.39204

Now to determine the extension,

L_{extend}=L_{new}-L_{old}\\L_{extend}=0.39204- 0.38864\\L_{extend}=0.0034m\\

A 4.30 g bullet moving at 943 m/s strikes a 730 g wooden block at rest on a frictionless surface. The bullet emerges, traveling
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

(a)2.7 m/s

(b) 5.52 m/s

Explanation:

The total of the system would be conserved as no external force is acting on it.

Initial momentum = final momentum

⇒(4.30 g × 943 m/s) + (730 g × 0) = (4.30 g × 484 m/s) + (730 g × v)

⇒ 730 ×v = (4054.9 - 2081.2) =1973.7

⇒v=2.7 m/s

Thus, the resulting speed of the block is 2.7 m/s.

(b) since, the momentum is conserved, the speed of the bullet-block center of mass would be constant.

V_{COM} = \frac{m_b}{m_b+m_{bl}}v_{bi}=\frac{4.30}{4.30+730}\times 943 m/s = 5.52 m/s

Thus, the speed of the bullet-block center of mass is 5.52 m/s.
