Starting from Newton’s law of universal gravitation, show how to find the speed of the moon in its orbit from the earth-moon dis

WARRIOR [948]

Answer: 1010.92 m/s

Explanation:

According to Newton's law of universal gravitation:

$F=G\frac{Mm}{r^{2}}$ (1)

Where:

$F$ is the gravitational force between Earth and Moon

$G=6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}$ is the Gravitational Constant

$M=5.972(10)^{24} kg$ is the mass of the Earth

$m=7.349(10)^{22} kg$ is the mass of the Moon

$r=3.9(10)^{8} m$ is the distance between the Earth and Moon

Asuming the orbit of the Moon around the Earth is a circular orbit, the Earth exerts a centripetal force on the moon, which is equal to $F$ :

$F=m.a_{C}$ (2)

Where $a_{C}$ is the centripetal acceleration given by:

$a_{C}=\frac{V^{2}}{r}$ (3)

Being $V$ the orbital velocity of the moon

Making (1)=(2):

$m.a_{C}=G\frac{Mm}{r^{2}}$ (4)

Simplifying:

$a_{C}=G\frac{M}{r^{2}}$ (5)

Making (5)=(3):

$\frac{V^{2}}{r}=G\frac{M}{r^{2}}$ (6)

Finding $V$ :

$V=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}$ (7)

$V=\sqrt{\frac{(6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}})(5.972(10)^{24} kg)}{3.9(10)^{8} m}}$ (8)

Finally:

$V=1010.92 m/s$

Velocity can best be described by which of the following statements?

pogonyaev

Answer: Velocity can best be described as, the speed in a given direction.

Explanation: To find the answer, we need to know more about the Velocity of a body.

<h3>What is Velocity of a body?</h3>

Velocity is the rate of change of displacement.
It's a vector quantity and is measured in m/s.
It can be positive, negative or zero.
A body is said to be in uniform motion, then its velocity remains constant.
Change in velocity can be a change in speed.
The magnitude of velocity is less than or equal to speed.

Thus, we can conclude that, the option C is best describing velocity.

A note of frequency 200Hz has a velocity of 400m/s. what is the wavelength of the note

Xelga [282]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\sf \lambda = 2 m}$

Explanation:

<h3><u>Given data:</u></h3>

Frequency = f = 200 Hz

Velocity = v = 400 m/s

<h3><u>Required:</u></h3>

Wavelength = λ = ?

<h3><u>Formula:</u></h3>

v = fλ

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Put the givens in the formula

400 = (200)λ

Divide 200 to both sides

400/200 = λ

2 m = λ

λ = 2 m
