Answer:

a. A baseball after it has been hit - not in free fall

b. A rock that is thrown in the air - not in free fall

c. The moon - free-fall

d. A paper airplane - not in free fall

e. A bird flying - not in free fall

Explanation:

The free-fall is defined as the falling of an object due to the action of gravity. The object is not experiencing any other force neglecting the air resistance.
If an object is in free-fall, the direction of its motion is directed towards the center of the earth. It does not have a horizontal component of velocity.
If the body is under free-fall, but a centripetal force acts on it where it is equal to the gravitational force at that point. The object will have two components of velocity along the tangential line, perpendicular to the radius of the orbit.

a. A baseball after it has been hit - not in free fall according to point 1 & 2.

b. A rock that is thrown in the air - not in free fall according to point 1.

c. The moon - free-fall according to point 3.

d. A paper airplane - not in free fall according to point 1 & 2.

e. A bird flying - not in free fall according to point 1 & 2.

Asteroid Ida was photographed by the Galileo spacecraft in 1993, and the photograph revealed that the asteroid has a small moon,

Nady [450]

Answer:

The orbital speed of Dactyl is $5.55m/s$

Explanation:

The orbital speed can be determined by the combination of the universal law of gravity and Newton's second law:

$F = G\frac{M \cdot m}{r^{2}}$ (1)

Where G is gravitational constant, M is the mass of the asteroid, m is the mass of the moon and r is the distance between them

In the other hand, Newton's second law can be defined as:

$F = ma$ (2)

Where m is the mass and a is the acceleration

Then, equation 2 can be replaced in equation 1

$m\cdot a = G\frac{M \cdot m}{r^{2}}$ (2)

However, a will be the centripetal acceleration since the moon Dactyl describe a circular motion around the asteroid

$a = \frac{v^{2}}{r}$ (3)

$m\frac{v^{2}}{r} = G\frac{M \cdot m}{r^{2}}$ (4)

Therefore, v can be isolated from equation 4:

$m \cdot v^{2} = G \frac{M \cdot m}{r^{2}}r$

$m \cdot v^{2} = G \frac{M \cdot m}{r}$

$v^{2} = G \frac{M \cdot m}{rm}$

$v^{2} = G \frac{M}{r}$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{G M}{r}}$ (5)

Finally, the orbital speed can be found from equation 5:

Notice, that it is necessary to express r in units of meters.

$r = 95km \cdot \frac{1000m}{1km}$ ⇒ $95000m$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{(6.672x10^{-11}N.m^{2}/kg^{2})(4.4x10^{16}kg)}{95000m}}$

$v = 5.55m/s$

Hence, the orbital speed of Dactyl is $5.55m/s$

A current exists whenever electric charges move. If ΔQ is the net charge that passes through a surface during a time period Δt,

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

It represents the change in charge Q from time t = a to t = b

Explanation:

As given in the question the current is defined as the derivative of charge.

I(t) = dQ(t)/dt ..... (i)

But if we take the inegral of the equation (i) for the time interval from t=a to

t =b we get

Q =∫_a^b▒〖I(t) 〗 dt

which shows the change in charge Q from time t = a to t = b. Form here we can say that, change in charge is defiend as the integral of current for specific interval of time.
