In 1610, galileo used his telescope to discover four prominent moons around jupiter. their mean orbital radii a and periods t ar

katrin2010 [14]

Time period of any moon of Jupiter is given by

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

from above formula we can say that mass of Jupiter is given by

$M = \frac{4 \pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}$

now for part a)

$r = 4.22 * 10^8 m$

T = 1.77 day = 152928 seconds

now by above formula

$M = \frac{4 \pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}$

$M = \frac{4 \pi^2 (4.22 * 10^8)^3}{(6.67 * 10^{-11})(152928)^2}$

$M = 1.9* 10^{27} kg$

Part B)

$r = 6.71 * 10^8 m$

T = 3.55 day = 306720 seconds

now by above formula

$M = \frac{4 \pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}$

$M = \frac{4 \pi^2 (6.71 * 10^8)^3}{(6.67 * 10^{-11})(306720)^2}$

$M = 1.9* 10^{27} kg$

Part c)

$r = 10.7 * 10^8 m$

T = 7.16 day = 618624 seconds

now by above formula

$M = \frac{4 \pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}$

$M = \frac{4 \pi^2 (10.7 * 10^8)^3}{(6.67 * 10^{-11})(618624)^2}$

$M = 1.89* 10^{27} kg$

PART D)

$r = 18.8 * 10^8 m$

T = 16.7 day = 1442880 seconds

now by above formula

$M = \frac{4 \pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}$

$M = \frac{4 \pi^2 (18.8 * 10^8)^3}{(6.67 * 10^{-11})(1442880)^2}$

$M = 1.889* 10^{27} kg$

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

This a pure case of conflict of interests between the interest of the shareholders who are the original owners of the company and management's interest in earning much more,even if it at the expense of the shareholders.

Explanation:

Management is the entrusted with the day to day affairs of corporations.In carrying out their duty,they must have at the back of their minds that maximization of shareholder's wealth is of top priority.

However.some management teams in a bid to gain undue advantage set their remuneration below reasonable levels.

Ultimately,when this happens, their duty to watch over the investment of shareholders clashes with their interest for personal gains.

True or false mechanical waves need a medium through which to transport energy

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:True

Explanation: The mechanical waves need a medium through which to transport energy because the perturbation travels inside of the medium so it needs molecules that connect elastically the displacement of the wave. For example the sound mainly uses the air molecules to transport the energy also the sound can be traveled in solid materials like metal rods.
