Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration = acceleration due to gravity

v² / r = GM / r²

Solving for velocity:

v = √(GM / r)

Given:

G = 6.67×10⁻¹¹ m³/kg/s²

M = 5.97×10²⁴ kg

r = 6.38×10⁸ m + 1.44×10⁹ m = 2.078×10⁹ m

v = √(6.67×10⁻¹¹ × 5.97×10²⁴ / 2.078×10⁹)

v = 438 m/s

Period is the time to travel one circumference:

T = 2πr / v

T = 2π (2.078×10⁹) / 438

T = 2.98×10⁷ s

T = 8290 hr

T = 345 days

a body of mass 0.2kg is whirled round a horizontal circle by a string inclined at 30 degrees to the vertical calculate <br /&
Katen [24]

Answer:

a)  T = 2.26 N, b) v = 1.68 m / s

Explanation:

We use Newton's second law

Let's set a reference system where the x-axis is radial and the y-axis is vertical, let's decompose the tension of the string

        sin 30 = \frac{T_x}{T}

        cos 30 = \frac{T_y}{T}

        Tₓ = T sin 30

        T_y = T cos 30

Y axis  

       T_y -W = 0

       T cos 30 = mg                     (1)

X axis

        Tₓ = m a

they relate it is centripetal

        a = v² / r

we substitute

         T sin 30 = m\frac{v^2}{r}            (2)

a) we substitute in 1

         T = \frac{mg }{cos 30}

         T = \frac{ 0.2 \ 9.8}{cos  \ 30}

         T = 2.26 N

b) from equation 2

           v² = \frac{T \ sin 30 \ r}{m}

If we know the length of the string

          sin 30 = r / L

          r = L sin 30

we substitute

          v² = \frac{ T \ sin 30 \ L \ sin 30}{m}

          v² = \frac{TL \ sin^2  30}{m}

For the problem let us take L = 1 m

let's calculate

          v = \sqrt{ \frac{2.26 \ 1 \ sin^230}{0.2} }

          v = 1.68 m / s

Two identical speakers are emitting a constant tone that has a wavelength of 0.50 m. Speaker A is located to the left of speaker
Marianna [84]

Answer:

a) and c).

Explanation:

For a complete destructive interference occur, it must be met the following condition relating the wavelength, and the difference in the paths taken by the sound emitted by the sources until arriving to the listening point:

d = |dA- dB| = (2n-1)*(λ/2)

For n= 1,  d = λ/2 = 0.25 m, it doesn't meet any of the cases.

For n=2, d= 3*(λ/2) = 0.75 m

In the case a) we have dA = 2.15 m and dB = 3.00 m, so dB-dA = 0.75 m, which means that in the location stated by case a) a complete destructive interference would occur.

For n=3, d= 5*(λ/2) = 5*0.25 m = 1.25 m.

This is just the case c) because we have dA = 3.75 m and dB = 2.50 m, so dA-dB = 1.25 m, which means that in the location stated by case c) a complete destructive interference would occur also.

The remaining cases don't meet the condition stated above, so the statements found to be true are a) and c),

dado los vectores a=3.5 b=4 c=6.5 , si se sabe que a+b+c=0 (resultante) cual es el angulo formado por A y B?
lawyer [7]

cos(A) = (b2 + c2 − a2) / 2bc = (16+6.5^2-3.5^2)/(2*4*6.5) = 0.88461538  so A = cos−1 (0.88461538) = 27.79 Deg cos(B) = (c2 + a2 − b2)/2ca = (3.5^2+6.5^2-16)/(2*3.5*6.5) = 0.84615385  so B = cos−1 (0.84615385) = 32.2 Deg
