Physics

Answer:

The correct answer is B

Explanation:

The reason is because Io orbits Jupiter on an elliptical orbit as a result of orbital resonances with other satellites.

The orbit resonances is a phenomena whereby one objects orbit period is a simple ratio of another object's period such as 1/2, 5/3, etc. What really happened is that during this period, the two objects line up to each other and the extra-gravitational pull will influence their orbits, and causes tidal friction which is then the source of the tremendous internal heating.

What is the resistance of a 3.5 m copper wire (Rho= 1.7x10-8 Ohm·m) that 1 point

VikaD [51]

Answer:

(D)

Explanation:

Given :

l=3.5 m

$A=5.26*10^{-6}$ $m^{2}$

$p=1.7*10^{-8} ohm.m$

Resistance can be calculated as :

$R=p\frac{l}{A} \\R=1.7*10^{-8} \frac{3.5}{5.26*10^{-6} }$

$R=\frac{5.95*10^{-2} }{5.26} \\R=1.13*10^{-2}$

Resistance of the wire will be 1.1× $10^{-2}$ ohms

Option D is correct

You attach a 2.90 kg mass to a horizontal spring that is fixed at one end. You pull the mass until the spring is stretched by 0.

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Explanation:

The spring is stretched by .5 m and then released that means its amplitude of oscillation A is 0.5 m .

A = 0.5 m

After the release at one extreme point , the mass comes to rest again at another extreme point after half the time period ie

T / 2 = .3 s

T = 0.6 s

Angular velocity

ω = $\frac{2\times \pi}{T}$

ω = $\frac{2\times \pi}{0.6}$

ω = 10.45

Maximum velocity = ω A

ω and A are angular velocity and amplitude of oscillation.

Maximum velocity = 10.45 x .5

= 5.23 m /s

On a farm, you are pushing on a stubborn pig with a constant horizontal force with magnitude 30.0 n and direction 37.0° counterc

sashaice [31]

<span>Since the force is applied at an angle from the horizontal, we will use the horizontal component of this force in calculating for the displacements.
From derivation, the Fx is:</span>

Fx = F cos φ

Where:

Fx = is the horizontal component of the force

F = total force

φ = angle in radian = 37 * pi / 180 = 0.645 rad

Calculating: Fx = 30.0 N * cos(0.645)

Fx = 23.97 N = 24 N

Calculating for Work: W = Fx * d

A. W = 24 N * 15 m = 360 N

B. W = 24 N * 16 m = 384 N

C. W = 24 N * 12 m = 288 N

D. W = 24 N * 14 m = 336 N
