You read in a science magazine that on the Moon, the speed of a shell leaving the barrel of a modern tank is enough to put the s

hell in a circular orbit above the surface of the Moon (there is no atmosphere to slow the shell).What should be the speed for this to happen? Assume that the radius of the Moon is rM = 1.74×10^6m, and the mass of the Moon is mM = 7.35×10^22kg.

To solve this problem we will use the definition of the kinematic equations of centrifugal motion, using the constants of the gravitational acceleration of the moon and the radius of this star.

Centrifugal acceleration is determined by

a_c = \frac{v^2}{r}

Where,

v = Velocity

r = Radius

From the given data of the moon we know that gravity there is equivalent to

a = 1.62m/s

While the radius of the moon is given by

r = 1.74*10^6m

If we rearrange the function to find the speed we will have to

v = \sqrt{ar}

v = \sqrt{1.6(1.74*10^6)}

v = 1.7km/s

The speed for this to happen is 1.7km/s

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

Saturn's differential rotation will cause the length of a day measures to be longer by 0.4 hours

Explanation:

Differential rotation occurs due to the difference in angular velocities of an object as we move along the latitude of the or as we move into different depth of the object, indicating the observed object is in a fluid form

Saturn made almost completely of gas and has differential motion given as follows

Rotation at the equator = 10 hours 14 minutes

Rotation at high altitude = 10 hours 38 minutes

Therefore;

The differential rotation = 10 hours 38 minutes - 10 hours 14 minutes

The differential rotation = 24 minutes = 24 minutes × 1 hour/(60 minutes) = 0.4 hours

The differential rotation = 0.4 hours

Therefore, the measured day at the higher altitude will be 0.4 longer than at the equator.

a skier is gliding along 3.0 m/s on horizontal, frictionless snow. he suddenly starts down a 10 degrees incline. his speed at th
Elza [17]
... find length
(way 1) determine acceleration using force
only force act on skier is mg vertically. spilt vector we get force along the incline = mgsin(10) and f= ma so
ma = mgsin(10) or a = gsin(10)
a (along the incline)= gsin(10) = 10sin(10) = 1.74
v^2 = u^2 + 2as
15^2 = 3^2 + 2(1.74)s
s = 62.06 m

(way 2) using conservation of energy
energy (KE+PE) on top = energy at bottom
0.5m3^2 + mgh = 0.5m15^2 +0
h (height of incline) = (112.5 - 4.5)/10 = 19.8 m
length of incline = h/sin(10) = 62.2 m ; trigonometry

... find time
s = (u+v)t/2
t = 2s/(u+v) = 2(62.2)/(3+15) = 6.91 s

Answer:

The answer is choice (3)

Explanation: Land materials do require more energy than water to raise their temperature by one degree, hence why water gets heated a lot easier than something like wood.
