A 500kg car is driven forward with a thrust force of 1500N. Air resistance and friction acts against the motion of the car with
Wittaler [7]
2m/s^2, this is because F=ma, meaning a is also equal to F/m. The car applies 1500N in one direction and outside sources apply a total of -500N, meaning the 500kg car is moving forward with a total of 1000N of force. Taking the total 1000N and dividing it by 500kg gives you and acceleration of 2m/s^2. Hope this helps!

The frequency of violet light is 7.5x10 to the 14th power hertz. What is the wavelength?
Verizon [17]
Wavelength times frequency = speed of light
7.5E14 x wavelength = 300,000 m/s

Wavelength in meters = 300,000 divided by 7.5E14

What is the orbital period of a spacecraft in a low orbit near the surface of mars? The radius of mars is 3.4×106m.
valkas [14]
<h2>Answer: 56.718 min</h2>

Explanation:

According to the Third Kepler’s Law of Planetary motion<em> </em><em>“The square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis (size) of its orbit”. </em>

In other words, this law states a relation between the orbital period T of a body (moon, planet, satellite) orbiting a greater body in space with the size a of its orbit.

This Law is originally expressed as follows:

T^{2}=\frac{4\pi^{2}}{GM}a^{3}   (1)

Where;

G is the Gravitational Constant and its value is 6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}

M=6.39(10)^{23}kg is the mass of Mars

a=3.4(10)^{6}m  is the semimajor axis of the orbit the spacecraft describes around Mars (assuming it is a <u>circular orbit </u>and a <u>low orbit near the surface </u>as well, the semimajor axis is equal to the radius of the orbit)

If we want to find the period, we have to express equation (1) as written below and substitute all the values:

T=\sqrt{\frac{4\pi^{2}}{GM}a^{3}}    (2)

T=\sqrt{\frac{4\pi^{2}}{(6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}})(6.39(10)^{23}kg)}(3.4(10)^{6}m)^{3}}    (3)

T=\sqrt{11581157.44 s^{2}}    (4)

Finally:

T=3403.1099s=56.718min    This is the orbital period of a spacecraft in a low orbit near the surface of mars
