To find the ratio of planetary speeds Va/Vb we need the orbital velocity formula:
V=√({G*M}/R), where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the distant star and R is the distance of the planet from the star it is orbiting.
So Va/Vb=[√( {G*M}/Ra) ] / [√( {G*M}/Rb) ], in our case Ra = 7.8*Rb
Va/Vb=[ √( {G*M}/{7.8*Rb} ) ] / [√( {G*M}/Rb )], we put everything under one square root by the rule: (√a) / (√b) = √(a/b)
Va/Vb=√ [ { (G*M)/(7.8*Rb) } / { (G*M)/(Rb) } ], when we cancel out G, M and Rb we get:
Va/Vb=√(1/7.8)/(1/1)=√(1/7.8)=0.358 so the ratio of Va/Vb = 0.358.
Answer:
Final velocity will be equal to 14 m/sec
Explanation:
We have given initial velocity u = 5 m/sec
Constant acceleration is given ![a=1.5m/sec^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=a%3D1.5m%2Fsec%5E2)
Time t = 6 sec
We have to find the final velocity
From first equation of motion
, here v is final velocity, u is initial velocity , a is acceleration and t is time
So ![v=5+1.5\times 6=14m/sec](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=v%3D5%2B1.5%5Ctimes%206%3D14m%2Fsec)
So equal final velocity will be equal to 14 m/sec
