Twin brothers, Andy and Brian, can mow their grandparents lawn together in 1212 minutes. Brian would mow the lawn by himself

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

It will take Andy 1.198minutes to mow the lawn and it will take Brian 1,209.98minutes to mow the same lawn.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the simultaneous equation concept, let A denote Andy and B be Brian

Andy and Brian can mow the lawn for 1212minutes i.e A+B = 1212..eqn 1

If Brian would mow the lawn by himself in 1010 minutes more than it would take Andy, this means B=1010A...eqn 2.

Substituting eqn 2 into eqn 1

Equation 1 becomes

A+1010A=1212

1011A=1212

A=1212/1011

A=1.198

B = 1010×1.198

B=1,209.98

Therefore, It will take Andy 1.198minutes to mow the lawn and it will take Brian 1,209.98minutes to mow the same lawn.

A satellite is in a circular orbit about the earth (ME = 5.98 x 10^24 kg). The period of the satellite is 1.26 x 10^4 s. What is

Soloha48 [4]

Answer: $V=5839.051m/s$

Explanation:

According to the <u>Third Kepler’s Law</u> of Planetary motion:

$T^{2}=\frac{4\pi^{2}}{GM}a^{3}$ (1)

Where;:

$T=1.26(10)^{4}s$ is the period of the satellite

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

$M=5.98(10)^{24}kg$ is the mass of the Earth

$a$ is the semimajor axis of the orbit the satllite describes around the Earth (as we know it is a circular orbit, the semimajor axis is equal to the radius of the orbit).

On the other hand, the orbital velocity $V$ is given by:

$V=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{a}}$ (2)

Now, from (1) we can find $a$ , in order to substitute this value in (2):

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

$a=\sqrt[3]{\frac{(1.26(10)^{4}s)^{2}(6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}})(5.98(10)^{24}kg)}{4\pi}^{2}}$ (4)

$a=11705845.57m$ (5)

Substituting (5) in (2):

$V=\sqrt{\frac{(6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}})(5.98(10)^{24}kg)}{11705845.57m}}$ (6)

$V=5839.051m/s$ (7) This is the speed at which the satellite travels

True or false. The Ohm's Law equation includes calculations using volts, current, and couloms.

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:false

Explanation:

Ohms law:

Potential difference (volts)=current(ampere)×resistance(ohms)

Coulombs is a unit for quantity of Charges and it is not in ohms law
