Calculate the orbital period for Jupiter's moon Io, which orbits 4.22×10^5km from the planet's center (M=1.9×10^27kg) .

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



<h2>T^{2} =\frac{4\pi^{2}}{GM}a^{3}    (1) </h2>

Where;


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



M=1.9(10^{27})kg is the mass of Jupiter


a=4.22(10^{5})km=4.22(10^{8})m  is the semimajor axis of the orbit Io describes around Jupiter (assuming it is a circular orbit, 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:



<h2>T=\sqrt{\frac{4\pi^{2}}{GM}a^{3}}    (2) </h2>

T=\sqrt{\frac{4\pi^{2}}{6.674(10^{-11})\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}1.9(10^{27})kg}(4.22(10^{8})m)^{3}}    



T=\sqrt{\frac{2.966(10^{27})m^{3}}{1.268(10^{17})m^{3}/s^{2}}}    



T=\sqrt{2.339(10^{10})s^{2}}    



Then:


<h2>T=152938.0934s    (3) </h2>

Which is the same as:



<h2>T=42.482h     </h2>

Therefore, the answer is:



The orbital period of Io is 42.482 h

I'm writing a story about Granny using old-fashioned laundry bluing to freshen dingy yellow clothes. I would like to explain WHY
Katena32 [7]

By combining blue with yellow light is like combining blue light with red and green light. The result of combining these three primary colors of light is to produce white light.

<h3>What is laundry bluing ?</h3>

Laundry bluing is a product adds a trace amount of blue dye to white fabric during laundering to improve its appearance.

Bluing products in higher concentrations can darken jeans and other blue cloth.

The blue overpowered the yellow to reflect white (at least the appearance of white to the human eye).

Blue and yellow are complementary colors that combine to reflect white, Fabrics.

Here,

Yellow light is a combination of red and green light. So combining blue with yellow light is like combining blue light with red and green light. The result of combining these three primary colors of light is to produce white light.

How far will a free falling object fall in 8.7 secs if it started from rest? Remember acceleration is negative for free fall. Do
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

h~=371.26m

Explanation:

when an object falls we use the equations of accelerated motion. There is only one that gives distance.

x = ut +  \frac{1}{2} a {t}^{2}

Since we have no initial velocity (started from rest) we can get rid of the (ut) term

where a we substitute g (gravitational acceleration, constant for given heights and almost 9.81m/s^2).

h =  \frac{1}{2} g {t}^{2}  =  \frac{1}{2}  \times 9.81 \times  {8.7}^{2}  = 371.26m

Find the final temperature of 375 grams of tea (c = 4.184 J/g°C) if its initial temperature is 95°C just before it is placed in
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

the final temperature of the tea is 7.39⁰C.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the tea, m = 375 g

specific heat capacity of the tea, C = 4.184 JJ/g°C

initial temperature of the tea, t₁ = 95°C

the final temperature of the tea, t₂ = ?

Energy lost by the refrigerator, Q = 137,460 J

The energy lost by the refrigerator is given by the following formula;

-Q = mc(t₂ - t₁)

-137,460 =375 x 4.184(t₂ - 95°C)

-137,460 = 1569(t₂ - 95°C)

t_2-95 = \frac{-137,460}{1569} \\\\t_2-95 = -87.61\\\\t_2 = -87.61 + 95\\\\t_2 = 7.39 \ ^0 C

Therefore, the final temperature of the tea is 7.39⁰C.

provides one model for solving this problem. The maximum strength of the earth's magnetic field is about 6.9 x 10-5 T near the s
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

The minimum no. of turns is 3.126 \times 10^{5}

Explanation:

Given:

Magnetic field B = 6.9 \times 10^{-5} T

Frequency f = 84.5 Hz

Area of turn A = 0.021 m^{2}

Voltage V_{rms}  = 170 V

From the formula of induced emf,

V = NBA \omega

Where \omega = 2\pi f and V = \sqrt{2} V_{rms}

So number of turn is,

N = \frac{\sqrt{2} V_{rms} }{AB2\pi f }

N = \frac{\sqrt{2} \times 170 }{0.021 \times 6.9 \times 10^{-5} \times 6.28 \times 84.5 }

N = 3.126 \times 10^{5}

Therefore, the minimum no. of turns is 3.126 \times 10^{5}
