Answer:

The car that went 54 km in 2/3h was faster, 5/4 times faster than the other car

Explanation:

Average speed of a car is the ratio between the displacement $\Delta x$ and the time (t) it takes to do that displacement:

$V_{avg}=\frac{\Delta x}{t}$

So, for the first car:

$V_{avg1}=\frac{60km}{\frac{5h}{6}} =72\frac{km}{h}$ (1)

for the second car we have:

$V_{avg2}=\frac{60km}{\frac{2h}{3}} =90\frac{km}{h}$ (2)

So, the second cart is faster than the first one. To find how many times divide speed 2 by speed 1:

$\frac{90}{72}=\frac{5}{4}$

A moon orbits a planet every 42 hours with a mean orbital radius of .002819 AU. The mass of the moon is 8.932 x 1022 kg. Using N

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

The mass of the planet is $1.9407\times10^{27}\ kg$

Explanation:

Given that,

Time period = 42 hours = 151200 sec

Orbital radius = 0.002819 AU = 421716397.5 m

Mass of moon $m=8.932\times10^{22}\ kg$

We need to calculate the mass of the planet

Using Kepler’s third law

$T^2\propto a^3$

$T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{G(M+m)}\times a^3$

Where, a = orbital radius

T = time period

G = gravitational constant

M = mass of moon

m = mass of planet

Put the value into the formula

$(151200)^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{6.673\times10^{-11}(8.932\times10^{22}+m)}\times(421716397.5)^3$

$(8.932\times10^{22}+m)=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{6.673\times10^{-11}}\times\dfrac{(421716397.5)^3}{(151200)^2}$

$(8.932\times10^{22}+m)=1.94087\times10^{27}$

$m=1.94087\times10^{27}-8.932\times10^{22}$

$m=1.9407\times10^{27}\ kg$

Hence, The mass of the planet is $1.9407\times10^{27}\ kg$

A meter stick balances horizontally on a knife-edge at the 50.0 cm mark. With two 5.12 g coins stacked over the 24.2 cm mark, th

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

The mass of the meter stick is $1.66054054054g$

Explanation:

Here since the meter stick is in equilibrium position its net torque and net force should be equal to zero

Since at the begging the meter stick is balanced at center of the meter stick that means its center of mass should be present at $50.0cm$

Now lets consider the later case where stick is balanced by two 5.12 g coins .

Here torque due to two coins = $t_{c} = 5.12\times(27.8-24.2)\times2\times9.8$

Torque due to weight of meter stick = $t_{m}$ = $m\times(50-27.8)\times9.8$

where m = mass of the meter stick

Here $t_{c} = t_{m}$ .

Upon equating we will be getting mass of the meter stick = $1.66054054054g$

g100num [7]

Based on Einstein's theory of gravity, if the sun and its mass were to suddenly disappear, earth would stay in its current orbit for a few minutes before taking off into space.

<h3>What would occur to our world if the sun were to suddenly vanish?</h3>

The Earth would be drawn to a new center of gravity if the sun disappeared. Earth's gravity would change, as would that of the rest of the solar system, and Earth would begin to drift into space since there would no longer be a steady source of energy from the sun. It is a foolish dream to think that life could exist without the sun forever. Humans could be able to survive for a while in some sort of base, such as a nuclear-powered dome.

The good news is that there wouldn't be many living things for the radioactive waste to endanger; however, there also probably wouldn't be any liquid water to cool the power system. All photosynthetic species, including plants and algae, would die if just the sun's light persisted.
