Astronomers observe two separate solar systems each consisting of a planet orbiting a sun. The two orbits are circular and have

the same radius R. It is determined that the planets have angular momenta of the same magnitude L about their suns, and that the orbital periods are in the ratio of three to one; i.e., T1 = 3T2. The ratio m1/m2 of the masses of the two planets is

Answer:

(D) 3

Explanation:

The angular momentum is given by:

\vec{L}=\vec{r}\ X \ \vec{p}

Thus, the magnitude of the angular momenta of both solar systems are given by:

L_1=Rm_1v_1=Rm_1(\omega R)=R^2m_1(\frac{2\pi}{T_1})=2\pi R^2\frac{m_1}{T_1}\\\\L_2=Rm_2v_2=2\pi R^2\frac{m_2}{T_2}

where we have taken that both systems has the same radius.

By taking into account that T1=3T2, we have

L_1=2\pi R^2\frac{m_1}{3T_2}=\frac{1}{3}2\pi R^2\frac{1}{T_2}m_1=\frac{1}{3}\frac{L_2}{m_2}m_1

but L1=L2=L:

L=\frac{1}{3}L\frac{m_1}{m_2}\\\\\frac{m_1}{m_2}=3

Hence, the answer is (D) 3

A basketball player jumps straight up for a ball. To do this, he lowers his body 0.310 m and then accelerates through this dista
Nastasia [14]

Answer:A)u =4.295m/s  , B)a = 29.746m/s²   C) F=3,153N

Explanation:

Using the kinematic expression  

v² = u² - 2as

where

u = initial velocity

v = final velocity

s = distance

g = acceleration due to gravity .

Given that he reaches a height of 0.940 m above the floor,

the final velocity  = 0

Here, acceleration due to gravity is acting in  opposite the initial direction of motion. So, a=-9.81 m/s.

v² = u² + 2as

0² - u² = 2 (- 9.81) × 0.940

- u² = 2 × - 9.81 × 0.920

- u² = -18.4428

cancelling the minus in both sides , we have that  

u² = 18.4428

u = √18.4428

u =4.295m/s

(b) His acceleration (in m/s2) while he is straightening his legs. He goes from zero to the velocity found in part (a) in a distance of 0.310 m. m/s2

Using v² = u² + 2as

where u = initial speed of basketball player before lengthening = 0 m/s,

v = final speed of basketball player after lengthening =  4.295m/s,

a = acceleration while  straightening his legs

s = distance moved during lengthening = 0.310m

v² = u² + 2as  

 a = (v² - u²)/2s

a = (4.29m/s)² - (0 m/s)²)/(2 × 0.310m)

a = (18.4428 m²/s² - 0 m²/s²)/(0.62 m)

a = (18.4428 m²/s²/(0.62 m)

a = 29.746m/s²

c) The force (in N) he exerts on the floor to do this, given that his mass is 106 kg. N

Force= mass x acceleration.

F = 106 kg X 29.746m/s²

 F = 3,153.076 rounded to  3,153N

A pendulum clock gives correct time at 20°c how many sec/day will it gain or loose when the temperature fall to 5°c? cofficient
rewona [7]

Answer:

129.6 seconds

Explanation:

Given that :

α = 0.0002°c-1​

θ1 = 20°C

θ2 = 5°C

Time t = one day ; Converting to seconds ; number of seconds in a day ; (24 * 60 * 60) = 86400 seconds

Let dT= change in time

Using the relation :

dT = 0.5* α * dθ * t

dθ = (20 - 5) = 15°C

dT = 0.5 * 0.0002 * 15 * 86400

dT = 129.6 seconds

imagine that you are on a spaceship that is far from the sun or any planet. Explain why a 500 kg piece of equipment would be dif
Mila [183]

Even though the object is weightless, it would need inertia, I.e, you pushing it or any form of transportation. So you would still have to push that 500kg to just keep it moving in space. Say if it were a planet with less gravitational force, it would be weightless.
