Calculate the angular velocity of the neptune (orbital period of 165 earth period) in its orbit around the sun.
ludmilkaskok [199]
The correct answer is: Angular velocity =  1.208 * 10^{-9} rad/s

Explanation:
The angular velocity is given as:
ω = \frac{2\pi}{T} --- (1)

Where T = 165 * (365 days) * (24 hours/day) * (60 minutes/hour) * (60 seconds/minute) = 5203440000 s

Plug in the value in (1):
ω = \frac{2\pi}{5203440000} = 1.208 * 10^{-9} rad/s

Why to astronauts appear weightless while they are filmed performing activities inside the orbiting space shuttle?
vagabundo [1.1K]
<h2>Answer: The astronauts are falling at the same rate as the space shuttle as it orbits around earth</h2>

The astronauts seem to float because they are in free fall just like the spacecraft.

However, although they are constantly falling on the Earth, they do not fall because the ship orbits at a sufficient speed (in the same direction of rotation of the Earth) so that the centrifugal force is balanced with the Earth's gravitational pull.

In other words:

The spaccraft and the astronauts are in free fall but the Earth's surface will never be reached as long as they does not decrease the speed.

Then, as they accelerate toward Earth (regardless of their mass), it curves beneath them and never comes close.

That's why astronauts, having the same acceleration as the spacecraft, feel weightless and see themselves floating.

A 20 μF capacitor initially charged to 30 μC is discharged through a 1.5 kΩ resistor. Part A How long does it take to reduce the
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

it will take 36.12 ms to reduce the capacitor's charge to 10 μC

Explanation:

Qi= C×V

then:

Vi = Q/C = 30μ/20μ = 1.5 volts

and:

Vf = Q/C = 10μ/20μ = 0.5 volts

then:

v = v₀e^(–t/τ)  

v₀ is the initial voltage on the cap  

v is the voltage after time t  

R is resistance in ohms,  

C is capacitance in farads  

t is time in seconds  

RC = τ = time constant  

τ = 20µ x 1.5k = 30 ms  

v = v₀e^(t/τ)  

0.5 = 1.5e^(t/30ms)  

e^(t/30ms) = 10/3  

t/30ms = 1.20397

t = (30ms)(1.20397) = 36.12 ms

Therefore, it will take 36.12 ms to reduce the capacitor's charge to 10 μC.

How does wood and plastic relate to forces
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

There are six kinds of forces that act on objects when they come into contact with one another: Normal force, applied force, frictional force, tension force, spring force and resisting force. These forces make objects change their motion or movement , the act of going from one place to another.
