You are exploring a newly discovered planet. The radius of the planet is 7.50 × 107 m. You suspend a lead weight from the lower

end of a light string that is 4.00 m long and has mass 0.0280 kg. You measure that it takes 0.0645 s for a transverse pulse to travel from the lower end to the upper end of the string. On earth, for the same string and lead weight, it takes 0.0320 s for a transverse pulse to travel the length of the string. The weight of the string is small enough that its effect on the tension in the string can be neglected.Assuming that the mass of the planet is distributed with spherical symmetry, what is its mass?Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Answer:

M_{m}=2.31x10^{25} kg

Explanation:

The distance is the same in the experiment and using the differents times can find the velocities so

v_{1}=\frac{x}{t_{1}}=\frac{4m}{0.0645s}

v_{1}=62.01\frac{m}{s}

v_{2}=\frac{x}{t_{2}}=\frac{4m}{0.0320s}

v_{1}=125\frac{m}{s}

Now the experiment can use the equations of tension in simple pendulum

v=\sqrt{\frac{T*L}{m} }

T=\frac{v^2*m}{L}

T_{1}=\frac{v_{1}^2*0.0280kg}{4m}

T_{1}=\frac{62.01^2*0.0280kg}{4m}

T_{1}=26.91N

T_{2}=\frac{v_{2}^2*0.0280kg}{4m}

T_{12}=\frac{125^2*0.0280kg}{4m}

T_{2}=109.375 N

Now to determinate the mass using the formula of force of gravity

F_{g}=\frac{G*M_{m}}{r^2}

G=6.67x10^{-11} \frac{N*M^2}{kg^2}

Solve to Mm

M_{m}=\frac{F_{g}*r^2}{G}

M_{m}=\frac{\frac{T_{1}}{T_{2}}*(7.50x10^7m)^2}{6.67x10^{-11}\frac{N*m^2}{kg^2} }

M_{m}=\frac{0.273N*5.625x10^15m^2}{6.67x10^{-11}\frac{N*m^2}{kg^2}}

M_{m}=2.31x10^{25} kg

Describe the energy change in the particles of a substance during melting. A) The kinetic energy of the particles remains unchan
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

As ice melts into water, kinetic energy is being added to the particles. This causes them to be 'excited' and they break the bonds that hold them together as a solid, resulting in a change of state: solid -> liquid.

Explanation:

As we may know, the change in state of an object is due to the change in the average kinetic energy of the particles.

This average kinetic energy is proportional to the temperature of the particles.

This is because heat is a form of energy; by adding energy to ice - heat, you "excite" the water molecules, breaking the interactions in the lattice structure and forming weaker, looser hydrogen-bonding interactions.

This causes the ice to melt. This is demonstrated in the image below.

More generally, when you remove energy - the object cools down, the particles move a lot slower. So slow, that they individually attract other molecules more than before, and this results in a physical change that also changes the state.

Name 2 different "limiting Factors" that limit the size of a population in a given ecosystem.
Scrat [10]

Answer:    food, water, habitat, and mate.

Explanation:      The common limiting factors in an ecosystem are food, water, habitat, and mate. The availability of these factors will affect the carrying capacity of an environment. As population increases, food demand increases as well

If a fisherman applies a horizontal force with magnitude 47.0 NN to the box and produces an acceleration of magnitude 3.20 m/s2m
musickatia [10]

Answer:

The correct solution is "14.6875 kg".

Explanation:

Given values:

Force,

F = 47.0 N

Acceleration,

a = 3.20 m/s²

Now,

⇒ Force=Mass\times Acceleration

or,

⇒       F=ma

⇒    47.0=m\times 3.20

⇒       m=\frac{47.0}{3.20}

⇒           =14.6875 \ kg
