Asteroid Ida was photographed by the Galileo spacecraft in 1993, and the photograph revealed that the asteroid has a small moon,

which has been named Dactyl. Assume the mass of Ida is 4.4 x 1016 kg, the mass of Dactyl is 2.6 x 1012 kg, and the distance between the center of Dactyl and Ida is 95 km. G = 6.672x10-11 N-m2/kg2 Part Description Answer Save Status A. Assuming a circular orbit, what would be the orbital speed of Dactyl? (include units with

Answer:

The orbital speed of Dactyl is 5.55m/s

Explanation:

The orbital speed can be determined by the combination of the universal law of gravity and Newton's second law:

F = G\frac{M \cdot m}{r^{2}}  (1)

Where G is gravitational constant, M is the mass of the asteroid, m is the mass of the moon and r is the distance between them

In the other hand, Newton's second law can be defined as:

F = ma  (2)

Where m is the mass and a is the acceleration

Then, equation 2 can be replaced in equation 1

m\cdot a  = G\frac{M \cdot m}{r^{2}}  (2)

However, a will be the centripetal acceleration since the moon Dactyl describe a circular motion around the asteroid

a = \frac{v^{2}}{r}  (3)

m\frac{v^{2}}{r} = G\frac{M \cdot m}{r^{2}} (4)

Therefore, v can be isolated from equation 4:

m \cdot v^{2} = G \frac{M \cdot m}{r^{2}}r

m \cdot v^{2} = G \frac{M \cdot m}{r}

v^{2} = G \frac{M \cdot m}{rm}

v^{2} = G \frac{M}{r}

v = \sqrt{\frac{G M}{r}} (5)

Finally, the orbital speed can be found from equation 5:

Notice, that it is necessary to express r in units of meters.

r = 95km \cdot \frac{1000m}{1km} ⇒ 95000m

v = \sqrt{\frac{(6.672x10^{-11}N.m^{2}/kg^{2})(4.4x10^{16}kg)}{95000m}}

v = 5.55m/s

Hence, the orbital speed of Dactyl is 5.55m/s

How can you use the graph of velocity versus time to estimate the acceleration of the ball?
kenny6666 [7]

Answer: acceleration = slope  graph velocity vs time

Explanation: if you have the graph of velocity vs time , the slope of that graph equals the acceleration of our object assuming constant acceleration...but remenber por a real object is really hard to keep constant acceleration

3 Draw energy transfer diagrams
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

The outline of the energy transfer are;

a) Kinetic energy → Clockwork spring → Potential energy

b) Potential energy in clockwork car → Clockwork spring coil unwound → Clockwork car run

c) Chemical potential energy → Batteries in the car → Electric motors → Kinetic energy

Please find attached the drawings of the energy transfer created with MS Visio

Explanation:

The energy transfer diagrams are diagrams that can be used to indicate the part of a system where energy is stored and the form and location to which the energy is transferred

a) The energy transfer diagram for the winding up a clockwork car is given as follows;

Mechanical kinetic energy is used to wind up (turn) the clockwork car such that the kinetic energy is transformed into potential energy and stored in the wound up clockwork as follows;

Kinetic energy → Clockwork spring → Potential energy

b) Letting a wound up clockwork car run results in the conversion of mechanical potential energy into kinetic (energy due tom motion) energy as follows;

Potential energy in clockwork car → Clockwork spring coil unwound → Clockwork car run

c) The energy stored in the battery of a battery powered car is chemical potential energy. When the battery powered car runs, the chemical potential energy produces an electromotive force which is converted into kinetic energy as electric current flows from the batteries

Therefore, we have;

Chemical potential energy → Batteries in the car → Electric motors → Kinetic energy

Help!!! I need it today <br> Thank you in advance
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

 F = - k (x-xo) a graph of the weight or applied force against the elongation obtaining a line already proves Hooke's law.

Explanation:

The student wants to prove hooke's law which has the form

          F = - k (x-xo)

To do this we hang the spring in a vertical position and mark the equilibrium position on a tape measure, to simplify the calculations we can make this point zero by placing our reference system in this position.

Now for a series of known masses let's get them one by one and measure the spring elongation, building a table of weight vs elongation,

we must be careful when hanging the weights so as not to create oscillations in the spring

we look for the mass of each weight

         W = mg

          m = W / g

and we write them in a new column, we make a graph of the weight or applied force against the elongation and it should give a straight line; the slope of this line is sought, which is the spring constant.

The fact of obtaining a line already proves Hooke's law.

Young's Modulus refers to changes in the a Volume b- Length c- Body layers
Novosadov [1.4K]

Explanation:

Young' modulus is the ratio of normal stress to the longitudinal strain. Mathematically, it is given by :

Normal stress is given by force per unit area. Longitudinal strain is the change in length per unit original length.

The mathematical definition of Young's modulus is given by :

Y=\dfrac{F/A}{\Delta L/L}..........(1)

Where

\Delta L is the change in length

F is the force

A is the area of cross section

So, the Young's modulus refers to the change in length of the object. Hence, the correct option is (b) "length".
