Answer:

3.56×10²⁶ Kg.

Explanation:

Note: The gravitational force is acting as the centripetal force.

Fg = Fc........................... Equation 1

Where Fg = gravitational Force, Fc = centripetal force.

Recall,

Fg = GMm/r²......................... Equation 2

Fc = mv²/r............................. Equation 3

Where M = mass of the planet, m = mass of the moon, r = radius of the orbit and G = Universal gravitational constant.

Substituting equation 2 and 3 into equation 1

GMm/r² = mv²/r

Simplifying the equation above,

M = v²r/G .............................. Equation 4.

The period of the moon in the orbit

T = 2πr/v

Making v the subject of the equation,

v = 2πr/T............................. Equation 5

where r = 7.0×10⁷ m, T = 6 h 38 min = (6×3600 + 38×60) s = (21600+2280) s

T = 23880 s, π = 3.14

v = (2×3.14×7.0×10⁷ )/23880

v = 18409 m/s

Also Given: G = 6.67×10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²

Also substituting into equation 4

M = 18409²×7.0×10⁷ /(6.67×10⁻¹¹)

M = 3.56×10²⁶ Kg.

Thus the mass of the planet =  3.56×10²⁶ Kg.

A certain car engine delivers enough force to create 630 N⋅m of torque when the engine is operating at 3200 revolutions per minu
jekas [21]

The appropriate expression for the calculation of power by relating the angular energy in a given time.

In other words the instantaneous power of an angular accelerating body is the torque times the angular velocity

P=\tau\omega

Where

\tau = Torque

\omega =Angular speed

Our values are given by

\tau = 630Nm

\omega = 3200rev/min

The angular velocity must be transformed into radians per second then

\omega = 3200rev/min (\frac{2\pi rad}{60s})

\omega = 335.103rad/s

Replacing,

P=(630)(335.103)

P = 211.11*10^3W

P = 211.1kW

The average power delivered by the engine at this rotation rate is 211.1kW

A bicyclist is initially traveling at 3 m/s. The bicyclist accelerates at 1 m/s2 for 5 seconds.
leonid [27]
The change in velocity is 5m/s which added to the initial 3m/s makes the final velocity 8m/s

Distance = (3*5) + (1/2*1*5^2)= 15+12.5= 27.5m

The AC voltage source is connected to an inductor and a resistor in series. If the frequency of the source is increased the curr
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

If the frequency of the source is increased the current in the circuit will decrease.

Explanation:

The current through the circuit is given as;

I = \frac{V}{Z}

Where;

V is the voltage in the AC circuit

Z is the impedance

Z = \sqrt{R^2 + X_L^2}

Where;

R is the resistance

X_L is the inductive reactance

X_L = ωL = 2πfL

where;

L is the inductance

f is the frequency of the source

Finally, the current in the circuit is given as;

I = \frac{V}{\sqrt{R^2 + (2\pi fL)^2} }

From the equation above, an increase in frequency (f) will cause a decrease in current (I).

Therefore, If the frequency of the source is increased the current in the circuit will decrease.
