Time period of any moon of Jupiter is given by

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{r^3}{GM}}

from above formula we can say that mass of Jupiter is given by

M = \frac{4 \pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}

now for part a)

r = 4.22 * 10^8 m

T = 1.77 day = 152928 seconds

now by above formula

M = \frac{4 \pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}

M = \frac{4 \pi^2 (4.22 * 10^8)^3}{(6.67 * 10^{-11})(152928)^2}

M = 1.9* 10^{27} kg

Part B)

r = 6.71 * 10^8 m

T = 3.55 day = 306720 seconds

now by above formula

M = \frac{4 \pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}

M = \frac{4 \pi^2 (6.71 * 10^8)^3}{(6.67 * 10^{-11})(306720)^2}

M = 1.9* 10^{27} kg

Part c)

r = 10.7 * 10^8 m

T = 7.16 day = 618624 seconds

now by above formula

M = \frac{4 \pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}

M = \frac{4 \pi^2 (10.7 * 10^8)^3}{(6.67 * 10^{-11})(618624)^2}

M = 1.89* 10^{27} kg

PART D)

r = 18.8 * 10^8 m

T = 16.7 day = 1442880 seconds

now by above formula

M = \frac{4 \pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}

M = \frac{4 \pi^2 (18.8 * 10^8)^3}{(6.67 * 10^{-11})(1442880)^2}

M = 1.889* 10^{27} kg

Explanation:

\implies   v_{av} =  \dfrac{total \: displacement}{total \: time}

\implies   v_{av} =  \dfrac{100}{10}

\implies   v_{av} =10 \:  {ms}^{ - 1}

Set up the problem with the conversion rates as fractions where when you multiply the units cancel out leaving the desired units behind.

( \frac{ 5 cm}{1 sec} ) *( \frac{1m }{100cm})*( \frac{1km}{1000m} )*( \frac{1mi}{1.6km} ) = 0.00003125 mi/sec \\  \\ ( \frac{0.00003125 mi}{1sec} )*( \frac{60sec}{1min} )*( \frac{60min}{1hr} )=0.1125 mi/hr

An object moving on a horizontal, frictionless surface makes a glancing collision with another object initially at rest on the s
cluponka [151]

Answer:

Momentum is always conserved, and kinetic energy may be conserved.

Explanation:

For an object moving on a horizontal, frictionless surface which makes a glancing collision with another object initially at rest on the surface, the type of collision experienced by this objects can either be elastic or an inelastic collision depending on whether the object sticks together after collision or separates and move with a common velocity after collision.

If the body separates and move with a common velocity after collision, the collision is elastic but if they sticks together after collision, the collision is inelastic.

Either ways the momentum of the bodies are always conserved since they will always move with a common velocity after collision but their kinetic energy may or may not be conserved after collision, it all depends whether they separates or stick together after collision and since we are not told in question whether or not they separate, we can conclude that their kinetic energy "may" be conserved.
