In 1610, galileo used his telescope to discover four prominent moons around jupiter. their mean orbital radii a and periods t ar

e as follows: (a) io has a mean orbital radius of 4.22 x 108 m and a period of 1.77 days. find the mass of jupiter from this information. (b) europa has a mean orbital radius of 6.71 x 108 m and a period of 3.55 days. find the mass of jupiter from this information. (c) ganymede has a mean orbital radius of 10.7 x 108 m and a period of 7.16 days. find the mass of jupiter from this information. (d) callisto has a mean orbital radius of 18.8 x 108 m and a period of 16.7 days. find the mass of jupiter from this information

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

Small paragraph explaining how how potential and kinetic energy are related
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

Kinetic energy is energy possessed by a body by virtue of its movement. Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position or state. While kinetic energy of an object is relative to the state of other objects in its environment, potential energy is completely independent of its environment.

Formulating a Hypothesis: Part I Since the investigative question has two variables, you need to focus on each one separately. T
Taya2010 [7]

Explanation:

The kinetic energy is said to be possessed due to the motion of the object. An object at rest will have zero kinetic energy and if it is in motion it will have some kinetic energy. The mathematical expression for kinetic energy is given by :

E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times m\times v^2...........(1)

Where

m is the mass of the object

v is the velocity of object

It is clear form expression (1) that the kinetic energy of the object is directly proportional to the mass and velocity of an object.

So, the hypothesis for the mass and kinetic energy can be written as " when the mass of the object increases, its kinetic energy also increases because there exists a direct relationship between the mass and the kinetic energy of the object".

. A 13-g goldfinch has a speed of 8.5 m/s. What is its kinetic energy?
lesya692 [45]
PLEASE PRESS THE “Thanks!” BUTTON! :)
13 g —> 0.013 kg
KE = 1/2(m)(v)^2
KE = 1/2(0.013)(8.5)^2
KE = 0.47 J
