Answer:

Inverse relationship between orbital radius and orbital speed

Explanation:

Orbital speed is defined as the average speed or the instantaneous speed at a specific point in its orbit. The mathematical expression for the orbital speed is given by :

$v_o=\sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{r}}$ ......(1)

Where

G is the universal gravitational constant

M is the greater mass body and a smaller mass body orbits around it.

r is the orbital radius.

So, form equation (1) the average orbital speed is inversely proportional to the average orbital speed. On increasing orbital radius, average orbital speed decreases.

The increase in orbital radius actually decreases the average orbital speed. This is a scientifically proven fact. The increase in orbital radius by 50 percent will decrease the average orbital speed by approximately 18 percent. On the other hand, the decrease in orbital radius will increase the average orbital speed.

What is the period of a pendulum that takes 5 seconds to make a complete back and forth vibration

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

-A period is the time it takes to make one full back-and-forth swing.

-A period is calculated as the time taken for a complete swing divided by one cycle:

$T=t/1c\\\\=5s/1\\\\=5s$

Hence, the period of the pendulum is 5s

A 238 N force is applied to a 25 kg object. What is the object's acceleration?

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

$a = \frac{f}{m} \\$

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question we have

$a = \frac{238}{25} \\ = 9.52$

We have the final answer as

You fire a paintball from a paintball gun straight up into the air at 25.0 m/s. What is the ball velocity at the higher point th

iVinArrow [24]

Given :

You fire a paintball from a paintball gun straight up into the air at 25.0 m/s.

To Find :

What is the ball velocity at the higher point that the ball reaches.

Solution :

We know, when ball is moving upward acceleration due to gravity is applied downward.

So, the ball will decelerate and when ball reaches maximum height its velocity will become zero.

Therefore, ball velocity is 0 m/s at maximum height.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Which statement is true about the electromagnetic spectrum? The visible spectrum includes radio waves, light, and gamma rays. Th

frozen [14]

Answer: It has a range of visible and invisible forms of radiation.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic wave is defined as the wave which is associated with both electrical and magnetic component associated with them. They can travel in vacuum as well and travel with the speed of light i.e $2.998\times 10^8ms^{-1}$

The electromagnetic radiations consist of radio waves, microwaves, infrared ,Visible , ultraviolet, X rays and gamma rays arranged in order of increasing frequency and decreasing wavelengths.

Only visible light is visible to naked eyes.

The relationship between wavelength and frequency of the wave follows the equation:

$\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda}$

where,

$\nu$ = frequency of the wave

c = speed of light

$\lambda$ = wavelength of the wave

From the above relation, it is visible that wavelength and frequency follow inverse relation. For increase in wavelength, the value of frequency decreases and vice-versa.
