Suppose that a planet were discovered between the sun and Mercury, with a circular orbit of radius equal to 2/3 of the average o

rbit radius of Mercury. What would be the orbital period of such a planet? (Use the mass of the sun of 1.99 \times 10^{30} kg1.99×10 30 kg and the radius of Mercury's orbit is 5.79 \times 10^{10} m5.79×10 10 m.) Express your answer in units of "days".

Explanation:

It is given that,

A planet were discovered between the sun and Mercury, with a circular orbit of radius equal to 2/3 of the average orbit radius of Mercury.

Mass of the Sun, M=1.99\times 10^{30}\ kg

Radius of Mercury's orbit, r=5.79\times 10^{10}\ m

Radius of discovered planet, R=\dfrac{2}{3}r

R=\dfrac{2}{3}\times 5.79\times 10^{10}\ m=3.86\times 10^{10}\ m

Let T is the orbital period of such a planet. Using Kepler's third law of planetary motion as :

T^2\propto R^3

T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2R^3}{GM}

T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2\times (3.86\times 10^{10})^3}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.99\times 10^{30}}

T=\sqrt{1.71\times 10^{13}}

T = 4135214.625 s

or

T = 47.86 days

So, the orbital period of such a planet is 47.86 days. Hence, this is the required solution.

A man weighing 720 N and a woman weighing 500 N have the same momentum. What is the ratio of the man's kinetic energy Km to that
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Because weight W = M g, the ratio of weights equals the ratio of masses.

(M_m g)/ (M_w g) = [ (p^2 Man )/ (2 K_man)] / [ (p^2 Woman )/ (2 K_woman)

but p's are equal, so

K_m/K_m = (M_w g)/(M_m g) = W_woman / W_man = 450/680 = 0.662Explanation:

Does wavelength affect the energy of a wave?
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

Not quite

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave is inversely proportional to its wavelength. That means that waves with a high frequency have a short wavelength, while waves with a low frequency have a longer wavelength

What determines the strength of a wave?

Wave height is affected by wind speed, wind duration (or how long the wind blows), and fetch, which is the distance over water that the wind blows in a single direction. If wind speed is slow, only small waves result, regardless of wind duration or fetch.

So,

As Wavelength increases, The energy of the wave spreads and it decreases
