Find an expression for the square of the orbital period.

Physics
1 answer:

Answer:

T²= 4π²R³/GM

Explanation:

First we know that

Fg= Fc

Because centripetal force must equal gravitational force

So

GMm/R² = Mv²/R

But velocity is 2πR/T

So by substitution we have

GMm/R²= M (2πR/T)/T

We have

T²= 4π²R³/GM as period

Why does Earth's moon have no atmosphere?
Margaret [11]
You can eliminate the answer A because the moon is super cold
For answer B, atmosphere is contained of gasses, not just oxygen alone
Definitely not C 
The answer is D because the moon's gravity isn't strong enough to hold the gasses, as a result, only a small amount of gasses has an attraction to it ( the moon has a little atmosphere though) but not enough to be considered

Show the equation of simple pendulum to be dimensionally consistent
nataly862011 [7]
T is in seconds (s) 

<span>2pi is dimensionless </span>

<span>L is in meters (m) </span>

<span>g is in meters per second squared (m/s^2) </span>

<span>so you can write the equation for the period of the simple pendulum in its units... </span>

<span>s=sqrt(m/(m/s^2)) </span>

<span>simplify</span>

<span>s=sqrt(m*s^2*1/m) cancelling the m's </span>

<span>s=sqrt(s^2) </span>

<span>s=s </span>

<span>therefore the dimensions on the left side of the equation are equal to the dimensions on the right side of the equation.</span>

a student drops an object from the top of a building which is 19.6 m high. How long does it take the object to fall to the groun
zubka84 [21]

Here's a formula that's simple and useful, and if you're really in
high school physics, I'd be surprised if you haven't see it before. 
This one is so simple and useful that I'd suggest memorizing it,
so it's always in your toolbox.

This formula tells how far an object travels in how much time,
when it's accelerating:

               Distance = (1/2 acceleration) x (Time²).

                           D = 1/2 A T²

For your student who dropped an object out of the window,

     Distance = 19.6 m
     Acceleration = gravity = 9.8 m/s²

                                              D = 1/2 G T²

                                          19.6 =   4.9   T²

Divide each side by 4.9 :       4  =           T²

Square root each side:           2  =          T

When an object is dropped in Earth gravity,
it takes  2  seconds to fall the first 19.6 meters.

A 50 W light bulb is plugged into a standard
wolverine [178]

Answer:

$1.26

Explanation:

Power =energy/ time

energy =powerxtime

energy =50x31x24=37200

=37.2kwh

1kwh =3.39

37.2kwh=3.39x37.2=126.108cent

=$1.26
