The velocity vector of the planet points toward the center of the circle is the following is true about a planet orbiting a star in uniform circular motion.
A. The velocity vector of the planet points toward the center of the circle.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Motion of the planet around the star is mentioned to be uniform and around a circular path. Objects in uniform circular motion motion has constant angular speed but the velocity of the object will not remain constant. Since the planet is in circular motion the direction of velocity vector at a particular point is tangential to the circular path at that particular point.
Thus at every point, the direction of velocity vector changes and this means the velocity is never constant. The objects in uniform circular motion has centripetal acceleration which means that velocity vector of the planet points toward the center of the circle.
If they have self motivation or others motivation, they will show their full potential.
Answer:
1.603 s
Explanation:
Given that
Initial mass, = 0.45 kg
Initial period, = 1.45 s
Initial radius, = 0.14 m
Final mass, = 0.55 kg
Final period, = ?
Final radios, = 0.14 m
Since we are finding the rotation period of two masses of same radius, we can assume that the outward force is the same in both cases. This means that
m₁r₁ω₁² = m₂r₂ω2²
Where, ω = 2π/T, on substituting, we have
0.45 * 0.14 * (2π / 1.45)² = 0.550 * 0.14 * (2π / T₂)²
0.45 / 1.45² = 0.550 / T₂²
T₂² = 0.550 * 1.45² / 0.45
T₂² = 2.56972
T₂ = √2.56972
T₂ = 1.603 sec
