Answer:

m = 2.23 \times 10^{-32} kg

Explanation:

Given data:

PERIOD OF MOTION IS T = 25.5 days

orbital speeds = 220 km/s

we know that

acceleration due to centripetal force isa =   \frac{F}{m} = \frac{V^2}{r}

Gravitational forceF= \frac{Gm m}{d^2}

we know that

v = \frac{2\pi R}{T}

solving for

R = \frac{vT}{2\pi}

F = \frac{Gm^2}{4(\frac{vT}{2\pi})^2}

F = G\times \frac{\pi m}{(vT)^2}

a = \frac{v^2}{\frac{vT}{2\pi}}

a = \frac{2\pi v}{T}

we know that

f =ma

G\times \frac{\pi m}{(vT)^2} = a = \frac{2\pi m v}{T}

solving for m

m = \frac{2Tv^3}{\pi G}

m = \frac{2\times 25.5 \times 86400 \times 220000^3\ m/s}{\pi \times 6.67\times 10^{-11}}

m = 2.23 \times 10^{-32} kg

how does the composition of a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen differ of hydrogen and oxygen differ from the composition of a comp
mafiozo [28]
In a mixture, there will be a solute and solvent. The hydrogen and oxygen are still two different atoms that just mixed together. But in a compound, the hydrogen and oxygen have a bond, making a new and bigger molecule. A mixture can easily be separated by physical means but a compound isn't.

A bicyclist bikes the 90 mi to a city averaging a certain speed. The return trip is made at a speed that is 1 mph slower. Total
Lynna [10]

Answer:

his speeds while going to city is 10 mph and while his round trip the speed will be 9 mph

Explanation:

Let say the speed of the bicycle while he moves towards the city is "v"

now the speed of the round trip must be smaller by 1 mph

so its speed for round trip will be

v_2 = v - 1

now we know that total time of the motion is 19 hr

so we will have

t_1 = \frac{90}{v}

t_2 = \frac{90}{v - 1}

so we will have

t_1 + t_2 = 19 hr

\frac{90}{v} + \frac{90}{v-1} = 19

90(2v - 1) = 19(v^2 - v)

19 v^2 - 199 v + 90 = 0

by solving above equation we have

v = 10 mph

so his speeds while going to city is 10 mph and while his round trip the speed will be 9 mph

The speed of sound in air is 345 m/s. A tuning fork vibrates above the open end of a sound resonance tube. If sound waves have w
Delvig [45]

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concept of Frequency based on speed and wavelength.

According to the definition the frequency can be expressed as

f = \frac{v}{\lambda}

Where,

v = Velocity

\lambda = Wavelength

Our value are given by,

v = 345m/s

\lambda = 63cm

Replacing

f = \frac{345}{0.63}

f = 547.61Hz

Therefore the frequency of the tuning fork is 547.61Hz

Write a sentence on how these words are used in real life situations
ipn [44]

Answer:

Explanation:

You can approach an expression for the instantaneous velocity at any point on the path by taking the limit as the time interval gets smaller and smaller. Such a limiting process is called a derivative and the instantaneous velocity can be defined as.#3

For the special case of straight line motion in the x direction, the average velocity takes the form: If the beginning and ending velocities for this motion are known, and the acceleration is constant, the average velocity can also be expressed as For this special case, these expressions give the same result. Example for non-constant acceleration#1
