The existence of the dwarf planet Pluto was proposed based on irregularities in Neptune's orbit. Pluto was subsequently discover

ed near its predicted position. But it now appears that the discovery was fortuitous, since Pluto is small and the irregularities in Neptune's orbit were not well known. Answer the following to illustrate that Pluto has a minor effect on the orbit of Neptune compared with other planets. (a) Calculate the acceleration of gravity at Neptune due to Pluto when they are 3.2 1012 m apart. The mass of Pluto is 1.3 1022 kg. g1 = m/s2 (b) Calculate the acceleration of gravity at Neptune due to Uranus, when they are 3.2 1012 m apart. The mass of Uranus is 8.68 1025 kg. g2 = m/s2 (c) Give the ratio of this acceleration to that due to Pluto. g2 g1 =

Answer:

a) g1 = 8.467 10⁻¹⁴ m / s² , b)  g2 = 5.65 10⁻¹⁰ m / s² , c) g2 / g1 = 6.6 10³

Explanation:

a) for this we will use Newton's second law where force is the force of universal gravitation

         F = m a

        G m M / r² = m a

        a = g = G M / r²

By the effect of Pluto

        g1 = 6.67 10⁻¹¹  1.3 10²² / (3.2 10¹²)²

        g1 = 8.467 10⁻¹⁴ m / s²

b) By the effect of Uranus

        g2 = 6.67 10⁻¹¹ 8.68 10²⁵ / (3.2 10¹²)²

        g2 = 5.65 10⁻¹⁰ m / s²

c) the relationship between these accelerations

        g2 / g1 = 5.65 10⁻¹⁰ / 8.47 10⁻¹⁴

        g2 / g1 = 0.66 10⁴

        g2 / g1 = 6.6 10³

A bus is moving at a speed of 150km/hr. Begins to slow at a constant rate of 3.0m/s each second. Find how far it goes before sto
ladessa [460]

Answer:

Distance = 13.9 meters

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Maximum speed = 150 km/hr to meters per seconds = 150 * 1000/3600 = 41.67 m/s

Decelerating speed = 3m/s

To find the distance travelled with this speed;

Distance = maximum speed/decelerating speed

Distance = 41.67/3

Distance = 13.9 meters

Therefore, the bus would travel a distance of 13.9 meters before stopping.

Suppose our experimenter repeats his experiment on a planet more massive than Earth, where the acceleration due to gravity is g
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

- Let acceleration due to gravity @ massive planet be a = 30 m/s^2

- Let acceleration due to gravity @ earth be g = 30 m/s^2

Solution:

- The average time taken for the ball to cover a distance h from chin to ground with acceleration a on massive planet is:

                                 t = v / a

                                 t = v / 30

- The average time taken for the ball to cover a distance h from chin to ground with acceleration g on earth is:

                                 t = v / g

                                 t = v / 9.81

- Hence, we can see the average time taken by the ball on massive planet is less than that on earth to reach back to its initial position. Hence, option C
