Answer:

Option:(D)-

"Io orbits Jupiter on an elliptical orbit, due to orbital resonances with other satellites."

Explanation:

"Io" moon of Jupiter:

The Io is one of the four moons of Jupiter, as it rotates around the planet in an elliptical orbit, due to orbital resonance with other satellites. As due to the rotational motion of the moon, while orbiting the planet and having a large amount of gravitational pull on them there is a net amount of heat between the two heavenly bodies in the solar system. As the moon is very small in size as compared to giant celestial body, the crust of the moon is distorted by the unequal force of the gravity on each of its side by the planet causing a distortion of the moon's over all shape.

vA 61.2-kg circus performer is fired from a cannon that is elevated at an angle of 57.8 ° above the horizontal. The cannon uses

Answer:

The effective spring constant of the firing mechanism is 1808N/m.

Explanation:

First, we can use kinematics to obtain the initial velocity of the performer. Since we know the angle at which he was launched, the horizontal distance and the time in which it's traveled, we can calculate the speed by:

$v_0_x=\frac{x}{t}\\ \\v_0\cos\theta=\frac{x}{t}\\\\v_0=\frac{x}{t\cos\theta}$

(This is correct because the horizontal motion has acceleration zero). Then:

$v_0=\frac{20.8m}{(2.60s)\cos57.8\°}\\\\v_0=15.0m/s$

Now, we can use energy to obtain the spring constant of the firing mechanism. By the conservation of mechanical energy, considering the instant in which the elastic band is at its maximum stretch as t=0, and the instant in which the performer flies free of the bands as final time, we have:

$E_0=E_f\\\\U_e=K\\\\\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\\implies k=\frac{mv^2}{x^2}$

Then, plugging in the given values, we obtain:

$k=\frac{(61.2kg)(15.0m/s)^2}{(2.76m)^2}\\\\k=1808N/m$

Finally, the effective spring constant of the firing mechanism is 1808N/m.

Two identical space probes are orbiting Jupiter. Scientists determine that one of the space probes has a larger gravitational fo

galina1969 [7]

If the probes are identical, then the one that feels a larger gravitational
force is orbiting closer to Jupiter than the other one is.

If they're not identical, then the one with greater mass will feel more
gravitational force than the one with less mass, even if they're both
the same distance from Jupiter. (We know this from the experimental
observation that fatter people weigh more, even on Earth.)
