Given: Mass of earth Me = 5.98 x 10²⁴ Kg

           Radius of earth r = 6.37 x 10⁶ m

            G = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/Kg²

Required: Smallest possible period T = ?

Formula: F = ma;  F = GMeMsat/r²     Centripetal acceleration ac = V²/r

               but V = 2πr/T

equate T from all equation.

F = ma

GMeMsat/r² = Msat4π²/rT²    

GMe = 4π²r³/T²

T² = 4π²r³/GMe  

T² = 39.48(6.37 x 10⁶ m)³/6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/Kg²)(5.98 x 10²⁴ Kg)

T² = 1.02 x 10²² m³/3.99 x 10¹⁴ m³/s²

T² = 25,563,909.77 s²

T = 5,056.08 seconds    or around   1.4 Hour

Explain how the perfume atomizer works under Bernoulli's principle
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

In an atomizer, or perfume sprayer, you squeeze a rubber bulb to squirt air through a tube. Because of the Bernoulli principle, the air rushing through the tube has a lower pressure than the surrounding atmosphere. ... The perfume is pushed out of the tube and sprays into the air as a fine mist.

help plz! what vibrates in following types of wave motion 1)light wave 2)sound waves 3)x-rays 4)water waves​
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

I believe it's 2) sound waves

Explanation:

With sound waves, the energy travels along in the same direction as the particles vibrate. This type of wave is known as a longitudinal wave, so named because the energy travels along the direction of vibration of the particles.

Why does the light from the touch reach upto only certain distance
ad-work [718]
It is also likely (but not certain) that the photons will be absorbed by atoms. ... Light particles( or photons) never”run out” or loose their energy, so they can go an infinite distance, or until it reaches an object, that reflects the light or obsorbs it. Ie, a planet, or a mirror.

Se coloca agua en un recipiente de aluminio y se pone a calentar en una estufa que le suministra 230 kj, lo cual hace que la tem
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

32 °C.

Explanation:

Hola.

En este caso, debemos entender que la relación entre el calor y la temperatura viene dada por:

Q=mCp\Delta T

De este modo, dado que estamos estudiando la misma sustancia (agua) con masa constante, la relación calor-temperatura es lineal y directamente proporcional, por tal razón, si se duplica el calor suministrado, la temperatura también será duplicada, de modo que:

\Delta T_{nuevo}=2*16\°C\\\\\Delta T_{nuevo}=32\°C

¡Saludos!
