Answer:

The other bodies in a solar system

Explanation:

Stars are generally bigger in size than the objects orbiting around them. Star is the object that holds all the object of a star system in a definite shape and makes all the objects orbit it due to its gravity. Of all these objects few are designated as planets as per the criteria laid down by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). One of the criteria is: "The planets orbit around the star and clear their orbit i.e. they are the biggest object in that region".

By this logic it is pretty evident that they are bigger than other objects in the star system (or in our case the solar system).

The concept of critical density is just like the idea of escape velocity for a projectile launched from the earth. An object lau

ikadub [295]

Answer:

v = √ 2 G M/ $R_{e}$

Explanation:

To find the escape velocity we can use the concept of mechanical energy, where the initial point is the surface of the earth and the end point is at the maximum distance from the projectile to the Earth.

Initial

Em₀ = K + U₀

Final

$Em_{f}$ = $U_{f}$

The kinetic energy is k = ½ m v²

The gravitational potential energy is U = - G m M / r

r is the distance measured from the center of the Earth

How energy is conserved

Em₀ = $Em_{f}$

½ mv² - GmM / $R_{e}$ = -GmM / r

v² = 2 G M (1 / $R_{e}$ – 1 / r)

v = √ 2GM (1 / $R_{e}$ – 1 / r)

The escape velocity is that necessary to take the rocket to an infinite distance (r = ∞), whereby 1 /∞ = 0

v = √ 2GM / $R_{e}$

A coin is placed on a vinyl stereo record that is making 33 1/3 revolutions per minute on a turntable. (a) In what direction is

mamaluj [8]

Answer: a) The acceletarion is directed to the center on the turntable. b) 5 cm; ac= 0.59 m/s^2; 10 cm, ac=1.20 m/s^2; 14 cm, ac=1.66 m/s^2

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we have to consider teh expression of the centripetal accelartion for a circular movement, which is given by:

ac=ω^2*r where ω and r are the angular speed and teh radios of the circular movement.

w=2*π*f

We know that the turntable is set to 33 1/3 rev/m so

the frequency 33.33/60=0.55 Hz

then w=2*π*0.55=3.45 rad/s

Finally the centripetal acceleration at differents radii results equal:

r= 0.05 m ac=3.45^2*0.05=0.50 m/s^2

r=0.1 ac=3.45^2*0.1=1.20 m/s^2

r=0.14 ac=3.45^2*0.14=1.66 m/s^2
