Answer:

Bernoulli's equation states mathematically that if a fluid is flowing through a tube and the tube diameter decreases, then the velocity of the fluid increases, the pressure decreases, and the mass flow (and therefore volumetric flow) remains constant so long as the air density is constan

Suppose a small planet is discovered that is 16 times as far from the Sun as the Earth's distance is from the Sun. Use Kepler's

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

23376 days

Explanation:

The problem can be solved using Kepler's third law of planetary motion which states that the square of the period T of a planet round the sun is directly proportional to the cube of its mean distance R from the sun.

$T^2\alpha R^3\\T^2=kR^3.......................(1)$

where k is a constant.

From equation (1) we can deduce that the ratio of the square of the period of a planet to the cube of its mean distance from the sun is a constant.

$\frac{T^2}{R^3}=k.......................(2)$

Let the orbital period of the earth be $T_e$ and its mean distance of from the sun be $R_e$ .

Also let the orbital period of the planet be $T_p$ and its mean distance from the sun be $R_p$ .

Equation (2) therefore implies the following;

$\frac{T_e^2}{R_e^3}=\frac{T_p^2}{R_p^3}....................(3)$

We make the period of the planet $T_p$ the subject of formula as follows;

$T_p^2=\frac{T_e^2R_p^3}{R_e^3}\\T_p=\sqrt{\frac{T_e^2R_p^3}{R_e^3}\\}................(4)$

But recall that from the problem stated, the mean distance of the planet from the sun is 16 times that of the earth, so therefore

$R_p=16R_e...............(5)$

Substituting equation (5) into (4), we obtain the following;

$T_p=\sqrt{\frac{T_e^2(16R_e)^3}{(R_e^3}\\}\\T_p=\sqrt{\frac{T_e^24096R_e^3}{R_e^3}\\}$

$R_e^3$ cancels out and we are left with the following;

$T_p=\sqrt{4096T_e^2}\\T_p=64T_e..............(6)$

Recall that the orbital period of the earth is about 365.25 days, hence;

$T_p=64*365.25\\T_p=23376days$

11. Explain why in terms of gravity and air resistance and the 2nd law, objects in free fall regardless of mass hit at the same

Alchen [17]

Answer:

When an object is dropped, it accelerates toward the center of Earth. Newton's second law states that a net force on an object is responsible for its acceleration. If air resistance is negligible, the net force on a falling object is the gravitational force.

Waves diffract the most when their wavelength is

djverab [1.8K]

<h2>Answer: about the same size of the gap or slit</h2>

Diffraction happens when a wave (mechanical or electromagnetic wave, in fact, any wave) meets an obstacle or a slit .When this occurs, the wave bends around the corners of the obstacle or passes through the opening of the slit that acts as an obstacle, forming multiple patterns with the shape of the aperture of the slit.

Note that the principal condition for the occurrence of this phenomena is that the obstacle must be comparable in size (similar size) to the size of the wavelength.

In other words, when the gap (or slit) size is larger than the wavelength, the wave passes through the gap and does not spread out much on the other side, but when the gap size is equal to the wavelength, maximum diffraction occurs.

Therefore:

<h2>Waves diffract the most when their wavelength is <u>about the same size of the gap </u></h2>
