Answer

Given,

Time period of star,T = 3.37 x 10⁷ s

Radius of circular orbit,R = 1.04 x 10¹¹ m

a) Angular speed of the planet

   \omega = \dfrac{2\pi}{T}=\dfrac{2\pi}{3.37\times 10^{7}}

   \omega = 1.864\times 10^{-7}\ rad/s

b) tangential speed

   v = r \omega = 1.04\times 10^{11}\times 1.864 \times 10^{-7}

       v = 1.94 x 10⁴ m/s

c) centripetal acceleration magnitude

      a = \dfrac{v^2}{r}= \dfrac{(1.94\times 10^4)^2}{1.04\times 10^{11}}

          a = 3.62 x 10⁻³ m/s²

If a source of sound waves is rapidly approaching a person, the sound heard by the person appears to have
velikii [3]

Correct answer choice is:

D. A frequency higher than the original frequency.

Explanation:

This is a true case of Doppler's effect. The Doppler effect can be defined as the effect originated by a traveling source of waves in which there is a visible higher variation in pulse for observers towards what the source is progressing and a visible descending shift in rate for observers from what the source is dropping.

Calculate the kinetic energy in joules of an automobile weighing 2135 lb and traveling at 55 mph. (1 mile = 1.6093 km, 1 lb = 45
victus00 [196]
<span>Let's convert the speed to m/s: speed = (55 mph) (1609.3 m / mile) (1 hour / 3600 seconds) speed = 24.59 m/s Let's convert the mass to kilograms: mass = (2135 lb) (0.45359 kg / lb) mass = 968.4 kg We can find the kinetic energy KE: KE = (1/2) m v^2 KE = (1/2) (968.4 kg) (24.59 m/s)^2 KE = 292780 joules The kinetic energy of the automobile is 292780 joules.</span>
