A particular planet has a moment of inertia of 9.74 × 1037 kg ⋅ m2 and a mass of 5.98 × 1024 kg. Based on these values, what is

the planet's radius? Hint: Because planets are the shape of a sphere, the moment of inertia is I = (2/5)mr2.
A) 6.38 x 106 m
B) 2.55 × 106 m
C) 6.52 × 1012 m
D) 4.07 × 1013m

Answer: A) $6.38(10)^{6} m$

Explanation:

The equation for the moment of inertia $I$ of a sphere is:

$I=\frac{2}{5}mr^{2}$ (1)

Where:

$I=9.74(10)^{37}kg m^{2}$ is the moment of inertia of the planet (assumed with the shape of a sphere)

$m=5.98(10)^{24}kg$ is the mass of the planet

$r$ is the radius of the planet

Isolating $r$ from (1):

$r=\sqrt{\frac{5I}{2m}}$ (2)

Solving:

$r=\sqrt{\frac{5(9.74(10)^{37}kg m^{2})}{2(5.98(10)^{24}kg)}}$ (3)

Finally:

$r=6381149.077m \approx 6.38(10)^{6} m$

Therefore, the correct option is A.

Which of these is a TRUE statement

dangina [55]

Answer:

Sound travels through solids and liquids at the same speed

Explanation:

Because sound needs a dencer object to travel fast and since both liquid and solids are closer than gas sound travles faster in them.

A 3.15-kg object is moving in a plane, with its x and y coordinates given by x = 6t2 − 4 and y = 5t3 + 6, where x and y are in m

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

<h2>206.67N</h2>

Explanation:

The sum of force along both components x and y is expressed as;

$\sum Fx = ma_x \ and \ \sum Fy = ma_y$

The magnitude of the net force which is also known as the resultant will be expressed as $R =\sqrt{(\sum Fx)^2 + (\sum Fx )^2}$

To get the resultant, we need to get the sum of the forces along each components. But first lets get the acceleration along the components first.

Given the position of the object along the x-component to be x = 6t² − 4;

$a_x = \frac{d^2 x }{dt^2}$

$a_x = \frac{d}{dt}(\frac{dx}{dt} )\\ \\a_x = \frac{d}{dt}(6t^{2}-4 )\\\\a_x = \frac{d}{dt}(12t )\\\\a_x = 12m/s^{2}$

Similarly,

$a_y = \frac{d}{dt}(\frac{dy}{dt} )\\ \\a_y = \frac{d}{dt}(5t^{3} +6 )\\\\a_y = \frac{d}{dt}(15t^{2} )\\\\a_y = 30t\\a_y \ at \ t= 2.15s; a_y = 30(2.15)\\a_y = 64.5m/s^2$

$\sum F_x = 3.15 * 12 = 37.8N\\\sum F_y = 3.15 * 64.5 = 203.18N$

$R = \sqrt{37.8^2+203.18^2}\\ \\R = \sqrt{1428.84+41,282.11}\\ \\R = \sqrt{42.710.95}\\ \\R = 206.67N$

Hence, the magnitude of the net force acting on this object at t = 2.15 s is approximately 206.67N

Consider a situation of simple harmonic motion in which the distance between the endpoints is 2.39 m and exactly 8 cycles are co

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

1.195 m

2.8375 s

2.21433 rad/s

Explanation:

d = Distance = 2.39 m

N = Number of cycles = 8

t = Time to complete 8 cycles = 22.7 s

Radius would be equal to the distance divided by 2

$r=\frac{d}{2}\\\Rightarrow r=\frac{2.39}{2}\\\Rightarrow r=1.195\ m$

The radius is 1.195 m

Time period would be given by

$T=\frac{t}{N}\\\Rightarrow T=\frac{22.7}{8}\\\Rightarrow T=2.8375\ s$

Time period of the motion is 2.8375 s

Angular speed is given by

$\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\frac{2\pi}{2.8375}\\\Rightarrow \omega=2.21433\ rad/s$

The angular speed of the motion is 2.21433 rad/s
