Well first of all, a planet doesn't have a semimajor axis, although it's orbit does.

In an orbit with a smaller semimajor axis, the planet moves faster, and its orbital period is shorter.

That's why the International Space Station circles the Earth in less time than the Moon does.

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

U₂ = 20 J

KE₂ = 40 J

v= 12.64 m/s

Explanation:  

Given that

H= 12 m

m = 0.5 kg

h= 4 m

The potential energy at position 1

U₁ = m g H

U₁ = 0.5 x 10 x 12        ( take g= 10 m/s²)

U₁ = 60 J

The potential energy at position 2

U₂ = m g h

U ₂= 0.5 x 10 x 4        ( take g= 10 m/s²)

U₂ = 20 J

The kinetic energy at position 1

KE= 0

The kinetic energy at position 2

KE= 1/2 m V²

From energy conservation

U₁+KE₁=U₂+KE₂

By putting the values

60 - 20 = KE₂

KE₂ = 40 J

lets take final velocity is v m/s

KE₂= 1/2 m v²

By putting the values

40 = 1/2 x 0.5 x v²

160 = v²

v= 12.64 m/s

A large truck is moving 22.0 m/s. If it’s momentum is 125,000 kg • m/s, what is the trucks mass
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

p = mv

m = p/v = 125000/22 = 5682 kg

Explanation:

Direct application of the momentum equation

p = mv

where,

p: momentum

m: mass

v: object velocity

steps:

-------

1) check for units consistency (  SI or Imperial)

2) separate the variable you are looking for.

3) DONE! :DD

2. How is frequency described in mathematical terms?
alexdok [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Frequency refers to the number of occurrences of a periodic event per time and is measured in cycles/second. In this case, there is 1 cycle per 2 seconds. So the frequency is 1 cycles/2 s = 0.5 Hz.

Calculate the magnitude of the force exerted by each wire on a 1.20-m length of the other.
Zielflug [23.3K]

Incomplete question.The complete question is attached below as screenshot along with figure

Answer:

F=6.00*10^{-6}N

Force is repulsive

Explanation:

Given data

Current I₁=5.00A

Current I₂=2.00A

Length L=1.20 m

Radius r=0.400m

To find

Force F

Solution

As the force is repulsive because currents are in opposite direction

From repulsive force we know that:

F=\frac{u_{o}I_{1}I_{2}L}{2\pi r}

Substitute the given values

F=\frac{u_{o}(5.00A)(2.00A)(1.20m)}{2\pi (0.400m)}\\ F=6.00*10^{-6}N
