The following table shows the duration of a year on some unknown planets of equal mass. Duration of Year Planet Duration of Year

Y 224 days Z 320 days Which of the following best explains which planet is closer to the sun? Planet Y, because gravity is directly proportional to square of distance Planet Z, because gravity is directly proportional to the square of distance Planet Z, because the sun exerts a greater gravitational force on it than on planet Y Planet Y, because the sun exerts a greater gravitational force on it than on planet Z

Gravitational force between sun and planet is given by,

F=\frac{GMm}{r^{2}}

Thus, The force of gravitation is inversely proportional to the distance.

Kepler's law states that the square of period of planet is proportional to cube of semi major axis of its orbit.

The time period of planet is more when the gravitational force is less.

Thus, planet Y is closer to earth because sun exert greater gravitational force than planet Z.

If two point sources of light are being imaged by this telescope, what is the maximum wavelength λ at which the two can be resol
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

The maximum wavelength is 492 nm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Angular separation \theta=3.0\times10^{-5}\ rad

Suppose a telescope with a small circular aperture of diameter 2.0 cm.

We need to calculate the maximum wavelength

Using formula of angular separation

\sin\theta=\dfrac{1.22\lambda}{d}

\lambda=\dfrac{d\sin\theta}{1.22}

Put the value into the formula

\lambda=\dfrac{2.0\times\sin(3\times10^{-5})}{1.22}

For small angle \sin\theta\approx\theta

\lambda=\dfrac{0.02\times3\times10^{-5}}{1.22}

\lambda=4.92\times10^{-7}\ m

\lambda=492\ nm

Hence, The maximum wavelength is 492 nm.

A roller coaster car rapidly picks up speed as it rolls down a slope. as it starts down the slope, its speed is 4 m/s. but 3 sec
Arisa [49]
Vi = 4 m/s
vf = 22 m/s
t = 3s
a = ?

vf = vi + a * t
vf - vi = a * t
a = (vf - vi) / t
a = (22 - 4) / 3
a = 6 m / s^2

Is light fastest than speed and why.
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

There is no limit to how fast the universe can expand, says physicist Charles Bennett of Johns Hopkins University. Einstein's theory that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum still holds true, because space itself is stretching, and space is nothing.

The clothes washer in your house consumes 470 kWh of energy per year. Price of the washer is $360 and the lifetime of the washer
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

$893

Explanation: the complete question should be

The clothes washer in your house consumes 470 kWh of energy per year. Price of the washer is $360 and the lifetime of the washer is 10 yrs. Energy price in your city is 9 cents per kWh. What is the lifecycle cost of the clothes washer? (assume a maintenance cost of $11 per year)

SOLUTION

Given:

The clothes washe power consumption (PC) is 470 kWh

Price of the washer (P) is $360

lifetime of the washer (L) is 10 yrs

Energy price in the city (E) is 9 cents per kWh (Covert to $ by dividing 100)

maintenance cost (M) is $11 per year

Lifecycle cost = P + (PC × L × E) +M + L

Lifecycle cost = $360 + (470kWh × 10years × 9cents/100) + ($11 × 10years)

=$893

3) Magnets are used to separate steel cans from aluminum cans in recycling plants. How can
Elden [556K]

Answer:

Since steel contains iron (a magnetic metal), the magnets will attract the steel cans since aluminum is not magnetic. This is used to separate the steel cans from the aluminum cans so they can be recycled separately.
