Answer:

Because work can be defined as force time distance, we can also use the following equation

Solution

P=power (w or ft-lbf/s)

F=force (N or lbf)

D=distance (m or ft)

T=time (sec)

One horsepower is equivalent to 550 ft-lbf/s and 745.7 watts.

Mimas, a moon of Saturn, has an orbital radius of 1.62 × 108 m and an orbital period of about 23.21 h. Use Newton’s version of K

Drupady [299]

Answer:

$3.60432\times 10^{26}\ kg$

Explanation:

a = Orbital radius = $1.62\times 10^8\ m$

T = Orbital period = 23.21 hours

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

From Kepler's third law we get

$M=\frac{4\pi^2a^3}{GT^2}\\\Rightarrow M=\frac{4\pi^2\times (1.62\times 10^8)^3}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times (23.21\times 3600)^2}\\\Rightarrow M=3.60432\times 10^{26}\ kg$

From the given data the mass of Saturn is $3.60432\times 10^{26}\ kg$

A star is known to be moving at 8.46km/s toward the earth. If you observe the spectral line to be at 5.02nm, at what wavelength

anastassius [24]

Answer:

$\lambda_x=5.019858nm$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Speed of star $S=8.46km/s$

Distance of spectral line $\lambda_0= 5.02nm$

Generally the equation for wavelength with respect to spectral lines is mathematically given by

$\lambda=\lambda _0 *\frac{v}{c}$

where

$\lambda_0= length\ of\ spectral\ line$

$c=The\ speed\ of\ light$

$v= speed\ of\ moving\ object$

therefore

$\lambda=5.02*10^{-9} *\frac{8.46*10^{12}}{299 792 458*10^9}$

$\lambda=1.42*10^{-4} nm$

Generally the equation for new wavelength is mathematically given as

$\lambda_x=\lambda _0-\lambda$

$\lambda_x=5.02 nm-1.42*10^{-4} nm$

$\lambda_x=5.02-1.42*10^{-4}$

Therefore

$\lambda_x=5.019858nm$

Explain why isokinetic exercises cannot generally be performed by individuals at home.

Lina20 [59]

Iso-kinetic exercises cannot be performed at home by an individual because they require specific machines that enable to exercise at a constant speed with professional guidance.

<u>Explanation :</u>

Iso-kinetic exercises are that kind of training regimes that require a constant pace to strengthen your muscles with the help of machines with significant specifications.

The machines involved in iso-kinetic exercises control your pace with variable resistance throughout the session and hence, it’s not a cup of tea for an individual to trace his/her performances and the respective improvements.

So, before going for a iso-kinetic schedule, be sure to have a word with your physiotherapist to train well with the machines under the specifications that can better suit your body and its requirements.

Suppose you calculated the speed of light in an unknown substance to be 4.00x10^8 m/s. How could you tell if you made an error i

Mice21 [21]

Answer: You could tell if you made an error in your calculations by repeating the steps.

Speed of light is the fastest/maximum in vacuum which is equal to 3 × 10^8 m/s, therefore speed of light through any material equal to 4 × 10^8 m/s is physically and theoretically impossible and therefore incorrect.
