In 1996, astronomers discovered an icy object beyond Pluto that was given the designation 1996 TL 66. It has a semimajor axis of

84 AU. What is its orbital period according to Kepler’s third law?

Answer:

772.65 years.  

Explanation:

Semi major axis = R = 84 AU = 1.257 × 10¹³ m

According to the 3rd law of Kepler, T² =  4 π² R³ / GM

Here R is the semi major axis. G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ SI units.

M is the mass of the  Sun  = 1.98 x 10³⁰ kg

T² =    4 (3.14)³ (1.257 × 10¹³ )³÷ (6.67 × 10⁻¹¹)(1.98 x 10³⁰)

  ⇒  Time period  =  T = 2.44 x 10¹⁰ seconds

1 s = 3.17 × 10⁻⁸ years

Converting the seconds to years, T = 772.65 years.

An electron is accelerated through 2400 V from rest and then enters a region in which there is a uniform 1.70 T magnetic field.
aalyn [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let v be the velocity acquired by electron in electric field

V q = 1/2 m v²

V is potential difference applied on charge q , m is mass of charge , v is velocity acquired

2400 x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ = .5 x 9.1 x 10⁻³¹ x v²

v² = 844 x 10¹²

v = 29.05 x 10⁶ m /s

Maximum force will be exerted on moving electron when it moves perpendicular to magnetic field .

Maximum force = Bqv , where B is magnetic field , q is charge on electron and v is velocity of electron

= 1.7 x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x 29.05 x 10⁶

= 79.02 x 10⁻¹³ N .

Minimum force will be zero when electron moves along the direction of magnetic field .

What is the SI unit for intensity?
Allisa [31]

Answer:

The SI unit of intensity is the watt per square meter/metre (W/m^2.)

Explanation:

Intensity is equal to the power transferred per unit area. Since power is measured in watts (W) and 1 W = 1 J/s, then intensity can be viewed as how fast energy goes through a certain area.

In physics, intensity is often used when studying light, sound, or other phenomena that involve waves or energy transfer. (With waves, the power value is taken as the average power transfer over the wave's period.)

If you started the motor of a boat in the middle of a lake, who would detect the sound of the motor first: a friend sitting on t
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

A friend snorkeling just below the surface of the water along the same shore will detect the sound first.

Explanation:

  • The speed of sound in water medium is faster than that through the air.
  • Sound propagates through the medium by transferring through the molecules on it. Water has more closely packed molecules due to which the speed is faster.
  • In fact, the sound's speed in water is almost four times faster than that in the air.
  • So the guy in the water surface gets to hear sound faster than the one in sore.

If a pickup is placed 16.25 cm from one of the fixed ends of a 65.00-cm-long string, which of the harmonics from n=1 to n=12 wil
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

The answer to this question can be defined as follows:

Explanation:

Therefore the 4th harmonicas its node is right and over the pickup so, can not be captured from 16.25, which is 1:4 out of 65. Normally, it's only conceptual for the certain harmonic, this will be low, would still be heard by the catcher.

Instead, every harmonic node has maximum fractions along its string; the very first node is the complete string length and the second node is half a mile to the third node, which is one-third up and so on.
