An undiscovered planet, many lightyears from Earth, has one moon in a periodic orbit. This moon takes 2060 × 103 seconds (about

24 days) on average to complete one nearly circular revolution around the unnamed planet. If the distance from the center of the moon to the surface of the planet is 235.0 × 106 m and the planet has a radius of 3.90 × 106 m, calculate the moon's radial acceleration ????c .

Answer:

Acceleration, a=2.22\times 10^{-3}\ m/s^2

Explanation:

It is given that,

Time period of revolution of the moon, T=2060\times 10^3\ s

If the distance from the center of the moon to the surface of the planet is, h=235\times 10^6\ m

The radius of the planet, r=3.9\times 10^6\ m

Let a is the moon's radial acceleration. Mathematically, it is given by :

a=R\times \omega^2, R is the radius of orbit

Since, \omega=\dfrac{2\pi}{T}

The radius of orbit is,

R=r+h

R=3.9\times 10^6\ m+235\times 10^6\ m=238900000\ m

So, a=\dfrac{4\pi^2 R}{T^2}

a=\dfrac{4\pi^2 \times 238900000}{(2060\times 10^3)^2}

a=2.22\times 10^{-3}\ m/s^2

Hence, this is the required solution for the radial acceleration of the moon.

Part complete How long must a simple pendulum be if it is to make exactly one swing per five seconds?
shtirl [24]

Answer:

L=6.21m

Explanation:

For the simple pendulum problem we need to remember that:

\frac{d^{2}\theta}{dt^{2}}+\frac{g}{L}sin(\theta)=0,

where \theta is the angular position, t is time, g is the gravity, and L is the length of the pendulum. We also need to remember that there is a relationship between the angular frequency and the length of the pendulum:

\omega^{2}=\frac{g}{L},

where \omega is the angular frequency.

There is also an equation that relates the oscillation period and the angular frequeny:

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T},

where T is the oscillation period. Now, we can easily solve for L:

(\frac{2\pi}{T})^{2}=\frac{g}{L}\\\\L=g(\frac{T}{2\pi})^{2}\\\\L=9.8(\frac{5}{2\pi})^{2}\\\\L=6.21m

How many ohms of resistance must be present in a circuit that has 240 volts and a current of 15 amps?
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

16 ohms

Explanation:

V= I ⋅ R

where,  V  is the net potential difference in the circuit,  I  is the current in the circuit and  R  is the net resistance of the circuit.  

In this case,  V = 240  volts,  I = 15  amperes.

240 = 15 ⋅ R  

⇒ R = 240/ 15 = 16  ohms
