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.

How do lines of latitude affect how direct or indirect the Sun’s rays are on the Earth?
Sonja [21]

Answer:

Explanation:  We have seasons because Earth's axis – the imaginary line that goes through the Earth and around which the Earth spins — is tilted. It's tilted about 23.5 degrees relative to our plane of orbit (the ecliptic) around the Sun. As we orbit our Sun, our axis always points to the same fixed location in space. Our northern axis points almost directly toward Polaris, the North Star.

forsale [732]
Impulse = Force * times and also Impulse = change in momentum.

Given that the mass does not change, change if momentum = mass * (final velocity -  initial velocity)

Given that you know mass and initial velocity (which is the velicity before the cart hits the wall) you need the final velocity (which is the velocity after the cart hits the wall).

Answer: the velocity of the cart after it hits the wall.
