Explain how the mass of a planet affects the motion of the planet around the sun?

Physics

vodomira [7]3 years ago

Answer:

The gravitational attraction of the Sun is what holds the planets in their elliptical orbits. So to explain this the mass effects the motion of the planets because the strength of gravitational force depends of the mass.

A car is moving at 19 m/s along a curve on a horizontal plane with radius of curvature 49m.
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

\mu =0.75

Explanation:

<u>Frictional Force </u>

When the car is moving along the curve, it receives a force that tries to take it from the road. It's called centripetal force and the formula to compute it is:

F_c=m.a_c

The centripetal acceleration a_c is computed as

\displaystyle a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}

Where v is the tangent speed of the car and r is the radius of curvature. Replacing the formula into the first one

F_c=m.\frac{v^2}{r}

For the car to keep on the track, the friction must have the exact same value of the centripetal force and balance the forces. The friction force is computed as

F_r=\mu N

The normal force N is equal to the weight of the car, thus

F_r=\mu .m.g

Equating both forces

\displaystyle \mu .m.g=m.\frac{v^2}{r}

Simplifying

\displaystyle \mu =\frac{v^2}{rg}

Substituting the values

\displaystyle \mu =\frac{19^2}{(49)(9.8)}

\boxed{\mu =0.75}

A 60cm long string of an ordinary guitar is tuned to produce the note a4 (frequency 440hz) when vibrating in its fundamental mod
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

0.78 m

Explanation:

The relationship between wavelength and frequency of a wave is given by

v=f \lambda

where

v is the speed of the wave

f is the frequency

\lambda is the wavelength

For the sound wave in this problem, we have

f=440 Hz is the frequency

v = 344 m/s is the speed of sound in air

Substituting into the equation and re-arranging it, we find the wavelength:

\lambda=\frac{v}{f}=\frac{344 m/s}{440 Hz}=0.78 m

How does temperature,barometric pressure,humidity,wind speed and direction, and precipitation determine the weather in a particu
Deffense [45]
Temperature is how hot or cold something is,barometric is air pressure(when the pressures high,the weather is dry)humidity is how moist the air is and how many water particles are there, wind speed and direction is how the hot and cold air is moving and how fast,which makes wind (high to low, hot to cold) precipitation is how much it is raining at that point.

A uniform cylindrical grindstone has a mass of 10 kg and a radius of 12 cm. (a) What is the rotational kinetic energy of the gri
Drupady [299]

Answer:

a) KE = 888.26J

b) N = 294.5 turns

Explanation:

For the kinetic energy:

KE = I/2*\omega_o^2

The inertia is:

I=m/2*R^2=0.072kg.m^2

So, the kinetic energy will be:

KE = 888.26J

Now, friction force is:

Ff = μ*N = 0.80*5N = 4N

The energy balance would be:

Kf - Ko = Wf    where Kf=0;   Ko = 888.26J;  and Wf is the work done by friction force.

Wf = -Ff*d = -Ff*N*2*π*R   where N is the amount of turns it gives.

Replacing these values into the energy balance:

0-888.26=-4*N*2*π*0.12

-888.26=-0.96*π*N

N=294.5 turns

Why the center of Newton rings is dark?​
RideAnS [48]
The point of contact the path difference is zero but one of the interfering ray is reflected so the effective path difference becomes λ/2 thus the condition of minimum intensity is created in the center.
