Answer:

Titan takes 11.634 times longer to orbit Saturn as compared to Enceladus.

Explanation:

We have been given that the average distance of Enceladus from Saturn is 238,000 km; the average distance of Titan from Saturn is 1,222,000 km.

We will use Kepler's Law to solve our given problem.

\frac{(T_1)^2}{(T_2)^2}=\frac{(r_1)^3}{(r_2)^3}

Upon substituting our given values, we will get:

\frac{(T_1)^2}{(T_2)^2}=\frac{(238,000)^3}{(1,222,000)^3}

\frac{(T_1)^2}{(T_2)^2}=\frac{13481272000000000}{1824793048000000000}

\frac{(T_1)^2}{(T_2)^2}=\frac{13481272}{1824793048}

\frac{(T_1)^2}{(T_2)^2}=0.0073878361246365

Taking square root of both sides, we will get:

\frac{T_1}{T_2}=\sqrt{0.0073878361246365}

\frac{T_1}{T_2}=0.0859525225030452495

\frac{T_2}{T_1}=\frac{1}{0.0859525225030452495}

\frac{T_2}{T_1}=11.634329870476699\approx 11.634

T_2=11.634\cdot T_1

This implies that time period of Titan about Sturn is 11.634 times more compared to time period of Enceladus about Saturn.

So, basically Titan takes 11.634 times longer to orbit Saturn as compared to Enceladus.

While on a playground, you and your niece take turns sliding down a frictionless slide. Your mass is 75 kg while your little nie
Olenka [21]

Answer:

c.

Explanation:

  • In absence of friction, total mechanical energy must be conserved.
  • This means that the change in gravitational potential energy (in magnitude) must be equal to the change in kinetic energy:

       \Delta K = \Delta U \\ \\  \frac{1}{2} * m* v^{2}  = m*g*h

  • As it can be seen, the mass m is on the both sides of the equation, which means that it can be simplified.
  • We can solve this equation for v (speed at the bottom) as follows:

        v = \sqrt{2*g*h}

  • As it can be seen, the mass has no part in the equation, so, due both are starting from the same height, both people have the same speed at the bottom.
  • The option c is the right one.

Which statement correctly differentiates between transmitters and receivers?
jeka94

Answer:

Transmitters send radio waves, and receivers capture radio waves.

Explanation:

Let us look at each of the choices one by one:

(1).Transmitters have antennas, and receivers do not have antennas.

Nope. To send signals transmitters need antennas, and to receive signals   the receivers need antennas as well.

(2). Transmitters send radio waves, and receivers capture radio waves.

This is true. Transmitters are for transmitting and receivers are for     receiving EM signals.

(3). Transmitters have demodulators, and receivers have modulators.

No, it is the other way around. Transmitters have modulators, and          receivers have demodulators.

(4). Transmitters do not have amplifiers, and receivers have amplifiers.

Nope. Both the transmitters and the receivers need amplifiers.    Transmitters need them to increase the power of the broadcast, and   receivers need them to amplify the signal for processing.

Therefore, only the 2nd statement "Transmitters send radio waves, and receivers capture radio waves." is correct.

g The potential energy of a pair of hydrogen atoms separated by a large distance x is given by U(x)=−C6/x6, where C6 is a positi
Arisa [49]

Answer:

F_x = -\frac{6 C_6}{2^7}

Attractive

Explanation:

Data provided in the question

The potential energy of a pair of hydrogen atoms given by \frac{C_6}{X_6}

Based on the given information, the force that one atom exerts on the other is

Potential energy μ = \frac{C_6}{X_6}

Force exerted by one atom upon another

F_x = \frac{\partial U}{\partial X} = \frac{\partial}{\partial X}  (-\frac{C_6}{X^6})

or

F_x = \frac{\partial}{\partial X}  (\frac{C_6}{X^6})

or

F_x = -\frac{6 C_6}{2^7}

As we can see that the C_6 comes in positive and constant which represents that the force is negative that means the force is attractive in nature
