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.

Two identical charges, 2 m apart, exert forces of magnitude 4 N on each other. The value of each charge is: 1. 9 × 105 C 2. 4.2
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

The value of each charge is 4.22 x 10⁻⁵ C

Explanation:

Given;

distance between the two identical charges, d = 2 m

the force of repulsion between these two charges, F = 4N

Apply Coulomb's law;

F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2} \\\\but \ q_1 =q_2,then \ let \ q_1 =q_2 = q\\\\F = \frac{kq^2}{r^2}\\\\q^2 = \frac{Fr^2}{k}\\\\q^2 = \frac{4*2^2}{9*10^9} \\\\q ^2 = 1.7778*10^{-9}\\\\q = \sqrt{1.7778*10^{-9}}\\\\q =4.22 *10^{-5} C\\\\q= q_1=q_2= 4.22 *10^{-5} C

Therefore, the value of each charge is 4.22 x 10⁻⁵ C

a snail can move approximately 0.30 meters per minute.How many meters can the snail cover in 15 minutes ?
hichkok12 [17]
Sometimes if you have the word per, you need to multiply. In this problem, they are asking you to find the amount of meters a snail can travel per minute.They are giving you the amount of minutes, so in this case you multiply 15 times 0.30. The answer is 4.5 meters.

evablogger [386]

Given the time, the final velocity and the acceleration, we can calculate the initial velocity using the kinematic equation A:

v = v_o + a \Delta t

A skateboarder flies horizontally off a cement planter. After a time of 3 seconds (Δt), he lands with a final velocity (v) of −4.5 m/s. Assuming the acceleration is -9.8 m/s² (a), we can calculate the initial velocity of the skateboarder (v₀) using the kinematic equation A.

v = v_o + a \Delta t\\\\v_o = v - a \Delta t = (-4.5 m/s) - (-9.8 m/s^{2} ) \times 3 s = 24.9 m/s

Given the time, the final velocity and the acceleration, we can calculate the initial velocity using the kinematic equation A:

v = v_o + a \Delta t
