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.

A wave with a frequency of 60 Hz is traveling along a string whose linear mass density is 230 g/m and whose tension is 65 N. If
matrenka [14]

To develop this problem we will use the concepts related to Speed in a string that is governed by Tension (T) and linear density (µ)

V = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}

Our values are given as:

f = 60Hz\\\mu = 230 g/m = 0.230kg/m\\T = 65N\\P = 75w

Replacing we have that the velocity is

V = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}

V = \sqrt{\frac{65}{0.230}}

V = 16.81m/s

From the theory of wave propagation the average power wave is given as

P =\frac{1}{2} \mu \omega^2 A^2 V

Where,

A = Amplitude

\omega = 2\pi f \rightarrow Angular velocity

A^2 = \frac{2P}{\mu \omega^2 V}

A^2 = \frac{2P}{\mu (2\pi f)^2 V}

Replacing,

A^2 = \sqrt{\frac{2(75)}{(0.230)(2\pi 60)^2(16.81)}}

A = 0.0165m

Therefore the amplitude of the wave should be 0.0165m

Question 7 (2 points)
DiKsa [7]
This has to do with independent and dependent variables. The independent variable is what affects the dependant variable, so the question is, does a students mark on a test affect their hours of sleep or does their hours of sleep affect their test results? Which one makes more sense? I would say the latter.

Alik [6]

Answer:

An investigation is made to determine the performance of simple thin airfoils in the slightly supersonic flow region with the aid of the nonlinear transonic theory first developed by von Kármán[1]. Expressions for the pressure coefficient across an oblique shock and a Prandtl-Meyer expansion are developed in terms of a transonic similarity parameter. Aerodynamic coefficients are calculated in similarity form for the flat plate and asymmetric wedge airfoils, and curves are plotted. Sample curves for a flat plate and a specific asymmetric wedge are plotted on the usual coordinate grid of Cl, Cd,andCmc/4versus angle of attack and Cl versus Mach Number to illustrate the apparent features of nonlinear flow.
