Compare the circular velocity of a particle orbiting in the Encke Division, whose distance from Saturn 133,370 km, to a particle

orbiting in Saturn's D Ring, whose distance from Saturn is 69000 km. How many times larger is the velocity of the particle in the D Ring compared to the particle in the Encke Division?

Answer:

The particle in the D ring is 1399 times faster than the particle in the Encke Division.

Explanation:

The circular velocity is define as:

v = \frac{2 \pi r}{T}  

Where r is the radius of the trajectory and T is the orbital period

To determine the circular velocity of both particles it is necessary to know the orbital period of each one. That can be done by means of the Kepler’s third law:

T^{2} = r^{3}

Where T is orbital period and r is the radius of the trajectory.

Case for the particle in the Encke Division:

T^{2} = r^{3}

T = \sqrt{(133370 Km)^{3}}

T = \sqrt{(2.372x10^{15} Km)}

T = 4.870x10^{7} Km

It is necessary to pass from kilometers to astronomical unit (AU), where 1 AU is equivalent to 150.000.000 Km ( 1.50x10^{8} Km )

1 AU is defined as the distance between the earth and the sun.

\frac{4.870x10^{7} Km}{1.50x10^{8}Km} . 1AU

T = 0.324 AU

But 1 year is equivalent to 1 AU according with Kepler’s third law, since 1 year is the orbital period of the earth.

T = \frac{0.324 AU}{1 AU} . 1 year

T = 0.324 year

That can be expressed in units of days

T = \frac{0.324 year}{1 year} . 365.25 days  

T = 118.60 days

<em>Circular velocity for the particle in the </em><em>Encke Division</em><em>:</em>

v = \frac{2 \pi r}{T}

v = \frac{2 \pi (133370 Km)}{(118.60 days)}

For a better representation of the velocity, kilometers and days are changed to meters and seconds respectively.

118.60 days .\frac{86400 s}{1 day} ⇒ 10247040 s

133370 Km .\frac{1000 m}{1 Km} ⇒ 133370000 m

v = \frac{2 \pi (133370000 m)}{(10247040 s)}

v = 81.778 m/s

Case for the particle in the D Ring:

For the case of the particle in the D Ring, the same approach used above can be followed

T^{2} = r^{3}

T = \sqrt{(69000 Km)^{3}}

T = \sqrt{(3.285x10^{14} Km)}

T = 1.812x10^{7} Km

\frac{1.812x10^{7} Km}{1.50x10^{8}Km} . 1 AU

T = 0.120 AU

T = \frac{0.120 AU}{1 AU} . 1 year

T = 0.120 year

T = \frac{0.120 year}{1 year} . 365.25 days  

T = 43.83 days

<em>Circular velocity for the particle in </em><em>D Ring</em><em>:</em>

v = \frac{2 \pi r}{T}

v = \frac{2 \pi (69000 Km)}{(43.83 days)}

For a better representation of the velocity, kilometers and days are changed to meters and seconds respectively.

43.83 days . \frac{86400 s}{1 day} ⇒ 3786912 s

69000 Km . \frac{1000 m}{ 1 Km} ⇒ 69000000 m

v = \frac{2 \pi (69000000 m)}{(3786912 s)}

v = 114.483 m/s

 

\frac{114.483 m/s}{81.778 m/s} = 1.399            

The particle in the D ring is 1399 times faster than the particle in the Encke Division.

Astronomers have no theoretical explanation for the ""hot Jupiters"" observed orbiting some other stars. (T/F)
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Astronomers have no theoretical explanation for the ""hot Jupiters"" observed orbiting some other stars.

False

Explanation:

The “hot Jupiters” joint word startes to be used to be able to describe planets like 51 Pegasi b, a planet with a 10-day-or-less orbit and a mass 25% or greater than Jupitere, circling a sun-like star planet in 1995, which was found by astronomers Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz, who were awarded the 2019 Nobel Prize for Physics along with the cosmologist James Peebles for their “contributions to our understanding of the evolution of the universe and Earth’s place in the cosmos.”

Now  we know a total of 4,000-plus exoplanets, but only a few more than 400 meet the definition of the enigmatic hot Jupiters which, tell us a lot about how planetary systems form, and what kinds of conditions cause extreme results.

In a 2018 paper in the Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, astronomers Rebekah Dawson of the Pennsylvania State University and John Asher Johnson of Harvard University reviewed on how hot Jupiters might have formed, and would be the meaning for the rest of the planets in the galaxy.

What is the mechanical advantage of a nail puller where you exert a force 45 cm from the pivot and the nail is 1.8 cm on the oth
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mechanical Advantage is the ratio of the distance of the input load (Li)from the pivot to the output load applied to the pivot(Lo)

MA = Li/Le

Given;

Li = 45cm

Lo = 1.8cm

MA = 45/1.8

MA = 25

Hence the mechanical advantage is 25

Also MA is expressed in terms of the force ratio which is the ratio of the Load to the effort applied.

MA = Load/Effort

Given

Load = 1250N

MA = 25

Effort = ?

Substitute

25 = 1250/Effort

Effort = 1250/25

Effort = 50N

Hence the minimum force exerted on the load is 50N
