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.

the nucleus and the subatomic particles in the nucleus, what is the charge of the nucleus of an atom?
pychu [463]
The Nucleus contains Protons and Neutrons.

The Neutrons does not have a charge.

The Protons are positively charge.

Hence the charge on the Nucleus, would be the charge of the proton, which is positive.

Hence Nucleus is Positively Charged.

Describe difference between instantaneous velocity and average velocity
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

The instantaneous velocity is the specific rate of change of position (or displacement) with respect to time at a single point (x,t) , while average velocity is the average rate of change of position (or displacement) with respect to time over an interval.Average velocity : Average velocity of a body is defined as the change in position or displacement (Δx) divided by time interval (Δt) in which that displacement occurs.

Instantaneous velocity : The instantaneous velocity of a body is the velocity of the body at any instant of time or at any point of its path .

velocity can be positive , negative or zero.

By studying speed and velocity we come to the result that at any time interval average speed of an object is equal or more than the average but instantaneous speed is equal to instantaneous velocity.

A battery having an emf of 9.76 V delivers 111 mA when connected to a 60.5 Ω load. Determine the internal resistance of the batt
kow [346]

Answer:

r = 27.4 \: ohm

Explanation:

Using

E = I(R + r)

9.76 = 111 \times  {10}^{ - 3} (60.5 + r) \\ 87.928 = 60.5 + r \\ r = 27.4 \: ohm
