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.

A race car accelerates from 0 m/s to 30.0 m/s with a displacement of
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

4. 10.0 m/s²

Explanation:

I) if initial velocity is 'v₀', the final velocity is 'v', the accelaration is 'a', the distance is 'L' and elapsed time if 't', then:

1. \ a=\frac{v-v_0}{t};

2. \ L=\frac{at^2}{2}.

II) using these two equations after substitution v₀=0; v=30 and L=45:

\left \{{{45 =\frac{at^2}{2}} \atop {a=\frac{30-0}{t} }} \right.

\left \{ {{at^2=90} \atop {at=30}} \right. \  \ \left \{ {{a=10} \atop {t=3}} \right. => \ a=10\frac{m}{s^2}

Which dog has the most kinetic energy
Blababa [14]
The formula to find the kinetic energy is:

Ek= 1/2 × m × v^2

1. Ek= 1/2×15×3^2
= 67.5 J

2.Ek= 1/2×8×4^2
=64 J

3.Ek= 1/2×12×5^2
= 150 J

4.Ek= 1/2×10×6^2
= 180 J

So the fourth dog has the most kinetic energy.
