The object that a satellite revolves around is the <em>central body</em> of the system. <em>(C)</em>

For example:

-- The central body of the solar system is the Sun.

-- The central body for TV satellites, GPS satellites, weather satellites, and the International Space Station is the Earth.

-- The central body for Phobos and Deimos is Mars.

This should be a pretty easy question to answer by elimination, when you notice that "Orbit", "Period", and "Rotation" are not "Bodies".

For a particular pipe in a pipe-organ, it has been determined that the frequencies 576 Hz and 648 Hz are two adjacent natural fr

N76 [4]

Answer:

(A) Fo = 72 Hz

(B) The pipe is open at both ends

This problem involves the application of the knowledge of standing waves in pipes.

Explanation:

The full solution can be found in the attachment below.

For pipes open at both ends the frequency of the pipe is given by

F = nFo = nv/2L where n = 1, 2, 3, 4.....

For pipes closed at one end the frequency of the pipe is given by

F = nFo = nv/4L where n = 1, 3, 5, 7...

The full solution can be found in the attachment below.

Milwaukee is 121 in Miles Due West of Grand Rapids Maria drives 255 miles in 4.75 hours from Grand Rapids to Milwaukee find her

Katen [24]

Average speed = Distance traveled / time

= 255 miles / 4.75 hours

= 53.68 miles/hour

If we were solving for velocity the displacement of 121 miles would have been used.

A force of 62 N acts on a 35 kg object for 10.0s. What is the objects change in momentum?

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

Δp = 620 N.s

Explanation:

Newton's second law, was originally conceived as follows:

$F = \frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t} (1)$

In this way, a net force applied on an object, is equal to the rate of change of the momentum of the object regarding time.

for m= constant, it reduces to F= m*a.

Replacing in (1) F= 62 N, and Δt = 10.0 s, we can solve for Δp (object's change in momentum) , as follows:

$\Delta p = F* \Delta t = 62 N* 10.0 s = 620 N*s (2)$

As a basketball player starts to jump for a rebound, he begins to move upward faster and faster until he leaves the floor. Durin

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

The force of the floor on his shoes is bigger than his weight.

Explanation:

From Newton's third law of motion which states that to every action there is an equal an opposite reaction, we can say that the ground exerts additional force on the basketball player, thereby overcoming his weight and pushing him off the ground.

So, when the basketball player jumps, his muscles contract or extend appropriately which in turn creates an additional force on the ground. Hence, the force of the floor on his shoes is bigger than his weight.
