According to the law of universal gravitation, any two objects are attracted to each other. The strength of the gravitational fo

rce depends on the masses of the objects and their distance from each other.
Many stars have planets around them. If there were no gravity attracting a planet to its star, the planet's motion would carry it away from the star. However, when this motion is balanced by the gravitational attraction to the star, the planet orbits the star.

Two solar systems each have a planet the same distance from the star. The planets have the same mass, but Planet A orbits a more massive star than Planet B.


Which of the following statements is true about the planets?
A.
Planet B is more attracted to its star than Planet A.
B.
Planet B will keep orbiting its star longer than Planet A.
C.
Planet A orbits its star faster than Planet B.
D.
Planet A has a longer year than Planet B.

Suppose the tip of the minute hand of a clock is two inches from the center of the clock. Determine the distance traveled by the
sashaice [31]
1) The minute travels the circumference of a 4 inches circle is 60 minutes:

Circumference = 2πr = 2π(2in) = 4π in
Time = 60 minutes

2) Constant angular velocity => (4π / 60) = (x / 20) => x = 4π / 3 inches

x = 4.19 inches

Answer: 4.19 inches

A bullet is shot vertically upward with an initial velocity of 128 ft/s. The bullet's height after t seconds is y(t) = 128t - 16
saul85 [17]

The height of the bullet when the velocity is zero is 256 ft.

<h3>Height of the bullet when the velocity is zero </h3>

The height of the bullet when the velocity is zero is determined by taking derivative of the function as shown below;

v = \frac{dy}{dt} = 128 -32t \\\\when \ v \ is \ zero\\\\v = 0\\\\128 - 32t = 0\\\\32t = 128\\\\t = \frac{128}{32} \\\\t = 4 \  s

The height of the bullet at this time is calculated as follows;

y(4) = 128(4) - 16(4)^2\\\\y(4) = 256 \ ft

Complete the ray diagram and label incident ray, refracted ray, angle of incidence, and angle of refraction ​
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Solution

verified

Verified by Toppr

(a) The labelled diagram is shown.

(b) The refractive index of diamond is 2.42. Refractive index of diamond is the ratio of the speed of light in air to the speed of light in diamond.i.e.,

μ=  

Speedoflightindiamond

Speedoflightinair

​

 

and, the ratio of these velocities is 2.42. i.e., This means that the speed of light in diamond will reduce by a factor of 2.42 as compared to its speed in air. In other words, the speed of light in diamond is  

1/2.42

times the speed of light in vacuum.

Explanation:

a) Draw and label the diagram given :

  (i) Incident ray

  (ii) Refracted ray

  (iii) Emergent ray

  (iv) Angle of reflection

  (v) Angle of deviation

  (v) Angle of emergence

(b) The refractive index of diamond is 2.42. What is the meaning of this statement in relation to speed of light?

An object with a mass of 2.0 kg accelerates 2.0 m/s 2when an unknown force is applied to it. What is the amount of force?
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

4 N

Explanation:

mass = 2 kg

acceleration = 2 m/s^2

Force = mass * acceleration

         = 2 *2

         = 4 N
