Explanation:

The torque $\tau$ is given by

$\tau=Fd = (65\:\text{lbs})(\frac{8}{12}\:\text{ft}) = 43.3\:\text{lbs-ft}$

I think you need more information like the force of gravity and the force of the three people. Once you combine the two, however, you should get the net force.

Which of the following methods has led to the earliest discoveries of massive planets orbiting near their parent stars a. detect

Mrac [35]

Answer:

c. detecting the gravitational effect of an orbiting planet (The Wobble"") by looking for the Doppler shifts in the star's spectrum

Explanation:

In a solar system the mass of the star and planets affect each other's orbital movements. The center of gravity of a star and a planet is inside the star. This causes the star to be closer and farther from the Earth at different times. Due to this wobble the star appears to be red shifted when it is farther and blue shifted when it is closer.

When the mass of the planet is high, like a hot Jupiter it causes more wobble i.e., change in radial velocity. This makes it easier to detect the planet. The earliest hot Jupiter found by this method is the planet 51 Pegasi b.

A car with mass m traveling at speed v has kinetic energy k. what is the kinetic energy of a second car that has the same mass m

vampirchik [111]

Kinetic energy, KE, is modeled by the formula $KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$ , where m is the mass in kg and v is the velocity in m/s.

In this scenario, mass and one-half are constant but the velocity changes.

You can see that by squaring twice the velocity, that is equal to four times the original KE. Therefore, the answer is 4k.

An object of mass m is traveling in a circle with centripetal force Fc. If the velocity of the object is v, what is the radius o

borishaifa [10]

Hi there!

Recall the equation for centripetal force:
$F_c = \frac{mv^2}{r}$

We can rearrange the equation to solve for 'r'.

Multiply both sides by r:
$r * F_c = mv^2$

Divide both sides by Fc:
$\boxed{ r= \frac{mv^2}{F_c}}$
