Answer:

The ratio of their orbital speeds are 5:4.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of A = 5 m

Mass of B = 7 m

Radius of A = 4 r

Radius of B = 7 r

The orbital speed of satellite A,

$v_{A}=\sqrt{\dfrac{GM_{A}}{R_{A}}}$ ......(I)

The orbital speed of satellite B,

$v_{B}=\sqrt{\dfrac{GM_{B}}{R_{B}}}$ ......(I)

We need to calculate the ratio of their orbital speeds

Using equation (I) and (II)

$\dfrac{v_{A}}{v_{B}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{\dfrac{GM_{A}}{R_{A}}}{\dfrac{GM_{B}}{R_{B}}}}$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{v_{A}}{v_{B}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{G\times5m\times7r}{G\times7m\times4r}}$

$\dfrac{v_{A}}{v_{B}}=\dfrac{5}{4}$

Hence, The ratio of their orbital speeds are 5:4.

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

$8.37*10^5$ rpm

Explanation:

Given that rotational kinetic energy = $4.66*10^9J$

Mass of the fly wheel (m) = 19.7 kg

Radius of the fly wheel (r) = 0.351 m

Moment of inertia (I) = $\frac{1}{2} mr ^2$

Rotational K.E is illustrated as $(K.E)_{rt} = \frac{1}{2} I \omega^2$

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{2(K.E)_{rt}}{I} }$

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{2(KE)_{rt}}{1/2 mr^2} }$

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{4(K.E)_{rt}}{mr^2} }$

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{4*4.66*10^9J}{19.7kg*(0.351)^2} }$

$\omega = 87636.04$

$\omega = 8.76*10^4 rad/s$

Since 1 rpm = $\frac{2 \pi}{60} rad/s$

$\omega = 8.76*10^4(\frac{60}{2 \pi})$

$\omega = 836518.38$

$\omega = 8.37 *10^5 rpm$

Meter #1 can measure voltage to within 0.1 volts. Meter #2 can measure voltage to within 0.01 volts.

Ann [662]

Meter #2 is more precise.

There's no information here that tells us which meter is more accurate.

A block of mass 9.2kg rests on a slope an angle of 26.9∘ relative to the horizontal. What is the size of the contact force norma

Olegator [25]

Answer:

80.4 N

Explanation:

As the block is at rest on the slope, it means that all the forces acting on it are balanced.

We are only interested in the forces that act on the block along the direction perpendicular to the slope. Along this direction, we have two forces acting on the block:

- The normal reaction N (contact force), upward

- The component of the weight of the block, $mg cos \theta$ , downward, where m is the mass of the block, g is the gravitational acceleration and $\theta$ is the angle of the incline

Since the block is in equilibrium along this direction, the two forces must balance each other, so they must be equal in magnitude:

$N=mg cos \theta$

And by substituting the numbers into the equation, we find the size of the contact force normal to the slope:

$N=(9.2 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(cos 26.9^{\circ})=80.4 N$

· A car moves at 12 m/s and coasts up a hill with a

Zigmanuir [339]

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of a car, u = 12 m/s

Aceleration, a = -1.6 m/s²

(a) The displacement of car after 6 seconds is :

$d=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\\d=12\times 6+\dfrac{1}{2}\times (-1.6)\times 6^2\\\\d=43.2\ m$

(b) The displacement of the car after 9 seconds is :

$d=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\\d=12\times 9+\dfrac{1}{2}\times (-1.6)\times 9^2\\\\d=43.2\ m$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Calculate the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by the Moon on a 79 kg human standing on the surface of the Moon. (Th

Luden [163]

Answer:

F= 134.92 N

Explanation:

Given that

The mass of the moon ,M = 7.4 x 10²² kg

The mass of the man ,m = 79 kg

The radius ,R= 1.7 x 10⁶ m

The force exerted by moon is given as

$F=G\dfrac{Mm}{R^2}$

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

$F=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times \dfrac{79\times 7.4\times 10^{22}}{(1.7\times 10^6)^2}\ N\\F=134.92 N$

Therefore the force will be 134.92 N.

F= 134.92 N
