As a moon follows its orbit around a planet, the maximum gravitational force exerted on the moon by the planet exceeds the minim

um gravitational force by 12.7%. Find the ratio rmax/rmin, where rmax is the moon's maximum distance from the center of the planet and rmin is the minimum distance.

Answer:

rmax/rmin = √1.127

Explanation:

F = GmM / r²

As the masses can be assumed to be constant, the force between the two is proportional to the inverse of the square of the distance between them

(Fmax - Fmin) / Fmin = 0.127

           (Fmax - Fmin) = 0.127Fmin

       1/rmin² - 1/rmax² = 0.127(1/rmax²)

                      1/rmin² = 0.127(1/rmax²) + 1/rmax²

                      1/rmin² = 1.127(1/rmax²)

              rmax²/rmin² = 1.127

                 rmax/rmin = √1.127 ≈ 1.06160256...

In uniform circular motion, which of the following are constant:Check all that apply.Check all that apply.the speed is constantt
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

The speed, magnitude of the velocity, magnitude of the angular velocity, magnitude of the centripetal acceleration, magnitude of the net force and direction of the angular velocity are constant.

Explanation:

In uniform circular motion we have a centripetal acceleration of constant magnitude but changing direction (since it points to the center of the circle from the object). The same goes for the net (centripetal) force since F=ma. This makes the magnitude of the velocity (speed) constant but its direction changes, although keeping spinning in the same direction, which makes its angular velocity constant in both magnitude and direction.
