Answer

From

V=Distance/time

The distance round a circular path or Object is 2πr

v=2πr/T

Making T(period) subject

T=2πr/v

where v is the linear velocity.

We don't have the velocity but we can get it.

The Moon and Earth exert gravitational force on each other and the Moon is kept in Orbit by Centripetal force.

Since the Moon doesn't fly out of Orbit... it must mean that the Gravitational force being exerted on it by the Earth is equal to its centripetal Force.

Equating Both (Fg=Fc)

Fg=GMm/R²

Fc=mv²/r

GMm/R² = mv²/R

Canceling out "m" and "r" on both sides

we're left with

V²=GM/R

V=√GM/R

Where M= Mass of Earth (5.98x10^24)

R=Distance between the center of earth and the Moon

G= Gravitational Constant(Value 6.67x10^-11)

V=√6.67x10^-11 x 5.98x10^24/(3.82x10^8)

V=1021.84meters per second.

Now

T=2πr/v

=2π x 3.82x10^8 / 1021.84

T=2.35x10^6seconds

Converting to days by dividing by(24 x 3600)

You have

T=27.2days approx.

What is the pressure drop due to the Bernoulli Effect as water goes into a 3.00-cm-diameter nozzle from a 9.00-cm-diameter fire

Marianna [84]

Answer:

The pressure and maximum height are $1.58\times10^{6}\ N/m^2$ and 161.22 m respectively.

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter = 3.00 cm

Exit diameter = 9.00 cm

Flow = 40.0 L/s²

We need to calculate the pressure

Using Bernoulli effect

$P_{1}+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{1}^2+\rho g h_{1}=P_{2}+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{2}^2+\rho g h_{2}$

When two point are at same height so ,

$P_{1}+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{1}^2=P_{2}+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{2}^2$ ....(I)

Firstly we need to calculate the velocity

Using continuity equation

For input velocity,

$Q=A_{1}v_{1}$

$v_{1}=\dfrac{Q}{A_{1}}$

$v_{1}=\dfrac{40.0\times10^{-3}}{\pi\times(1.5\times10^{-2})^2}$

$v_{1}=56.58\ m/s$

For output velocity,

$v_{2}=\dfrac{40.0\times10^{-3}}{\pi\times(4.5\times10^{-2})^2}$

$v_{2}=6.28\ m/s$

Put the value into the formula

$P_{1}-P_{2}=\dfrac{1}{2}\rho(v_{1}^2-v_{2}^2)$

$\Delta P=\dfrac{1}{2}\times1000\times(56.58^2-6.28^2)$

$\Delta P=1.58\times10^{6}\ N/m^2$

(b). We need to calculate the maximum height

Using formula of height

$\Delta P=\rho g h$

Put the value into the formula

$1.58\times10^{6}=1000\times9.8\times h$

$h=\dfrac{1.58\times10^{6}}{1000\times9.8}$

$h=161.22\ m$

Hence, The pressure and maximum height are $1.58\times10^{6}\ N/m^2$ and 161.22 m respectively.

The stopwatch will be the most useful in determining the kinetic energy of a 50 g battery- powered car traveling a distance of 10 m.

<h3>What is kinetic energy?</h3>

Kinetic energy is the energy of a body possessed due to motion.

This means that for an object to possess kinetic energy, it must be in motion.

The kinetic energy is measured in Joules, which is a product of the mass of the substance and the time taken to travel a distance.

A stopwatch is an instrument used to measure time as one of the components of kinetic energy.

Therefore, the stopwatch will be the most useful in determining the kinetic energy of a 50 g battery- powered car traveling a distance of 10 m.

A 1.70 m tall woman stands 5.00 m in front of a camera with a 50.00 cm focal

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

18.89cm

Explanation:

As we know that the person is standing 5m in front of the camera

$d_0=5m=500cm$

The focal length of the lens =50cm

f=50 cm

By Lens formula we have:

$\dfrac{1}{f} = \dfrac{1}{d_i} + \dfrac{1}{d_o}\\\dfrac{1}{50} = \dfrac{1}{d_i} + \dfrac{1}{500}\\\dfrac{1}{d_i} =\dfrac{1}{50}-\dfrac{1}{500}\\\dfrac{1}{d_i}=0.018\\d_i=55.56cm$

By the formula of magnification

$\dfrac{h_i}{h_o} = \dfrac{55.56}{500}\\\\h_i = \dfrac{55.56}{500} \times h_o\\\\ h_o=1.70m=170cm\\\\Therefore: h_i=\dfrac{55.56}{500} \times$ 170 cm\\\\h_i =18.89 cm$

The height of the image formed is 18.89cm.
