Verrrrry interesting !
If the moon were replaced by something with a vastly greater mass
but at the same distance, then ...

-- The period of its revolution around the Earth would be much shorter.
That is, it would orbit the Earth in much less than 27.3 days.  We might
see it go through a complete set of phases in 2 weeks, or even 1 week.

-- The ocean tides would be much greater.  Low tides would be
much lower, and high tides would be much higher.

-- Sadly, the land tides, and the forces on the Earth's internal structure,
would also be much greater.  That means great increases in earthquake
and volcanic activity.

-- The Earth and moon both revolve around their common center of
mass. Under the current arrangement ... with the Earth having 80 times
the mass of the Moon ... that point is inside the Earth, and it looks a lot
like the Moon is orbiting a stationary Earth.
When the new body arrives to replace the lightweight Moon, that point
will be a lot closer to the new companion ... maybe even inside it. 
Then, it will look a lot like the monster is the stationary one, and the
Earth is orbiting it.
I actually don't believe that we would SEE that change, or feel it.

Two separate disks are connected by a belt traveling at 5m/s. Disk 1 has a mass of 10kg and radius of 35cm. Disk 2 has a mass of
pantera1 [17]

Explanation:

Given that,

Linear speed of both disks is 5 m/s

Mass of disk 1 is 10 kg

Radius of disk 1 is 35 cm or 0.35 m

Mass of disk 2 is 3 kg

Radius of disk 2 is 7 cm or 0.07 m

(a) The angular velocity of disk 1 is :

v=r_1\omega_1\\\\\omega_1=\dfrac{v}{r_1}\\\\\omega_1=\dfrac{5}{0.35}\\\\\omega_1=14.28\ rad/s

(b) The angular velocity of disk 2 is :

v=r_2\omega_2\\\\\omega_2=\dfrac{v}{r_2}\\\\\omega_2=\dfrac{5}{0.07}\\\\\omega_2=71.42\ rad/s

(c) The moment of inertia for the two disk system is given by :

I=I_1+I_2\\\\I=\dfrac{1}{2}m_1r_1^2+\dfrac{1}{2}m_2r_2^2\\\\I=\dfrac{1}{2}(m_1r_1^2+m_2r_2^2)\\\\I=\dfrac{1}{2}\times (10\times (0.35)^2+3\times (0.07)^2)\\\\I=0.619\ kg-m^2

Hence, this is the required solution.

Two resistors, one with 7.00 Ω of resistance and the other with 11.00 Ω of resistance, are connected in series to a 9.00 V batte
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

4.5 W

Explanation:

Applying,

P = V²/(R₁+R₂).................. Equation 1

Where P = Power, V = Voltage, R₁ and R₂ = values of the two resistor.

From the question,

Given: V = 9.00 V, R₁ = 7.00 Ω, R₂ = 11.00  Ω

Substitute these values into equation 1

P = 9²/(7+11)

P = 81/(18)

P = 4.5 Watt.

Hence the power dessipated by the two resistors is 4.5 watt

Determine the inductance l of a 0.55-m-long air-filled solenoid 2.7 cm in diameter containing 9000 loops.
faltersainse [42]

Self inductance of a solenoid does not depend on magnetic field or current. When deriving the equation you can see that its self inductance is only dependent on geometric factors

A 1200 kg elevator accelerated upwards at 2 m/s2. Draw a force diagram for the elevator. Calculate the force of tension in the c
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

4800

Explanation:

You have to multiply the 1200 kg and the 2 m/s2. Then multiply the other 2 by the 2400 because it was the answer to the first part now after you multiply your answer is 4800.
