A space expedition discovers a planetary system consisting of a massive star and several spherical planets. The planets all have

the same uniform mass density. The orbit of each planet is circular.
In the observed planetary system, Planet A orbits the central star at the distance of 2R and takes T hours to complete one revolution around the star. Planet B orbits the central star at the distance of R. Which of the following expressions is correct for the number of hours it takes Planet B to complete one revolution around the star?

a. 1/â8T
b. 1/2T
c. 1/3â4T
d. 2T
e. â8T

Answer:

T/√8

Explanation:

From Kepler's law, T² ∝ R³ where T = period of planet and R = radius of planet.

For planet A, period = T and radius = 2R.

For planet B, period = T' and radius = R.

So, T²/R³ = k

So, T²/(2R)³ = T'²/R³

T'² = T²R³/(2R)³

T'² = T²/8

T' = T/√8

So, the number of hours it takes Planet B to complete one revolution around the star is T/√8

A wave has a velocity of 24 m/s and a period of 3.0 s. Calculate the wavelength of the wave.
Katyanochek1 [597]

Velocity (unit:m/s) of the wave is given with the formula:

v=f∧,

where f is the frequency which tells us how many waves are passing a point per second (unit: Hz) and ∧ is the wavelength, which tells us the length of those waves in metres (unit:m)

f=1/T , where T is the period of the wave.

In our case: f=1/3

∧=v/f=24m/s/1/3=24*3=72m

A tall, open container is full of glycerine. At what depth h below the surface of the glycerine is the pressure 2370 Pa greater
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

So, at the depth of 24 cm below the surface of the glycerine the pressure is  2970 Pa. Hence, this is the required solution.

Explanation:

Given that,

Pressure exerted by the surface of glycerine, P = 2970 Pa and it is greater than atmospheric pressure.

The density of glycerine,  

We need to find the depth h below the surface of the glycerine. The pressure due to some depth is given by :

h = 0.24 meters

or

h = 24 cm

alexdok [17]

Answer:

A tornado can, surprisingly, cause a supercell, so the answer would be C.) tornado

Explanation:

When cold, dry, and polar air meet warm, moist tropical air, the atmosphere becomes unstable causing a supercell.

Final Answer:

C.) tornado

slava [35]

Answer:

f=-1380N

Explanation:

A karate master wants to break a board by hitting the board swiftly with his hand. The master's hand has a mass of 0.30 kg, and as it strikes the board, his hand has a velocity of 23.3 m/s. The master contacts the board for 0.0050 seconds

.the concluding part to the question should be

What is the impact force (impulse) on the board?

solution

from the Newton's second law of motion which states that

the rate of change in momentum is directly proportional to the force applied

f=m(v-u)/t

f=0.3(0-23.3)/0.005

f=-1380N

f=force impact

m=mass of the karates master's hand

t=time for the impact

v=0m/s final velocity

u=initial velocity
