Planet geos in orbit a distance of 1

Physics
2 answers:
AfilCa [17]3 years ago

Answer:

8 years

Explanation:

Kepler's third law states that the ratio between the cube of the distance of a planet from its star and the square of its orbital period is constant for all the planets orbiting around that star:

\frac{d^3}{T^2}=const.

where d is the distance of the planet from the star and T is the orbital period.

By applying this law to the two planets of this problem, we can write

\frac{d_g^3}{T_g^2}=\frac{d_L^3}{T_L^2}

where d_g=1 AU is the distance of geos from the star, T_g=1 y is its orbital period, d_L=4 AU is the distance of logos from the star. Re-arranging the equation , we can find T_L, the orbital period of logos around the star:

T_L=\sqrt{\frac{T_g^2 d_L^3}{d_Lg^3}}=\sqrt{\frac{(1 y)^2 (4 AU)^3}{(1 AU)^3}}=\sqrt{4^3}=8 years

Planet Geos in orbit a distance of 1 A.U. (astronomical unit) from the star Astra has an orbital period of 1 "year." If planet Logos is 4 A.U. from Astra, how long does Logos require for a complete orbit?

An object is allowed to fall freely near the surface of a planet. The object has an acceleration due to gravity of 24 m/s2. How
Alborosie

Answer:

12 m

Explanation:

The object is in uniformly accelerated motion, so the distance covered can be found using the following suvat equation:

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where

s is the distance

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

a is the acceleration

For this problem,

g=24 m/s^2

and

u = 0, since we are considering the first second of motion

So, substituting t = 1 s, we find

s=0+\frac{1}{2}(24)(1)^2=12 m

A 20 kg truck drives in a circle of radius 4 m at 10m/s. What is the centripetal acceleration of the truck?
asambeis [7]

Answer:

B. 25 m/s/s

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration is the square of the tangential velocity divided by the radius of curvature.

a = v² / r

Given v = 10 m/s and r = 4 m:

a = (10 m/s)² / 4 m

a = 25 m/s²

Susan, driving north at 53 mphmph , and Shawn, driving east at 63 mphmph , are approaching an intersection. Part A What is Shawn
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Shawn's speed relative to Susan's speed = 10 mph

Resultant velocity = 82.32 mph

Explanation:

The given data :-

i) Susan driving in north and speed of Susan is ( v₁ ) = 53 mph.

ii) Shawn driving in east and speed of Shawn is ( v₂ ) = 63 mph.

iii) The speed of both Susan and Shawn is relative to earth.

iv) The angle between Susan in north and Shawn in east is 90°.

We have to find Shawn's speed relative to Susan's speed.

v₂₁ = v₂ - v₁   = 63 - 53 = 10 mph

Resultant velocity,

v = \sqrt{v_{2} ^{2}+ v_{1} ^{2}  }  =\sqrt{63^{2} +53^{2} }

v = 82.32 mph

You are planning to make an open rectangular box from an 8-inch by 15-inch piece of cardboard by cutting congruent squares from
Phoenix [80]

Let us say that x is the cut that we will make on the sides to make a box, therefore the new dimensions are:

l = 15 – 2x

w = 8 – 2x

It is 2x since we cut on two sides.

 

We know that volume is:

V = l w x

V = (15 – 2x) (8 – 2x) x

V = 120x – 30x^2 – 16x^2 + 4x^3

V = 120x – 46x^2 + 4x^3

 

Taking the 1st derivative:

dV/dx = 120 – 92x + 12x^2

 

Set dV/dx = 0 to get maxima:

120 – 92x + 12x^2 = 0

 

Divide by 12:

x^2 – (92/12)x + 10 = 0

(x – (92/24))^2 = -10 + (92/24)^2

x - 92/24 = ±2.17

x = 1.66, 6

We cannot have x = 6 because that will make our w negative, so:

x = 1.66 inches

 

So the largest volume is:

V = 120x – 46x^2 + 4x^3

V = 120(1.66) – 46(1.66)^2 + 4(1.66)^3

V = 90.74 cubic inches

Energy transformations when you cook sausages on a campfire burning wood
Rina8888 [55]

<span>Actually in this case heat energy is being transferred. Heat energy or thermal energy is transferred from the burning of wood to the sausages for it to be cooked. The sausage is being heated by the fire and is absorbing the heat or thermal energy.</span>
