Why is the solar system commonly represented as a scale model?

Physics

topjm [15]3 years ago

The actual size of the Solar system is too big to show without making a much smaller model. If someone wants to see the orientation of the planets a model has to be made so we can see it without flying out too space.

A satellite that goes around the earth once every 24 hours (86,400 s) is called a geosynchronous satellite. If a geosynchronous
Olegator [25]

Answer:

42244138.951 m

Explanation:

G = Gravitational constant = 6.667 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

r = Radius of orbit from center of earth

M = Mass of Earth = 5.98 × 10²⁴ kg

m = Mass of Satellite

The satellite revolves around the Earth at a constant speed

Speed = Distance / Time

The distance is the perimeter of the orbit

v=\frac{2\pi \times r}{24\times 3600}

The Centripetal force of the satellite is balanced by the universal gravitational force

m\frac{v^2}{r}=\frac{GMm}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow \frac{\left(\frac{2\pi \times r}{24\times 3600}\right)^2}{r}=\frac{6.667\times 10^{-11}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow \left(\frac{2\pi \times r}{24\times 3600}\right)^2=6.667\times 10^{-11}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}\\\Rightarrow r^3=\frac{6.667\times 10^{-11}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}\times (24\times 3600)^2}{(2\pi)^2}\\\Rightarrow r=\left(\frac{6.667\times 10^{-11}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}\times (24\times 3600)^2}{(2\pi)^2}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}\\\Rightarrow r=42244138.951\ m

The radius as measured from the center of the Earth) of the orbit of a geosynchronous satellite that circles the earth is 42244138.951 m

The diameter of a copper atom is approximately 2.28e-10 m. The massof one mole of copper is 64 grams. Assume that the atoms area
KIM [24]

1) Mass of one copper atom: 1.063\cdot 10^{-22} kg

2) There are 9.33\cdot 10^{24} atoms in the cube

3) Mass of the cubical block: 992 kg

Explanation:

1)

We are told here that the mass of one mole of copper is

M=64 g

for

n=1 mol (number of moles)

We also know that the number of atoms inside 1 mole of substance is equal to Avogadro number:

N_A = 6.022\cdot 10^{23}

This means that N_A atoms of copper have a mass of M = 64 g. Therefore, we can find the mass of one copper atom by dividing the total mass by the avogadro number:

m=\frac{M}{N_A}=\frac{64}{6.022\cdot 10^{23}}=1.063\cdot 10^{-22} kg

2)

We are told that the diameter of a copper atom is

d=2.28\cdot 10^{-10} m

We can assume that the atoms are arranged in a cube, and that they are all attached to each other; so the side of the cube can be written as size of one atom multiplied by the number of atom per side:

L=Nd

where

N is the number of atoms (rows) in one side of the cube

Since the side of the cube is

L = 4.8 cm = 0.048 m

We find N:

N=\frac{L}{d}=\frac{0.048}{2.28\cdot 10^{-10}}=2.11\cdot 10^8

This is the number of atom rows per side; therefore, the total number of atoms in the cube is

N^3=(2.11\cdot 10^8)^3=9.33\cdot 10^{24}

3)

The total mass of the cubical block of copper will be given by the mass of one atom of copper multiplied by the total number of atoms, so:

M= N^3 m

where:

N^3 = 9.33\cdot 10^{24} is the number of atoms in the cube

m=1.063\cdot 10^{-22} kg is the mass of one atom

Therefore, substituting, we find:

M=(9.33\cdot 10^{24})(1.063\cdot 10^{-22})=992 kg

So, the mass of the cubical block is 992 kg.

a sound pulse emitted underwater reflects off a school of fish and is detected at the same place 0.01 s later. how far away are
andrew-mc [135]
In fresh water sound waves travel at 1497m/s at 25 degrees, I'll assume that's the characteristics of the water.

If it's 0.01s then you need to divide the speed by 100 to get the, 14.97, however it gets there and back in that time so you need to halve it.

A balloon is ascending at 12.4m/s at a height of 81.3m above the ground when a package is dropped. a) How long did it take to re
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

3secs

Explanation:

Given the following parameters

height H= 81.3m

Velocity v = 12.4m/s

Required

Time it take to reach the ground

Using the equation of motion

H = ut+1/2gt²

81.3 = 12.4t + 1/2(9.8)t²

81.3 = 12.4t + 4.9t²

4.9t² + 12.4t - 81.3 = 0

Using the general formula to find t

t = -12.4±√12.4²-4(4.9)(-81.3)/2(4.9)

t = -12.4±√153.76+1593.48/2(4.9)

t = -12.4±√1747.24/9.8

t = -12.4+41.8/9.8

t = 29.4/9.8

t = 3secs

Hence it took 3secs to reach the ground
