Answer:

0.641 seconds

Explanation:

Distance (d) = 1.0 km

Using the relation :

Speed = distance / time

Time = distance / speed

Speed of sound in seawater is about 1560 m/s

Distance = 1.0km =

1km = 1000m

Time = 1000 / 1560

Time = 0.6410256

Time = 0.641 s

Suppose an asteroid had an orbit with a semimajor axis of 4 au. how long would it take for it to orbit once around the sun?
Nitella [24]

It would take <u> 8 years </u> for the asteroid to orbit once around the sun.

What is a semimajor axis?

  • In geometry, the major axis of an ellipse is its longest diameter: a line segment that runs through the center and both foci, with ends at the two most widely separated points of the perimeter.
  • The semi-major axis (major semiaxis) is the longest semidiameter or one half of the major axis, and thus runs from the centre, through a focus, and to the perimeter.
  • The semi-major axis of a hyperbola is, depending on the convention, plus or minus one half of the distance between the two branches.
  • Thus it is the distance from the center to either vertex of the hyperbola.
  • In astronomy, the semi-major axis is one of the most important orbital elements of an orbit, along with its orbital period.
  • For Solar System objects, the semi-major axis is related to the period of the orbit by Kepler's third law.

How are density and pressure related related to each other?
lawyer [7]

Answer:

The pressure is the measure of force acting on a unit area. Density is the measure of how closely any given entity is packed, or it is the ratio of the mass of the entity to its volume. The relation between pressure and density is direct. Change in pressure will be reflected in a change in density

A) Charge q1 = +5.60 nC is on the x-axis at x = 0 and an unknown charge q2 is on the x-axis at x = -4.00 cm. The total electric
jeka94

Answer:

a) F₃₁ = 63.0 μN  

b) F₃₂ = - 14.0 μN

c) q₂ = - 5.0 nC

Explanation:

a)

  • Assuming that the three charges can be taken as point charges, the forces between them must obey Coulomb's Law, and can be found independent each other, applying the superposition principle.
  • So, we can find the force that q₁ exerts along the x-axis on q₃, as follows:

       F_{31} =\frac{k*q_{1}*q_{3} }{r_{13}^{2}} = \frac{9e9Nm2/C2*5.6e-9C*2.0e-9C}{(0.04m)^{2}}  = 63.0 \mu N   (1)

b)

  • Since total force exerted by q₁ and q₂ on q₃ is 49.0 μN, we can find the force exerted only by q₂ (which is along the x-axis only too) just by difference, as follows:

      F_{32} = F_{3} - F_{31}  = 49.0\mu N  - 63.0\mu N = -14.0 \mu N  (2)

c)

  • Finally, in order to find the value of q₂, as we know the value and sign of F₃₂, we can apply again the Coulomb's Law, solving for q₂, as follows:

      q_{2}  = \frac{F_{32} * r_{23}^{2} }{k*q_{3}} = \frac{(-14\mu N)*(0.08m)^{2}}{9e9Nm2/C2* 2 nC} = - 5 nC  (3)
