An asteroid is discovered in a nearly circular orbit around the Sun, with an orbital radius that is 3.570 times Earth's. What is

inysia [295]

Explanation:

Given:

$r_a = 3.570R_E$

$R_E = 1.499×10^{11}\:\text{m}$

$M_S = 1.989×10^{30}\:\text{kg}$

$G = 6.674×10^{-11}\:\text{N-m}^2\text{/kg}^2$

Let $m_s$ = mass of the asteroid and $r_a$ = orbital radius of the asteroid around the sun. The centripetal force $F_c$ is equal to the gravitational force $F_G:$

$F_c = F_G \Rightarrow m_a\dfrac{v_a^2}{r_a} = G\dfrac{m_aM_S}{r_a^2}$

$\dfrac{4\pi^2 r_a}{T^2} = G\dfrac{M_S}{r_a^2}$

where

$v = \dfrac{2\pi r_a}{T}$

with T = period of orbit. Rearranging the variables, we get

$T^2 = \dfrac{4\pi^2 r_a^3}{GM_S}$

Taking the square root,

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{r_a^3}{GM_S}}$

$\:\:\:\:=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{(3.57(1.499×10^{11}\:\text{m}))^3}{(6.674×10^{-11}\:\text{N-m}^2\text{/kg}^2)(1.989×10^{30}\:\text{kg})}}$

$\:\:\:\:= 2.13×10^8\:\text{s} = 6.75\:\text{years}$

It has been a hot summer, so when you arrive at a lake, you decide to go for a swim even though it it nighttime. The water is co

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

(d) Water has a high specific heat.

Explanation:

At night, when the temperature of earth goes down due to loss of heat , the temperature of water is lost slowly and temperature of land is lost fast because of high specific heat of water . Water loses as well as gains temperature comparatively slowly due to its high specific heat .

During daytime when earth gains heat , the temperature of land rises more rapidly than water so water appears cool even during daytime when land becomes hotter . It is also due to high heat holding capacity of water or due to high specific heat of water .

The distance between the first and fifth minima of a single-slit diffraction pattern is 0.500 mm with the screen 37.0 cm away fr

WARRIOR [948]

In the single-slit experiment, the displacement of the minima of the diffraction pattern on the screen is given by
$y_n= \frac{n \lambda D}{a}$ (1)
where
n is the order of the minimum
y is the displacement of the nth-minimum from the center of the diffraction pattern
$\lambda$ is the light's wavelength
D is the distance of the screen from the slit
a is the width of the slit

In our problem,
$D=37.0 cm=0.37 m$
$\lambda=530 nm=5.3 \cdot 10^{-7} m$
while the distance between the first and the fifth minima is
$y_5-y_1 = 0.500 mm=0.5 \cdot 10^{-3} m$ (2)

If we use the formula to rewrite $y_5, y_1$ , eq.(2) becomes
$\frac{5 \lambda D}{a} - \frac{1 \lambda D}{a} =\frac{4 \lambda D}{a}= 0.5 \cdot 10^{-3} m$
Which we can solve to find a, the width of the slit:
$a= \frac{4 \lambda D}{0.5 \cdot 10^{-3} m}= \frac{4 (5.3 \cdot 10^{-7} m)(0.37 m)}{0.5 \cdot 10^{-3} m}= 1.57 \cdot 10^{-3} m=1.57 mm$
