Answer:

Without any external forces a moving object will continue to move in a straight line. The gravitational force between the two objects will provide the centripetal force to keep the objects moving around one another.

1. satellite in orbit around the earth             (motion of earth is negligible)

2. moon in orbit around the earth     (center of motion several thousand miles        

                                                             from center of earth)

3. earth in orbit around sun    (center of rotation close to center of sun)

4. binary stars         (if masses of stars are equal center of rotation is in middle)

A boy shoves his stuffed toy zebra down a frictionless chute. It starts at a height of 1.69 m above the bottom of the chute with
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

x = 6.94 m

Explanation:

For this exercise we can find the speed at the bottom of the ramp using energy conservation

Starting point. Higher

            Em₀ = K + U = ½ m v₀² + m g h

Final point. Lower

            Em_{f} = K = ½ m v²

            Em₀ = Em_{f}

            ½ m v₀² + m g h = ½ m v²

            v² = v₀² + 2 g h

             

Let's calculate

             v = √(1.23² + 2 9.8 1.69)

             v = 5.89 m / s

In the horizontal part we can use the relationship between work and the variation of kinetic energy

            W = ΔK

            -fr x = 0- ½ m v²  

               

Newton's second law

              N- W = 0

     

The equation for the friction is

               fr = μ N

               fr = μ m g

We replace

             μ m g x = ½ m v²

             x = v² / 2μ g

Let's calculate

            x = 5.89² / (2 0.255 9.8)

            x = 6.94 m

The time period T of a simple pendulum is given by the relation
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

T^2 \propto L

Explanation:

The period of a simple pendulum is given by:

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

where

L is the length of the pendulum

g is the acceleration of gravity

From this equation we can write

T\propto \sqrt{L}\\T\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{g}}

Taking the square of this equation, we get:

T^2 = (2\pi)^2 \frac{L}{g}

So we see that T^2 is proportional to L and inversely proportional to g. So, we can write:

T^2 \propto L\\T^2 \propto \frac{1}{g}

So the only correct option is

T^2 \propto L

Assume that a satellite orbits mars 150km above its surface. Given that the mass of mars is 6.485 X 10^23kg, and the radius of m
Kisachek [45]
<span>3598 seconds The orbital period of a satellite is u=GM p = sqrt((4*pi/u)*a^3) Where p = period u = standard gravitational parameter which is GM (gravitational constant multiplied by planet mass). This is a much better figure to use than GM because we know u to a higher level of precision than we know either G or M. After all, we can calculate it from observations of satellites. To illustrate the difference, we know GM for Mars to within 7 significant figures. However, we only know G to within 4 digits. a = semi-major axis of orbit. Since we haven't been given u, but instead have been given the much more inferior value of M, let's calculate u from the gravitational constant and M. So u = 6.674x10^-11 m^3/(kg s^2) * 6.485x10^23 kg = 4.3281x10^13 m^3/s^2 The semi-major axis of the orbit is the altitude of the satellite plus the radius of the planet. So 150000 m + 3.396x10^6 m = 3.546x10^6 m Substitute the known values into the equation for the period. So p = sqrt((4 * pi / u) * a^3) p = sqrt((4 * 3.14159 / 4.3281x10^13 m^3/s^2) * (3.546x10^6 m)^3) p = sqrt((12.56636 / 4.3281x10^13 m^3/s^2) * 4.458782x10^19 m^3) p = sqrt(2.9034357x10^-13 s^2/m^3 * 4.458782x10^19 m^3) p = sqrt(1.2945785x10^7 s^2) p = 3598.025212 s Rounding to 4 significant figures, gives us 3598 seconds.</span>
