This year Venus was slim crescent in March when the Earth-Venus was about L=42*10^6 km  (the minimum distance)
To find its angular diameter we apply the trigonometry
\tan \alpha = D/L
where D=21000 km is the planet diameter and L is the distance to the planet. For small angles we consider
\tan \alpha \approx \alpha
Thus the angular diameter of venus when it was slim crescent was
\alpha =D/L =21000/(42*10^6) =2.9*10^{-4} rad
In degrees this is 
\beta =\alpha*180/\pi = 0.0167 degree
We know that 3600 seconds correspond to 1 degree. Therefore
1''=1/3600 =2.8*10^{-4} degree
Hence
\beta = 0.0167/2.8*10^{-4} =60.12''

Therefore the angular diameter of Venus when it was slim crescent was 60''.

aksik [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Answer:

4.53 kg

Explanation:

spring constant, K = 16 N/m

Amplitude, A = 20 cm = 0.2 m

Maximum speed, v = 37.6 cm/s = 0.376 m/s

The formula for maximum speed is given by

v = ωA

where, ω is the angular frequency

0.376 = ω x 0.2

ω = 1.88 rad/s

\omega =\sqrt{\frac{K}{m}}

m = \frac{K}{\omega ^{2}}

m = \frac{16}{1.88 ^{2}}

m = 4.53 kg

Thus, the mass of banana bunch is 4.53 kg.

Explain the interaction between centripetal force and inertia and what kind of motion this interaction causes.
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

Inertia is an object's tendency to keep moving in a straight line unless acted on by an outside force. Centripetal force causes an object to constantly change direction, so the combination of centripetal force and inertia causes an object to move in a circle. Hope it helps and your cute by the way

german

Answer:

 F = 1.047 10⁻² N

Explanation:

Let's use kinematics to find the angular acceleration

             w = w₀ + α t

as for rest w₀ = 0

             w = α t

             α = w / t

let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

              w = 1000 rev / min (2π rad/ 1 rev) (1 min/ 60s) = 104.72 rad / s

              m = 1.00 g (1 kg / 1000 g) = 1,000 10⁻³ kg

              r = 10.0 cm (1 m / 100 cm) = 0.100 m

let's calculate

              α = 104.72 / 1

              α = 104.72 rad / s²

angular and linear variables are related

               a = α  r

               a = 104.72 0.100

               a = 10.47 m / s²

finally we substitute in Newton's second law

               F = 1 10⁻³ 10.47

               F = 1.047 10⁻² N
