<span>T² = 4π²rÂł / GM Solved for r : r = [GMT² / 4π²]â…“ Where G is the universal gravitational constant, M is the mass of the sun, T is the asteroid's period in seconds, and r is the radius of the orbit. Covert 5.00 years to seconds : 5.00years = 5.00years(365days/year)(24.0hours/day)(6... = 1.58 x 10^8s The radius of the orbit then is : r = [(6.67 x 10^-11Nâ™m²/kg²)(1.99 x 10^30kg)(1.58 x 10^8s)² / 4π²]â…“ = 4.38 x 10^11m The orbital speed can be found from the circular velocity formula : v = âš[GM / r] = âš[(6.67 x 10^-11Nâ™m²/kg²)(1.99 x 10^30kg) / 4.38 x 10^11m = 1.74 x 10^4m/s</span>

The rotational inertia I of any given body of mass M about any given axis is equal to the rotational inertia of an equivalent ho
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let mass of cylinder be M

Moment of inertia of cylinder

= 1/2 M R² r is radius of cylinder

If radius of equivalent  hoop be k

Mk² = 1/2 x MR²

k = R / √2

1.2 / 1.414

Radius of gyration = 0.848 m

b )

moment of inertia of spherical shell

= 2 / 3 M R²

Moment of inertia of equivalent hoop

Mk²

So

Mk² = 2 / 3 M R²

k = √2/3 x R

= .816 X 1.2

Radius of gyration = .98 m

c )

Moment of inertia of solid sphere

= 2/5 M R²

Moment of inertia of equivalent hoop

= Mk²

Mk² = 2/5 M R²

k √ 2/5 R

Radius of gyration = .63 R

Describe what a convection current is in how it was material than the earth
Leona [35]
The movement of fluid as a result of differential heating or convection. Earth convection currents refer to the motion of molten rock in the mantle as radioactive decay heats up magma, causing it to rise and driving the global scale flow of magma.
