Answer:

The ratio of T2 to T1 is 1.0

Explanation:

The gravitational force exerted on each sphere by the sun is inversely proporational to the square of the distance between the sun and each of the spheres.

Provided that the two spheres have the same radius r, the pressure of solar radiation too, is inversely proportional to the square of the distance of each sphere from the sun.

Let F₁ and F₂ = gravitational force of the sun on the first and second sphere respectively

P₁ and P₂ = Pressure of solar radiation on the first and second sphere respectively

M = mass of the Sun

m = mass of the spheres, equal masses.

For the first sphere that is distance R from the sun.

F₁ = (GmM/R²)

P₁ = (k/R²)

T₁ = (F₁/P₁) = (GmM/k)

For the second sphere that is at a distance 2R from the sun

F₂ = [GmM/(2R)²] = (GmM/4R²)

P₂ = [k/(2R)²] = (k/4R²)

T₂ = (F₂/P₂) = (GmM/k)

(T₁/T₂) = (GmM/k) ÷ (GmM/k) = 1.0

Hope this Helps!!!

a projectile is lunched with an initial speed of 60.0mm/s at an angle of 30.0° above the horizontal.The projectile lands on a hi
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

52 mm/s (approximately)

Explanation:

Given:

Initial speed of the projectile is, u=60.0\ mm/s

Angle of projection is, \theta=30.0\°

Time taken to land on the hill is, t=4\ s

In a projectile motion, there is acceleration only in the vertical direction which is equal to acceleration due to gravity acting vertically downward. There is no acceleration in the horizontal direction.

So, the velocity in the horizontal direction always remains the same.

The horizontal component of initial velocity is given as:

u_x=u\cos\theta\\u_x=60\times \cos(30)\\u_x=30\sqrt3\approx52\ mm/s

Now, the velocity in the vertical direction goes on decreasing and becomes 0 at the highest point of the trajectory. So, at the highest point, only horizontal component acts.

Therefore, the projectile's velocity at the highest point of its trajectory is equal to the horizontal component of initial velocity and thus is equal to 52 mm/s.

A 35-gram stainless steel ball on a track is moving at a velocity of 9 m/s. On the same track, a 75-gram stainless steel ball is
elena-s [515]

Answer:

4.2 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved.

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

(35 g) (9 m/s) + (75 g) (-7 m/s) = (35 g) (-15 m/s) + (75 g) v

315 g m/s − 525 g m/s = -525 g m/s + (75 g) v

315 g m/s = (75 g) v

v = 4.2 m/s
