Answer:

The percentage of the submerged wood is 13%.

Explanation:

Given;

density of the Balsa wood, $\rho _{wood}$ = 130 kg/m³

density of pure water, $\rho_{water}$ = 1000 kg/m³

The percentage of the submerged wood is calculated as;

$Percentage \ of \ submerged \ wood = \frac{130 \ kg/m^3}{1000 \ kg/m^3} \ \times \ 100 \% \\\\Percentage \ of \ submerged \ wood = 13 \ \%$

Therefore, the percentage of the submerged wood is 13%.

In the simplified version of Kepler's third law, P 2 = a3, the units of the orbital period P and the semimajor axis a of the ell

Orlov [11]

Answer:

The units of the orbital period P is years and the units of the semimajor axis a is astronomical units.

Explanation:

P² = a³ is the simplified version of Kepler's third law which governs the orbital motion of large bodies that orbit around a star. The orbit of each planet is an ellipse with the star at the focal point.

Therefore, if you square the year of each planet and divide it by the distance that it is from the star, you will get the same number for all the other planets.

Thus, the units of the orbital period P is years and the units of the semimajor axis a is astronomical units.

A 5,000 kg satellite is orbiting the Earth in a circular path. The height of the satellite above the surface of the Earth is 800

Arada [10]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

m = 5000 kg, h = 800 km = $0.8 \times 10^{6} m$

$R_{e} = 6.37 \times 10^{6} m$ , r = R + h = $7.17 \times 10^{6} m$

$M_{e} = 5.98 \times 10^{24}$ kg, G = $6.67 \times 10^{-11} Nm^{2}/kg^{2}$

As we know that,

$\frac{mv^{2}}{r} = \frac{GmM_{e}}{r^{2}}$

v = $\sqrt{\frac{GM_{e}}{r^{2}}}$

And, it is known that formula to calculate angular velocity is as follows.

$\omega = \frac{v}{r} = \sqrt{\frac{GM_{e}}{r^{3}}}$

v = $\sqrt{\frac{GM_{e}}{r^{3}}}$

= $\sqrt{\frac{6.67 \times 10^{-11} Nm^{2}/kg^{2} \times 5.98 \times 10^{-24} kg^{-2}}{(7.17 \times 10^{6} m)^{3}}}$

= $1.0402 \times 10^{-3} rad/s$

Thus, we can conclude that speed of the satellite is $1.0402 \times 10^{-3} rad/s$ .

I which types of galaxy are globular clusters most likely to be found?

NemiM [27]

Globular clusters are very tightly bound by gravity, which gives them their spherical shapes and relatively high stellar densities toward their centers. The name of this category of star cluster is derived from the Latin globulus—a small sphere.
