A child pushes his younger brother with 54 newtons of force, causing him to accelerate at 3.8 m/s/s. Assuming no friction, what

is the mass of the younger brother?

Answer:

force normal = mass times acceleration

F=ma

54= m (3.8)

divide by 3.8 in both sides

54/3.8

mass of the little brother is 14.2 kg

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Kepler's third law as well as the calculation of distances in orbits with eccentricities.

Kepler's third law tells us that

$T^2 = \frac{4\pi^2}{GM}a^3$

Where

T= Period

G= Gravitational constant

M = Mass of the sun

a= The semimajor axis of the comet's orbit

The period in years would be given by

$T= 1941-550\\T= 1391y(\frac{31536000s}{1y})\\T=4.3866*10^{10}s$

PART A) Replacing the values to find a, we have

$a^3= \frac{T^2 GM}{4\pi^2}$

$a^3 = \frac{(4.3866*10^{10})^2(6.67*10^{-11})(1.989*10^{30})}{4\pi^2}$

$a^3 = 6.46632*10^{39}$

$a = 1.86303*10^{13}m$

Therefore the semimajor axis is $1.86303*10^{13}m$

PART B) If the semi-major axis a and the eccentricity e of an orbit are known, then the periapsis and apoapsis distances can be calculated by

$R = a(1-e)$

$R = 1.86303*10^{13}(1-0.997)$

$R= 5.58*10^{10}m$

An object of height 2.4 cm is placed 29 cm in front of a diverging lens of focal length 19 cm. Behind the diverging lens, and 11

Arada [10]

Answer:

122.735 behind converging lens ; 2.16

Explanation:

Given tgat:

Object distance, u = 29 cm

Image distance, v =

Focal length, f = - 19 (diverging lens)

Mirror formula :

1/u + 1/v = 1/f

1/29 + 1/v = - 1/19

1/v = - 1/19 - 1/29

1/v = −0.087114

v = −11.47916

v = -11.48

Second lens

Object distance :

u = 11.48 + 11 = 22.48 cm

1/v = 1/19 - 1/22.48

1/v = 0.0081475

v = 1 / 0.0081475

v = 122.735 cm

122.735 behind second lens

Magnification, m

m = m1 * m2

m = - v / u

Lens1 :

m1 = -11.48 / 29 = - 0.3958620

m2 = - 122.735 / 22.48 = - 5.4597419

Hence,

- 0.3958620 * - 5.4597419 = 2.16
