Answer:

The distance is r = 55430496 \  m  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The period of the moon T =  1.2 days = 1.2 * 24 * 3600 = 103680 \  s

    The mass of the planet is  m_p =  9.38*10^{24} kg

Generally the period of the moon is mathematically represented as

       T  =  2 *  \pi * \sqrt{ \frac{r^3 }{ G * m_p } }

Here G is the gravitational constant with value

        G  =  6.67 *10^{-11} \  N \cdot m^2/kg^2

=>   T  =  2 *  \pi * \sqrt{ \frac{r^3 }{ G * m_p } }

=>   103680   =  2 *  3.142  * \sqrt{ \frac{r^3 }{ 6.67*10^{-11} * 9.38*10^{24} } }

=>    272218492.31 = \frac{r^3}{ 6.67 *10^{-11} * 9.38*10^{24}}

=>    r = \sqrt[3]{ 1.7031241*10^{23}}j

=>   r = 55430496 \  m

If the amplitude of a wave is 4 feet, what is the Wave Height?
Alexus [3.1K]

A wave is a disturbance that moves along a medium from one end to the other. If one watches an ocean wave moving along the medium (the ocean water), one can observe that the crest of the wave is moving from one location to another over a given interval of time. The crest is observed to cover distance. The speed of an object refers to how fast an object is moving and is usually expressed as the distance traveled per time of travel. In the case of a wave, the speed is the distance traveled by a given point on the wave (such as a crest) in a given interval of time. In equation form,

Using newtons second law of motion, how fast for 100 KG object accelerates 350 N of force is applied to
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

3.5m/s^2

Explanation:

From Newton's second Law of Motion

F = ma

Where F is the applied force, m is the mass of the object and a is the acceleration.

F = 350 N

Mass = 100kg

350N = 100×a

a = 350/100

a = 3.5m/s^2

The acceleration of the object will be 3.5m/s^2

Based on their colors, which of the following stars is hottest? Which is coolest? Archenar (blue), Betelgeuse (red), Capella (ye
Cloud [144]

Answer: The hottest star is Archenar( blue) and the coolest star is Betelgeuse

Explanation:

Objects emit radiation that depends exclusively on their temperature. At an ambient temperature, the radiation emitted by an object is in the infrared spectrum (we could only see it with a special camera). If we heat it we will see that it first turns red (whose state we call “red hot”) because it is the lowest and least energetic wavelength of all.

If we continue to heat it, the wavelength that it emits to one with more energy will continue to increase and we will see that it turns yellow and then white. This is a signal that is emitting at all frequencies (but mainly in blue).

If we continue to warm a body that is "white hot", it would emit in the ultraviolet spectrum, with what would become ... black! then we would not see it emits light in the visible spectrum (well, we would see a very faint bluish light corresponding to the tail of the distribution of the spectrum it emits, but the peak of that spectrum would be in the ultraviolet).
