Answer:

Explanation:

The relation between time period of moon in the orbit around a planet can be given by the following relation .

T² = 4 π² R³ / GM

G is gravitational constant , M is mass of the planet , R is radius of the orbit and T is time period of the moon .

Substituting the values in the equation

(.3189 x 24 x 60 x 60 s)²  = 4 x 3.14² x ( 9380 x 10³)³ / (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ x M)

759.167 x 10⁶ = 8.25 x 10²⁰ x 39.43 / (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ x M )

M = .06424  x 10²⁵

= 6.4 x 10²³ kg .

butalik [34]

Answer:

m=5.51Kg

Explanation:

The weight of an object on Earth is given by W=mg, so we can calculate its mass by doing m=W/g, which for our values is:

m=(54N)/(9.8m/s^2)=5.51Kg

<em>Nothing is being asked</em> about Io but if one wanted to know the weight <em>W'</em> of the watermelon there one just have to do:

W'=ma=(5.51Kg)(1.81m/s^2)=9.97N

What is the mass of a large ship that has a momentum of 1.60x10^9 kg*m/s and is moving at a velocity of 10m/s?
Elden [556K]

Answer:

160000000 kg.

Explanation:

p=mv

p=1.6x10^9

v=10m/s

rearrange and substitute:

(1.6x10^9)=m(10)

m=(1.6x10^9)/10

m= 1.6x10^8 kg.

What type of climate would be near cold ocean currents? PLEASE HELP QUICK!!
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

hot humid with lots of rain.

Explanation:

ocean currents act as conveyer belts of warm and cold water sending heat to the polar regions and helping the tropical areas cool off, thus influencing both weather and climate. the tropics are particularly rainy because heat absorption , and thus ocean evaporation, is highest.

Which of the following is considered a physical change? burning paper rusting of metal evaporating water
alex41 [277]

When paper burns, some of the chemical compounds in the
paper combine with oxygen in the air and become different
chemical compounds.  That's a chemical change.

When iron rusts, or copper or silver turns green, that's the result
of the metal at the surface combining with the oxygen in the air and
forming a new chemical compound.  Those are chemical changes.

When water evaporates, H₂O in the liquid phase gains thermal
energy and changes to H₂O in the gaseous phase. No chemical
compounds are lost, gained, or changed to other compounds. 
It's just a physical change.
