Astronauts on the first trip to Mars take along a pendulum that has a period on earth of 1.26 s. The period on the other planet

turns out to be 3.82 s. What is the free-fall acceleration on that other planet?

Answer:

1.066 m/s^2

Explanation:

On the earth and on Mars respectively, the time periods of the pendulums are expressed as:

Tearth = 2pi * sqrt(L/gearth)

Tmars = 2pi * sqrt(L/gMars)

Divide the two equations above:

Tearth/Tmars = sqrt(gMars/gearth)

gMars = gearth(Tearth/Tmars)^2 = (9.80m/s^2)(1.26s/3.82s)^2 = 1.066 m/s^2

Deimos's Orbit. Deimos orbits Mars at a distance of 23,460 km from the center of the planet and has a period of 1.263 days. Assu
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

M = 5.882 10²³ kg

Explanation:

Let's use Newton's second law to analyze the satellite orbit around Mars.

         F = m a

force is universal attraction and acceleration is centripetal

          a = v²/ R

the modulus of velocity in a circular orbit is constant

         v= d/T

the distance of the cicule is

        d =2pi R

       a = 2pi R/T  

we substitute

          - G m M / R² = m ( - \frac{4\pi^2 R^2  }{T^2 R})

         G M = \frac{ 4\pi ^2 R^3  }{T^2 }

         M = \frac{4 \pi ^2 R^3 }{ G T^2 }

the distance R is the distance from the center of the planet Mars to the center of the satellite Deimos

         R = 23460 km = 2.3460 10⁷ m

the period of the orbit is

         T = 1,263 days = 1,263 day (24 h / 1 day) (3600s / h)

          T = 1.0912 10⁵ s

let's calculate

          M = \frac{4 \pi ^2  ( 2.3460 \ 10^7)^3 }{5.67 10^{-11} \ (1.0912 \ 10^5)^2 }

          M = 509.73418 10²¹  /8.66640 10⁻¹

          M = 58.817 10²² kg

          M = 5.882 10²³ kg

0.001225 kg/L x 720 000 000L =?
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

0.001225 kg/L × 720 000 000 L = 882000 kg

Explanation:

Given:

The equation to solve is given as:

0.001225 kg/L × 720 000 000 L = ?

Let us write each term of the product in terms of power of 10.

As 0.001225 has 6 digits after the decimal place, therefore, we use the exponent 6 for 10 and the sign is negative. This gives,

0.001225\ kg/L = 1225\times 10^{-6}\ kg/L

Now, for 720000000 L there are 6 zeros after 720. So, we use exponent 6 but with a positive sign. This gives,

720000000\ L=720\times 10^{6}\ L

Now, finding the product, we get:

0.001225\ kg/L\times 720000000\ L\\\\=1225\times 10^{-6}\ kg/L\times 720\times 10^6\ L\\\\=(1225\times 720)\times (10^6\times 10^{-6})\ (\frac{kg}{L}\times L)\\\\=882000\times 10^{6-6}\ kg\\\\=882000\times 10^0\ kg\\\\=882000\times 1\ kg\\\\=882000\ kg

Therefore, the product is equal to:

0.001225 kg/L × 720 000 000 L = 882000 kg

The number of organisms that can be sustained by an environment without environmental degradation is__________.
otez555 [7]

Answer:

carrying capacity.

Explanation:

The number of organisms that can be sustained by an environment without environmental degradation is its carrying capacity.

The carrying capacity of a living species in an ecosystem is the species ' maximum population size that the environment could carry indefinitely, given the ecosystem's food, habitat, water, as well as other necessities are sufficient.
