In preparation for the final exam, our astronomy study group has reconvened to discuss Mercury's unique orbital properties. They

have expressed the following ideas: Student A: When Mercury revolves around the Sun 4 times, it rotates around its axis 6 times. Student B: When Mercury revolves around the Sun 6 times, it rotates around its axis 10 times. Student C: When Mercury revolves around the Sun 8 times, it rotates around its axis 12 times.

Answer:

The only incorrect statement is from student B

Explanation:

The planet mercury has a period of revolution of 58.7 Earth days and a rotation period around the sun of 87 days 23 ha, approximately 88 Earth days.

Let's examine student claims using these rotation periods

Student A. The time for 4 turns around the sun is

           t = 4 88

           t = 352 / 58.7 Earth days

In this time I make as many rotations on itself each one with a time to = 58.7 Earth days

           #_rotaciones = t / to

           #_rotations = 352 / 58.7

           #_rotations = 6

therefore this statement is TRUE

student B. the planet rotates 6 times around the Sun

          t = 6 88

          t = 528 s

The number of rotations on itself is

           #_rotaciones = t / to

           #_rotations = 528 / 58.7

           #_rotations = 9

False, turn 9 times

Student C. 8 turns around the sun

           t = 8 88

           t = 704 days

the number of turns on itself is

            #_rotaciones = t / to

            #_rotations = 704 / 58.7

            #_rotations = 12

True

The only incorrect statement is from student B

A water pipe is inclined 40.0° below the horizontal. The radius of the pipe at the upper end is 2.00 cm. If the gauge pressure a
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

P_2 = -1.9 \times 10^8 Pa

Explanation:

As it is given that flow rate in the pipe is 20 cm^3/s

so we have

Q = A_1v_1 = A_2v_2

at the upper end the area is given as

A_1 = \pi r_1^2

A_1 = \pi(0.02)^2 = 1.26 \times 10^{-3} cm^2

Also at the other end

A_2 = \pi r_2^2

A_2 = \pi(0.01)^2 = 0.314 \times 10^{-3} cm^2

now the speed at two ends is given as

v_1 = \frac{20}{1.26 \times 10^{-3}}

v_1 = 159.15 m/s

v_2 = \frac{20}{0.314 \times 10^{-3}}

v_2 = 637 m/s

now by Bernoulli's theorem we have

P_1 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 + \rho g h_1 = P_2 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2 + \rho g h_2

now we have

0.112(1.013 \times 10^5) + \frac{1}{2}1000(159.15)^2 + 1000(9.81)(2.65sin40) = P_2 + \frac{1}{2}(1000)(637)^2 + 0

Now we have

P_2 = -1.9 \times 10^8 Pa
