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 rope of total mass m hnd length L is suspended vertically with an object of mass M suspended from the lower end. Find an expre
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

Part a)

v = \sqrt{xg + \frac{MLg}{m}}

Part b)

t = 12 s

Explanation:

Part a)

Tension in the rope at a distance x from the lower end is given as

T = \frac{m}{L}xg + Mg

so the speed of the wave at that position is given as

v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}

here we know that

\mu = \frac{m}{L}

now we have

v = \sqrt{\frac{ \frac{m}{L}xg + Mg}{m/L}

v = \sqrt{xg + \frac{MLg}{m}}

Part b)

time taken by the wave to reach the top is given as

t = \int \frac{dx}{\sqrt{xg + \frac{MLg}{m}}}

t = \frac{1}{g}(2\sqrt{xg + \frac{MLg}{m}})

t = \frac{2}{9.8}(\sqrt{(39.2\times 9.8) + \frac{8(39.2)(9.8)}{1}})

t = 12 s
