The sidereal period of the moon around the Earth is 27.3 days. Suppose a satellite were placed in Earth orbit, halfway between E

arth's center and the moon's orbit. Use Kepler's third law to find the period of this satellite. (Just use T2/r3 = constant. No need for Earth's mass or the value of G.) days.

Answer: 9.7 days

Explanation:

Applying Kepler's 3rd law, we can write the following proportion:

(Tm)² / (dem)³ = (Tsat)² / (dem/2)³

(As the satellite is placed in an orbit halfway between Erth's center and the moon's orbit).

Simplifyng common terms, and solving for Tsat, we have:

Tsat = √((27.3)²/8) = 9.7 days

A 0.750 kg block is attached to a spring with spring constant 13.0 N/m . While the block is sitting at rest, a student hits it w
trapecia [35]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to energy conservation. From this conservation we will find the magnitude of the amplitude. Later for the second part, we will need to find the period, from which it will be possible to obtain the speed of the body.

A) Conservation of Energy,

KE = PE

\frac{1}{2} mv ^2 = \frac{1}{2} k A^2

Here,

m = Mass

v = Velocity

k = Spring constant

A = Amplitude

Rearranging to find the Amplitude we have,

A = \sqrt{\frac{mv^2}{k}}

Replacing,

A = \sqrt{\frac{(0.750)(31*10^{-2})^2}{13}}

A = 0.0744m

(B) For this part we will begin by applying the concept of Period, this in order to find the speed defined in the mass-spring systems.

The Period is defined as

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}

Replacing,

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{0.750}{13}}

T= 1.509s

Now the velocity is described as,

v = \frac{2\pi}{T} * \sqrt{A^2-x^2}

v = \frac{2\pi}{T} * \sqrt{A^2-0.75A^2}

We have all the values, then replacing,

v = \frac{2\pi}{1.509}\sqrt{(0.0744)^2-(0.750(0.0744))^2}

v = 0.2049m/s

A bungee jumper with mass 65.0 kg jumps from a high bridge. After reaching his lowest point, he oscillates up and down, hitting
ololo11 [35]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of a bungee jumper is 65 kg

The time period of the oscillation is 38 s, hitting a low point eight more times.It means its time period is

T=\dfrac{38}{8}\\\\T=4.75\ s

After many oscillations, he finally comes to rest 25.0 m below the level of the bridge.

For an oscillating object, the time period is given by :

T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}

k = spring stiffness constant

So,

k=\dfrac{4\pi ^2m}{T^2}\\\\k=\dfrac{4\pi ^2\times 65}{(4.75)^2}\\\\k=113.43\ N/m

When the cord is in air,

mg=kx

x = the extension in the cord

x=\dfrac{mg}{k}\\\\x=\dfrac{65\times 9.8}{113.6}\\\\x=5.6\ m

So, the unstretched length of the bungee cord is equal to 25 m - 5.6 m = 19.4 m

Why are ionic solids poor conductors of electricity? The lattice is brittle. The ions are neutral. The ions are of equal but opp
sveta [45]

The ions are in fixed positions.

Explanation:

Ionic solids are poor conductors of electricity because their ions are fixed in position. Their ions are not free to move about. They are fixed in crystal lattices.

  • For the conduction of electricity, compounds must possess free mobile electrons and moving ions in solution.
  • Ionic compounds are formed by the electrostatic attraction between a metallic and non-metallic ion.
  • They actually contain ions but their ions are locked up.
  • They are not free to move about.
  • Electrical conduction involves ion mobility.
  • In molten and aqueous forms, they are able to conduct electricity because their ions are then mobile.
