The apple would weigh the most on jupiter since it has 2 and 1/2 the amount of gravity as earth

A plane flies 1800 miles in 9 hours, with a tailwind all the way. the return trip on the same route, now with a headwind, tak

Fittoniya [83]

Initially its moving with tail wind so here the speed of wind will support the motion of the plane

so we can say

$V_{plane} + v_{wind} = \frac{distance}{time}$

$V_{plane} + v_{wind} = \frac{1800}{9}$

$V_{plane} + v_{wind} = 200 mph$

now when its moving with head wind we can say that wind is opposite to the motion of the plane

$V_{plane} - v_{wind} = \frac{distance}{time}$

$V_{plane} - v_{wind} = \frac{1800}{12}$

$V_{plane} - v_{wind} = 150mph$

now by using above two equations we can find speed of palne as well as speed of wind

$V_{plane} = 175 mph$

$v_{wind} = 25 mph$

A 900 kg steel beam is supported by the two ropes shown in (Figure 1) . Calculate the tension in the rope.

Rzqust [24]

Let T1 and T2 be tension in ropes1 and 2 respectively.
since system is stationary (equilibrium), considering both ropes + beam as a system 

for horizontal equilibrium (no movement in that direction, so resultant force must be zero horizontally) 
T1sin(20) = T2sin(30) 
=> T1 = T2sin(30) / sin(20) 

for vertical equilibrium, (no movement in this direction, so resultant force must be zero vertically) 
T1cos(20) + T2cos(30) = mg 

m = 900kg, substituting for T1 
T2sin(30)*cos(20)/sin(20) + T2cos(30) = 900g 
2.328*T2 = 900*9.8 
T2 = 3788.65N 
so T1 from (1) 
T1 = 5535.21N

The moons of Mars, Phobos (Fear) and Deimos (Terror), are very close to the planet compared to Earth's Moon. Their orbital radii

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

$0.2528$

Explanation:

To calculate the period we need the formula:

$T=\frac{2\pi r^{3/2}}{\sqrt{GM}}$

Where $r$ is the radius of the moon, $G$ is the universal constant of gravitation and $M$ is the mass of mars.

The period of Phobos:

$T_{p}=\frac{2\pi r_{p}^{3/2}}{\sqrt{GM}}$

The period of Deimos:

$T_{D}=\frac{2\pi r_{D}^{3/2}}{\sqrt{GM}}$

The ratio of the period of Phobos and Deimos:

$\frac{T_{p}}{T_{D}}=\frac{\frac{2\pi r_{p}^{3/2}}{\sqrt{GM}}}{\frac{2\pi r_{D}^{3/2}}{\sqrt{GM}}}$

$\frac{T_{p}}{T_{D}}=\frac{\sqrt{GM}2\pi r_{p}^{3/2}}{\sqrt{GM}2\pi r_{D}^{3/2}}$

Most terms get canceled and we have:

$\frac{T_{p}}{T_{D}}=\frac{r_{p}^{3/2}}{r_{D}^{3/2}}$

According to the problem

$r_{p}=9,378km\\r_{D}=23,459km$

so the ratio will be:

$\frac{T_{p}}{T_{D}}=\frac{(9,378)^{3/2}}{(23,459)^{3/2}}=\frac{908166.22}{3593058.125}=0.25275$ ≈ $0.2528$

the ratio of the period of revolution of Phobos to that of Deimos is 0.2528

Kiran drove from City A to City B, a distance of 228 mi. She increased her speed by 12 mi/h for the 400-mi trip from City B to C

Degger [83]

Answer:

From city A to city B her speed was 38 mi/h

Explanation:

The traveled distance can be calculated using this equation:

From city A to city B

228 mi = v · t₁

Where:

v = velocity

t₁ = time it took Kiran to travel the 228 mi from city A to city B

From city B to city C

400 mi = (v + 12 mi/h) · t₂

We also know that the entire trip took 14 h, then:

t₁ + t₂ = 14 h

So, we have a system of three equations with three unknwons:

228 mi = v · t₁

400 mi = (v + 12 mi/h) · t₂

t₁ + t₂ = 14 h

Let´s solve the third equation for t₁:

t₁ = 14 h - t₂

Now let´s replace t₁ in the first equation and solve it for t₂

228 mi = v · t₁

228 mi = v · (14 h - t₂)

228 mi/v - 14 h = - t₂

t₂ = 14 h - 228 mi/v

Now let´s replace t₂ in the second equation:

400 mi = (v + 12 mi/h) · t₂

400 mi = (v + 12 mi/h) · (14 h - 228 mi/v)

400 mi = 14 h · v - 228 mi + 168 mi - 2736 mi²/(v · h)

400 mi = 14 h · v - 60 mi - 2736 mi²/(v · h)

460 mi = 14 h · v - 2736 mi²/(v · h)

Multiplicate by v both sides of the equation:

460 mi · v = 14 h · v² - 2736 mi²/h

0 = 14 h · v² - 460 mi · v - 2737 mi²/h

Solving the quadratic equation:

v = 38 mi/h

(The other solution of the equation is negative, and therefore discarded)

From city A to city B her speed was 38 mi/h

assuming that voltage remains constant, what happpens to the current in a wire as its diameter decreases?

Nataly_w [17]

A larger diameter wire has lower resistance. A lower resistance wire produces less heat for a given current flowing through it.
