We have that the spring constant is mathematically given as

k=2.37*10^{11}N/m

Generally, the equation for angular velocity is mathematically given by

\omega=\sqrt{k}{m}

Where

k=spring constant

And

\omega =\frac{2\pi}{T}

Therefore

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

Hence giving spring constant k

k=m((\frac{2 \pi}{T})^2

Generally

Mass of earth m=5.97*10^{24}

Period for on complete resolution of Earth around the Sun

T=365 days

T=365*24*3600

Therefore

k=(5.97*10^{24})((\frac{2 \pi}{365*24*3600})^2

k=2.37*10^{11}N/m

In conclusion

The effective spring constant of this simple harmonic motion is

k=2.37*10^{11}N/m

Use Kepler’s third law and the orbital motion of Earth to determine the mass of the Sun. The average distance between Earth and
dexar [7]

Kepler’s
third law formula: T^2=4pi^2*r^3/(GM)

We’re trying to find M, so:

M=4pi^2*r^3/(G*T^2)

M=4pi^2*(1.496
× 10^11 m)^3/((6.674× 10^-11N*m^2/kg^2)*(365.26days)^2)

M=1.48× 10^40(m^3)/((N*m^2/kg^2)*days^2))

Let’s work
with the units:

(m^3)/((N*m^2/kg^2)*days^2))=

=(m^3*kg^2)/(N*m^2*days^2)

=(m*kg^2)/(N*days^2)

=(m*kg^2)/((kg*m/s^2)*days^2)

=(kg)/(days^2/s^2)

=(kg*s^2)/(days^2)

So:

M=1.48× 10^40(kg*s^2)/(days^2)

Now we need to convert days to seconds in order to cancel
them:

1 day=24 hours=24*60minutes=24*60*60s=86400s

M=1.48× 10^40(kg*s^2)/((86400s)^2)

M=1.48× 10^40(kg*s^2)/(
86400^2*s^2)

M=1.48× 10^40kg/86400^2

M=1.98x10^30kg

The
closest answer is 1.99
× 10^30

(it may vary
a little with rounding – the difference is less than 1%)

A) Determine the x and y-components of the ball's velocity at t = 0.0s, 2.0, 3.0 secs.
malfutka [58]

The kinematic relationships we can find the position, acceleration and launch angle of the body on the planet Exidor.

a) the position are

      time (s)  x (m)   y(m)

        0            0          0

        2.0         3.6        1.2

        3.0         5.4        0.9

b) The aceleration is  g = 0.6 m / s²

c) The launch angle      θ = 33.7º

given parameters

  • the initial velocity of the body vₓ = 1.8m / s and v_y = 1.2 m / s
  • the movement times t = 1.0s, 2.0s and 3.0 s

to find

    a) position

    b) acceleration

    c) launch angle

Projectile launch is an application of kinematics to the movement of the body in two dimensions where there is no acceleration on the x axis and the y axis has the planet's gravity acceleration

b) To calculate the acceleration of the plant acting on the y-axis, we use that the vertical velocity of the body at the highest point is zero.

         v_y = v_{oy} - g t

where v and v({oy}  are the velocities of the body, g the acceleration of the planet's gravity and t the time

          0 = v_{oy} - gt

           g = v_{oy} / t

from the graph we observe that the highest point occurs for t = 2.0 s

           g = 1.2 / 2.0

           g = 0.6 m / s²

 

a) The position is requested for several times

X axis

in this axis there is no acceleration so we can use the uniform motion relationships

          vₓ = x / t

          x = vₓ t

where x is the position, vx is the velocity and t is the time

we calculate for the time

t = 0.0 s

          x₀ = 0

           

t = 2.0 s

          x₂ = 1.8 2

          x₂ = 3.6 m

t = 3.0 s

          x₃ = 1.8 3

          x₃ = 5.4 m

Y axis

In this axis there is the acceleration of the planet, let us use for the position the relation

          y = v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

t = 0.0 s

          y₀ = 0

          y₀ = 0 m

t = 2.0 s

         y₂ = 1.2 2 - ½ 0.6 2²

         y₂ = 1.2 m

t = 3.0 s

        y₃ = 1.2  3 - ½  0.6  3²

        y₃ = 0.9 m

c) the launch angle use the trigonometry relation

        tan θ = \frac{v_y}{v_x}

        θ = tan⁻¹ \frac{v_y}{v_x}

        θ = tan⁻¹ \frac{1.2}{1.8}

        θ = 33.7º

measured counterclockwise from the positive side of the x-axis

With the kinematic relationships we can find the position, acceleration and launch angle of the body on the planet Exidor.

a) the position are

      time (s)  x (m)   y(m)

        0            0          0

        2.0         3.6        1.2

        3.0         5.4        0.9

b) The aceleration is  g = 0.6 m / s²

c) The launch angle      θ = 33.7ºto)
