Answer:

Explanation:

1) Make sure the service portion of the structure stays above the highest probable water level.

2) Make sure the support structure in contact with the water can withstand the tidal flows

3) Consider whether the added restriction of the proposed structure will altar the height of, or water velocity contained in, the tidal exchanges.

4) Consider whether a dock needs to have mechanisms to compensate for large sea level changes.

The planet Jupiter revolves around the Sun in a period of about 12 years (3.79 × 108 seconds). What is its mean distance from th

givi [52]

As we know that gravitational force of Sun will provide the centripetal force to all planets

so here we will have

$F_g = F_c$

$\frac{GMm}{r^2} = m\omega^2 r$

here we know that

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

$\omega = \frac{2\pi}{3.79 \times 10^8}$

$\omega = 1.66 \times 10^{-8}$

now from above equation

$\frac{GM}{r^2} = \omega^2 r$

$\frac{GM}{\omega^2} = r^3$

$\frac{(6.67 \times 10^{-11})(1.99\times 10^{30})}{(1.66\times 10^{-8})^2} = r^3$

$r = 7.8 \times 10^{11} m$

natita [175]

An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by a force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by a force.
