Answer:

Measurement is a comparison of an unknown quantity with a known fixed quantity of the same kind. The value obtained on measuring a quantity is called its magnitude. The magnitude of a quantity is expressed as numbers in its unit.

Assume that a satellite orbits mars 150km above its surface. Given that the mass of mars is 6.485 X 10^23kg, and the radius of m
Kisachek [45]
<span>3598 seconds The orbital period of a satellite is u=GM p = sqrt((4*pi/u)*a^3) Where p = period u = standard gravitational parameter which is GM (gravitational constant multiplied by planet mass). This is a much better figure to use than GM because we know u to a higher level of precision than we know either G or M. After all, we can calculate it from observations of satellites. To illustrate the difference, we know GM for Mars to within 7 significant figures. However, we only know G to within 4 digits. a = semi-major axis of orbit. Since we haven't been given u, but instead have been given the much more inferior value of M, let's calculate u from the gravitational constant and M. So u = 6.674x10^-11 m^3/(kg s^2) * 6.485x10^23 kg = 4.3281x10^13 m^3/s^2 The semi-major axis of the orbit is the altitude of the satellite plus the radius of the planet. So 150000 m + 3.396x10^6 m = 3.546x10^6 m Substitute the known values into the equation for the period. So p = sqrt((4 * pi / u) * a^3) p = sqrt((4 * 3.14159 / 4.3281x10^13 m^3/s^2) * (3.546x10^6 m)^3) p = sqrt((12.56636 / 4.3281x10^13 m^3/s^2) * 4.458782x10^19 m^3) p = sqrt(2.9034357x10^-13 s^2/m^3 * 4.458782x10^19 m^3) p = sqrt(1.2945785x10^7 s^2) p = 3598.025212 s Rounding to 4 significant figures, gives us 3598 seconds.</span>

Three small masses are positioned as follows: 2.0 kg at (0.0 m, 0.0 m), 2.0 kg at (2.0 m, 0.0 m), and 4.0 kg at (2.0 m, 1.0 m).
melamori03 [73]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

The given data is

mass, kg   Coordinates. m
-------------   -----------------
   2               (0, 0)
   2               (2, 0)
   4               (2, 1)

Total mass, M = 2+2+4 = 8kg
Let (x,y) be the coordinates of M.

Then, taking moments about the origin, we obtain
8x = 2*0 + 2*2 + 4*2 = 12
x = 1.5 m

8y = 2*0 + 2*0 + 4*1 = 4
y = 0.5 m

Answer:  (1.5, 0.5) m

A clock moves past you at a speed of 0.9 c. How much time passes for you for each second that elapses on the moving clock?
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Explanation:

Time dilation formula is

T = T₀ / √ 1-v²/c²

T₀ is time elapsed in moving reference , T time elapsed in stationary reference.

Here T₀ = 1 second

T = 1/√ 1-0.9² = 1/.4358 = 2.3 second

So 2.3 second will pass for each second on moving reference.

A force of 6.00 N acts in the positive direction on a 3.00 kg object, originally traveling at +15.0 m/s, for 10.0 s. (a) What is
frozen [14]

Answer:

60 kg m/s

Explanation:

Let a\;\; m/s^2 be the acceleration of the object.

As the acceleration of the object is constant, so

a=\frac {v-u}{t}\cdots(i)

Given that applied force, F=6.00 N,

From Newton's second law, we have

F= m\times a,

\Rightarrow F=\frac {m(v-u)}{t} [from equation (i)]

\Rightarrow Ft=m(v-u)

\Rightarrow Ft=mv-mu

\Rightarrow mv-mu=6\times 10 [given that time, t=10 s and F=6 N]

\Rightarrow mv-mu=60 kg \;m/s

Here mv is the final momentum of the object and mu is the initial momentum of the object.

So, the change in the momentum of the object is mv-mu.

Hence, the change in the momentum of the object is 60 kg m/s.
