Why do astronomers believe that triton is a captured moon?

Physics
1 answer:
Dafna11 [192]2 years ago
6 0

Answer: Accoding to research "Triton is unique among all the large moons in the solar system because it orbits Neptune in a direction opposite to the planet's rotation (a "retrograde" orbit). It is unlikely to have formed in this configuration and was probably captured from elsewhere."

If the kinetic energy of a given mass is to be doubled, its speed must be multiplied by
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

Either B or D. The answer itself is 2.

Explanation:

The equation for the kinetic energy would be 1/2*mv^2.

When m is doubled, we can plug in 1 and 2 to compare our answers.

Plugging in 1 for mass would give us the answer 1/2*v^2.

Plugging in 2 for mass would give us v^2. This means that the velocity was multiplied by 2, meaning that the answer is it is multiplied by 2.

I am not sure which answer is correct since there seems to be two answer choices with 2 in it, but the answer is either B or D (I will call it ABCD because I do not want to cause confusion by saying 2 multiple times).

sweet [91]

Answer:

a). 53.75 N and 101.92 N

b). 381.44 N and 723.25 N

Explanation:

V= 77 \frac{km}{h}* \frac{1h}{3600 s} *\frac{1000m}{1 km} = 21.38 \frac{m}{s} \\V=106 \frac{km}{h}* \frac{1h}{3600 s} *\frac{1000m}{1 km} = 29.44 \frac{m}{s}

a).

ρ= 1.2 \frac{kg}{m^{3} }, A_{t}= 0.7 m^{2}, D_{t}= 0.28

F_{t1} = \frac{1}{2} * D_{t} * A_{t}* p_{t}* v_{t}^{2}

F_{t1} = \frac{1}{2} * 0.28 * 0.7m^{2} * 1.2\frac{kg}{m^{3} }* 21.38^{2}= 53.75 N

F_{t1} = \frac{1}{2} * 0.28 * 0.7m^{2} * 1.2\frac{kg}{m^{3} }* 29.44^{2}= 101.92 N

b).

ρ= 1.2 \frac{kg}{m^{3} }, A_{h}= 2.44 m^{2}, D_{h}= 0.57

F_{t1} = \frac{1}{2} * D_{h} * A_{h}* p_{h}* v_{h}^{2}

F_{t1} = \frac{1}{2} * 0.57 * 2.44 m^{2} * 1.2\frac{kg}{m^{3} }* 21.38^{2}= 381.44 N

F_{t1} = \frac{1}{2} * 0.57 * 2.44 m^{2} * 1.2\frac{kg}{m^{3} }* 29.44^{2}= 723.25 N
