Vesta is a minor planet (asteroid) that takes 3.63 years to orbit the Sun.

Physics
1 answer:
Vsevolod [243]2 years ago
8 0

Using Kepler's third law, the average sun -Vesta distance is 2.36 AU.

According to Kepler's laws, the square of the period of revolution of planets are proportional to the cube of their average distances from the sun. Hence, we can write; T^{2} =r^{3}

Where;

T = period of the planet

r = average distance of the planet

When;

T =  3.63 years

r = \sqrt[3]{T^2}

r = \sqrt[3]{(3.63)^2}

r = 2.36 AU

A train car has a mass of 10,000 kg and is moving at +3.0 m/s. It strikes an identical train car that is at rest. The train cars
shtirl [24]
In order to compute the final velocity of the trains, we may apply the principle of conservation of momentum which is:
initial momentum = final momentum
m₁v₁ = m₂v₂

The final mass of the trains will be:
10,000 + 10,000 = 20,000 kg
Substituting the values into the equation:

10,000 * 3 = 20,000 * v
v = 1.5 m/s

The final velocity of the trains will be 1.5 m/s

Describe the sequence of mechanical energy events that lets you hear the
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

Starting from the beginning.

There is a radio signal that is received by the radio.

The radio interprets the signal and produces a current in response to it.

That current goes to a membrane that oscillates producing sound, the oscillation of the membrane is the first mechanical energy event here.

These oscillations can travel in material mediums, for example, the air. Then there is a production of waves (soundwaves) that travel in the air (second event).

Those waves now hit the wall that separates you and your neighbor, as the wall is made of a material, the soundwaves can travel through it, but they will be dispersed (a part of the waves rebounds on the wall, and another part is dissipated as the wave travels through the wall), there is also a transmitted part of the wave, that is now in your house. (this change of medium will be the third event). Now only the lower frequencies survive, this is why the sound is "muffled".

Those remaining frequencies now travel in your house, and when they reach your ear, your ear sends a signal to your brain and your brain interprets them as sound. The wave interacting with your ear will be the fourth and last mechanical energy event.
