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

What Is a Sound Wave? Learning Goal: To understand the nature of a sound wave, including its properties: frequency wavelength, l

NISA [10]

Answer:

A) Propagation of pressure fluctuations in a medium

B) air is the medium in which the wave is transported,

Explanation:

Part A.

A sound wave is a longitudinal oscillation of the molecules that forms in a material medium, they can be solid, liquid or gases, therefore the wave propagates in the same direction as the oscillation of the particles.

The most correct answer is:

* Propagation of pressure fluctuations in a medium

Part b

air is the medium in which the wave is transported, otherwise it cannot propagate

What is the difference between a neap and a spring tide in terms of size?

Mamont248 [21]

Spring tides occur when the moon is either new or full, and the sun, the moon, and the Earth are aligned. ... neap tide- A tide in which the difference between high and low tide is the least. Neap tides occur twice a month when the sun and moon are at right angles to the Earth.

A 4.67-g bullet is moving horizontally with a velocity of +357 m/s, where the sign + indicates that it is moving to the right (s

Leni [432]

Answer:

(a)0.531m/s

(b)0.00169

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of bullet, m=4.67 g= $4.67\times 10^{-3} kg$

1 kg =1000 g

Speed of bullet, v=357m/s

Mass of block 1, $m_1=1177g=1.177kg$

Mass of block 2, $m_2=1626 g=1.626 kg$

Velocity of block 1, $v_1=0.681m/s$

(a)

Let velocity of the second block after the bullet imbeds itself=v2

Using conservation of momentum

Initial momentum=Final momentum

$mv=m_1v_1+(m+m_2)v_2$

$4.67\times 10^{-3}\times 357+1.177(0)+1.626(0)=1.177\times 0.681+(4.67\times 10^{-3}+1.626)v_2$

$1.66719=0.801537+1.63067v_2$

$1.66719-0.801537=1.63067v_2$

$0.865653=1.63067v_2$

$v_2=\frac{0.865653}{1.63067}$

$v_2=0.531m/s$

Hence, the velocity of the second block after the bullet imbeds itself=0.531m/s

(b)Initial kinetic energy before collision

$K_i=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$k_i=\frac{1}{2}(4.67\times 10^{-3}\times (357)^2)$

$k_i=297.59 J$

Final kinetic energy after collision

$K_f=\frac{1}{2}m_1v^2_1+\frac{1}{2}(m+m_2)v^2_2$

$K_f=\frac{1}{2}(1.177)(0.681)^2+\frac{1}{2}(4.67\times 10^{-3}+1.626)(0.531)^2$

$K_f=0.5028 J$

Now, he ratio of the total kinetic energy after the collision to that before the collision

= $\frac{k_f}{k_i}=\frac{0.5028}{297.59}$

=0.00169

Two point charges are separated by 10 cm, with an attractive force between them of 15 N. Find the force between them when they a

suter [353]

Answer:

(a) the force is 8.876 N

(b) the magnitude of each charge is 4.085 μC

Explanation:

Part (a)

Given;

coulomb's constant, K = 8.99 x 10⁹ N.m²/C²

distance between two charges, r = 10 cm = 0.1 m

force between the two charges, F = 15 N

when the distance between the charges changes to 13 cm (0.13 m)

force between the two charges, F = ?

Apply Coulomb's law;

$F = \frac{Kq_1q_2}{r^2} \\\\let \ Kq_1q_2 = C\\\\F =\frac{C}{r^2} \\\\C = Fr^2\\\\F_1r_1^2 = F_2r_2^2\\\\F_2 =\frac{F_1r_1^2}{r_2^2} \\\\F_2 = \frac{15*0.1^2}{0.13^2} \\\\F_2 = 8.876 \ N$

Part (b)

the magnitude of each charge, if they have equal magnitude

$F = \frac{KQ^2}{r^2}$

where;

F is the force between the charges

K is Coulomb's constant

Q is the charge

r is the distance between the charges

$F = \frac{KQ^2}{r^2} \\\\Q = \sqrt{\frac{Fr^2}{K} } \\\\Q = \sqrt{\frac{15*(0.1)^2}{8.99*10^9} } = 4.085 *10^{-6} \ C\\\\Q = 4.085 \ \mu C$
