How can gravitational tugs from orbiting planets affect the motion of a star?.

Physics
1 answer:
gayaneshka [121]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Gravitational tugs from orbiting planets don't affect the motion of a star. The star, being much larger than the planet, has a much smaller orbit. But it does move slightly. Explain how alien astronomers could deduce the existence of planets in our solar system by observing the Sun's motion.

Over a time interval of 1.99 years, the velocity of a planet orbiting a distant star reverses direction, changing from +20.7 km/
madam [21]

Answer:

(a) - 42700 m/s

(b) - 6.8 x 10^-4 m/s^2

Explanation:

initial velocity of star, u = 20.7 km/s

Final velocity of star, v = - 22 km/s

time, t = 1.99 years

Convert velocities into m/s and time into second

So, u = 20700 m / s

v = - 22000 m/s

t = 1.99 x 365.25 x 24 x 3600 = 62799624 second

(a) Change in planet's velocity = final velocity - initial velocity

  = - 22000 - 20700 = - 42700 m/s

(b) Accelerate is defined as the rate of change of velocity.

Acceleration = change in velocity / time

                     = ( - 42700 ) / (62799624) = - 6.8 x 10^-4 m/s^2

A particle is moving with SHM of period pie . initially it is 10 cm from The center of the motion and moving in the positive dir
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

y = 10.44cos(2t - 0.291) cm

Explanation:

y = Acos(2πt/T + φ) = Acos(2πt/π + φ) = Acos(2t + φ)

v = y' = -2Αsin(2t + φ)

10 = Acos(2(0) + φ) = Acosφ

6 = -2Αsin(2(0) + φ) = -2Asinφ

6/10 = -2Asinφ/Acosφ = -2tanφ

tanφ = -0.3

φ = -0.291 radians

10 = Acos(-0.291)

A = 10/cos(-0.291) = 10.44

A 0.02kg dart is loaded into a toy spring gun by compressing the spring 6cm. If the spring has a constant of 20 N/m, find… a. Th
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

a) 0.036 J b) 0.036J c) 0.036 d) 1.9m/s e) 0.18 m

Explanation:

Mass of the dart = 0.02kg, the spring was compressed to 6cm

Work needed to compress the spring = 1/2*k*x ^2 where k is the force constant of the spring in N/m, x is the distance it was compressed in m

Work needed to compress the spring = 0.5 * 20* 0.06^2 since 6cm = 6 / 100 = 0.06 m

Work needed to compress the spring = 0.036J

b) the total energy stored in the spring = the work done to compress the spring = 0.036J

c) kinetic energy of the dart as it leaves the the spring = elastic potential energy stored in the spring = the work done in compressing the = 0.036J using the law of conservation of energy; energy is neither created nor destroyed but transformed from one form to another.

d) 1/2mv^2 = 0.036

mv^2 = 0.036*2

v^2 = 0.036*2 / 0.02 = 3.6

v = √3.6 = 1.897 approx 1.9m/s

e) kinetic energy of the dart = work done against gravity to get the body to height h

Work done against gravity = potential energy conserved at height = -mgh g is negative because the motion is upward while gravity acts downward

0.036 = 0.02 * 9.81 * h

0.036 / ( 0.02*9.81) = h

h = 0.18 m

Two blocks, stacked one on top of the other, slide on a frictionless horizontal surface. The surface between the two blocks is r
devlian [24]

Answer:

F_{net} = 31.88 N

Explanation:

When top block is just or about to slide on the lower block then we can say that the frictional force on it will be maximum static friction

So we will have

F_{net} = ma

F_s = ma

\mu_s mg = ma

a = \mu_s g

a = (0.50)(9.81)

a = 4.905 m/s^2

now for the Net force on two blocks to move together

F_{net} = (m_1 + m_2) a

F_{net} = (2.3 + 4.2)(4.905)

F_{net} = 31.88 N
