The mass of Mars is 11% that of Earth, with a radius 53% that of Earth, and a rotational period 103% that of Earth. Assuming both planets to be uniform spheres calculate the ratio of the angular momentum of Mars to that of Earth.

Answers

Explanation:

Assume that mass of Earth is M, radius of earth orbit is R, and rotational period of Earth is T.

The angular momentum of Earth is,

 [tex]L_{z} &=M R^{2} \omega \\ &=M R^{2}\left(\frac{2 \pi}{T}\right) \\ &=\frac{2 \pi M R^{2}}{T}[/tex]

The mass of mars is, mass of Earth

=0.11 M

The radius of mars orbit is, of radius of earth

=0.53 R

The rotational period of mars is, of period of Earth

=1.03 T

The angular momentum of mars is,

[tex]L_{m}=\frac{2 \pi(0.11 M)(0.53 R)^{2}}{1.03 T}[/tex]

The angular momentum of mars is,

[tex]L_{m}=\frac{2 \pi(0.11 M)(0.53 R)^{2}}{1.03 T}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

his distance is too small (r = 0.01 mm), therefore the cut can be at any distance

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use the ampere law.

Let's use a cylinder as the circulating surface

          ∫ B. ds = μ₀ I

in this case the field is circular and ds is circular therefore the angle between them is zero and cos 0 = 1

          B 2π r =  μ₀ I

          r =  [tex]\frac{\mu_o I}{2\pi B}[/tex]

The field needed to demagnetize the card is B = 1000 gauss = 0.1 T

          r = [tex]\frac{4\pi 10^{-7} 5.0 }{2\pi \ 0.1}[/tex]

           r = 2 10⁻⁷  5.0/0.1

          r = 1  10⁻⁵ m

this distance is too small (r = 0.01 mm), therefore the cut can be at any distance

An ant crawls in a straight line at a constant speed of 0.24 m/s for a distance of 3.0 m, beginning in the corner of a square classroom. It then turns exactly 90 degrees to the right, and proceeds an additional 4.0 m, reaching the far corner of the same wall from which it began. If the second leg of the journey was crawled in half the amount of time as the first, what was the ant's average speed for the whole trip?

Answers

Answer:

vavg = 0.37 m/s

Explanation:

The average speed is just the relationship between the total distance traveled, and the total time required for that travel , as follows:

       [tex]v_{avg} = \frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t} (1)[/tex]

We know that for the first leg of the journey, the ant crawls at a constant speed of 0.24 m/s, moving 3.0 m.We can find the time required for this part, just applying the definition of average velocity, and solving for the time t (which we will call t₁), as follows:

       [tex]t_{1} =\frac{x_{1}}{v_{1} } = \frac{3.0m}{0.24m/s} = 12.5 s (2)[/tex]

From the givens, we know that the time for the second part is exactly the half of the value found in (2), so we can write the total time Δt as follows:

       [tex]\Delta t = t_{1} + \frac{t_{1} }{2} = 12.5 s + 6.25 s = 18.75 s (3)[/tex]

We also know that in the second leg of the journey, the ant traveled 4.0 m, which adds to the 3.0 m of the first part, making a total distance of 7.0 m.Per definition of average speed, we can write the following expression as in (1) replacing Δx and Δt by their values, as follows:

       [tex]v_{avg} = \frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t} = \frac{7.0m}{18.75m} = 0.37 m/s (4)[/tex]

Katelyn (55 kg) is practicing a drop jump in the biomechanics lab. She steps off a plyometrics box, lands on the force plate, and immediately jumps back up into the air. Right before she hits the force plate, her vertical velocity is 3.0 m/s downwards. After leaving the ground again, her vertical velocity is 3.5 m/s upwards. Katelyn was in contact with the ground for 0.4 seconds. (a) What was the impulse exerted on Katelyn when she was on the force plate

Answers

Answer:

J = 357.5 kg*m/s

Explanation:

The impulse exerted on Katelyn when she was on the force plate, is equal to the change in her momentum, according to Newton's 2nd Law.Assuming as the positive direction the upward direction (coincident with the positive y-axis) we can express the initial momentum as follows:

       [tex]p_{o} = m*v_{o} = 55 kg * (-3.0 m/s) (1)[/tex]

By the same token, the final momentum is as follows:

       [tex]p_{f} = m*v_{f} = 55 kg * (3.5 m/s) (2)[/tex]

As we have already said, the impulse J is just equal to the change in momentum, i.e., the difference between (2) and (1):

      [tex]J = p_{f} - p_{o} = m* (v_{f} -v_{o}) = 55 kg* (3.5m/s- (-3.0m/s)) = 357.5 kg*m/s (3)[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

x(t) = -8sin2t

Explanation:

See the attachment for solution

From my solving, we can deduce that w² = 4, and thus, w = 2

Therefore, the general solution is

x(t) = c1 cos2t + c2 sin2t

Considering the final variable, we can conclude that

x(0) = 0

x'(0) = -8 m/s

The final solution, thus

A satellite, moving in an elliptical orbit, is 368 km above Earth's surface at its farthest point and 164 km above at its closest point. (a) Calculate the semimajor axis of the orbit. Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. m (b) Calculate the eccentricity of the orbit. Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. Did you find the semimajor axis a from the greatest and smallest radii

Answers

Answer:

a) 6636 km

b) 0.0154

Explanation:

The height above the earth at its furthest point is 368 km

The height above the earth at its closest point is 164 km

Radius of the Earth is 6370 km

The distance of the satellite from the center of the earth to the furthest point is 6370 + 368 km = 6738 km

The distance of the satellite from the center of the earth to the closest point is 6370 + 164 = 6534 km

If we add together the sum of the distance of the satellite from the furthest and its closest distance, it is equal to the 2 major semi axis.

Basically,

2a = R + r

a = (R + r) / 2

a = (6738 + 6534) / 2

a = 13272 / 2

a = 6636 km

Eccentricity, e = (a - r) / a

Eccentricity, e = (6636 - 6534) / 6636

Eccentricity, e = 102 / 6636

Eccentricity, e = 0.0154

How much greater will that temperature change be than the temperature change of the other substance?

= ?

Answers

One of the major effects of heat transfer is temperature change: heating increases the temperature while cooling decreases it. We assume that there is no phase change and that no work is done on or by the system. Experiments show that the transferred heat depends on three factors—the change in temperature, the mass of the system, and the substance and phase of the substance.

Figure a shows a copper-colored cylinder of mass m and temperature change delta T. The heat Q, shown as a wavy rightward horizontal arrow, is transferred to the cylinder from the left. To the right of this image is a similar image, except that the heat transferred Q prime is twice the heat Q. The temperature change of this second cylinder, which is also labeled m, is two delta T. This cylinder is surrounded by small black wavy lines radiating outward. Figure b shows the same two cylinders as in Figure a. The left cylinder is labeled m and delta T and has a wavy heat arrow pointing at it from the left that is labeled Q. The right cylinder is labeled two m and delta T and has a wavy heat arrow pointing to it from the left labeled Q prime equals two Q. Figure c shows the same copper cylinder of mass m and with temperature change delta T, with heat Q being transferred to it. To the right of this cylinder, Q prime equals ten point eight times Q is being transferred to another cylinder filled with water whose mass and change in temperature are the same as that of the copper cylinder.

A capacitor with an initial potential difference of 100 V is discharged through a resistor when a switch between them is closed at t 0.At t 10.0 s, the potential difference across the capacitor is 1.00 V. (a) What is the time constant of the circuit

Answers

Answer:

τ = RC = 2.17 s

Explanation:

The voltage through a capacitor can't change instantaneously, so immediately after the switch is closed, the potential difference will keep at 100 V.This voltage will produce a flow of charge (a current) from the capacitor to the resistor, which will be diminishing continuously, till the capacitor be totally discharged, and the current becomes zero.The voltage through the capacitor will follow an exponential function of time, as follows:

       [tex]V_{C} =V_{o} * e^{-t/RC} (1)[/tex]

Replacing by the givens in (1):

       [tex]V_{C} = 1.00 V\\V_{o} = 100V\\t = 10.0 s[/tex]

      [tex]\frac{1.00V}{100 V} = e^{-10s/RC} (2)[/tex]

Taking ln on both sides in (2), and solving for RC, we have:

       [tex]R*C= \frac{-10s}{ln 0.01} = 2.17s (3)[/tex]

So, the time constant of the circuit (the product of R times C) is equal to 2.17s.

Answers

Answer:

C1 + C2 = 30     parallel connection

C1 * C2 / (C1 + C2) = 7.2  series connection

C1 * C2 = 7.2 * (C1 + C2) = 216

C2 + 216 / C2 = 30    using first equation

C2^2 + 216 = 30 C2

C2^2 - 30 C2 + 216 = 0

C2 = 12 or 18    solving the quadratic

The basal metabolic rate is the rate at which energy is produced in the body when a person is at rest. A 75-kg (165-lb) person of height 1.83 m (6 ft) has a body surface area of approximately 2.0 m2. (a) What is the net amount of heat this person could radiate per second into a room at 18°C (about 65°F) if his skin’s surface temperature is 30°C? (At such temperatures, nearly all the heat is infrared radiation, for which the body’s emissivity is 1.0, regardless of the amount of pigment.) (b) Normally, 80% of the energy produced by metabolism goes into heat, while the rest goes into things like pumping blood and repairing cells. Also normally, a person at rest can get rid of this excess heat just through radiation. Use your answer to part (a) to find this person’s basal metabolic rate.

Answers

Answer:

(a) Q = 142.67 W

(b) Basal Metabolic Rate = 178.33 W

Explanation:

(a)

We can find the heat radiated by the person by using Stefan-Boltzman's law:

[tex]Q = \sigma A (T^4 - T_{s}^4)\\[/tex]

where,

Q = heat radiated per second = ?

σ = Stefan-Boltzman Constant = 5.6703 x 10⁻⁸ W/m².k⁴

A = Surface Area = 2 m²

T = Temperature of Skin = 30° C + 273 = 303 k

Ts = Temperature of room = 18° C +273 = 291 k

Therefore,

[tex]Q = (5.6703\ x\ 10^{-8}\ W/m^2.k^4)(2\ m^2)[(303\ k)^4-(291\ k)^4][/tex]

Q = 142.67 W

(b)

Since the heat calculated in part (a) is 80 percent of basal metabolic rate. Therefore,

[tex]Q = (0.8)(Basal\ Metabolic\ Rate)\\Basal\ Metabolic\ Rate = \frac{Q}{0.8}\\\\Basal\ Metabolic\ Rate = \frac{142.67\ W}{0.8}[/tex]

Basal Metabolic Rate = 178.33 W

(a)  The  excess heat just through radiation Q = 142.67 W

(b) Basal Metabolic Rate = 178.33 W

What is metabolic rate?

Basal metabolic rate is the number of calories your body needs to accomplish its most basic (basal) life-sustaining functions.

(a) We can find the heat radiated by the person by using Stefan-Boltzman's law:

[tex]Q=\sigma A(T^4-T_s^4)[/tex]

where,

Q = heat radiated per second = ?

σ = Stefan-Boltzman Constant = 5.6703 x 10⁻⁸ W/m².k⁴

A = Surface Area = 2 m²

T = Temperature of Skin = 30° C + 273 = 303 k

Ts = Temperature of room = 18° C +273 = 291 k

Therefore,

[tex]Q=(5.6703\times 10^{-8}\times (2)\times[(303)-(291)][/tex]

Q = 142.67 W

(b) Since the heat calculated in part (a) is 80 percent of basal metabolic rate. Therefore,

[tex]\rm Q=0.8\times (Basal\ Metabolic\ Rate)[/tex]

[tex]\rm Basal\ metabolic \ Rate = \dfrac{Q}{0.8}[/tex]

[tex]\rm Basal\ Metabolic\ Rate = \dfrac{142.67}{0.8} =178.330W[/tex]

Basal Metabolic Rate = 178.33 W

Hence the  excess heat just through radiation Q = 142.67 and Basal Metabolic Rate = 178.33 W

What is  sea breeze?

Local wind patterns known as sea breezes flow from the sea to land during the day. When there is no strong large-scale wind system and it is very hot or very cold during the day or at night, sea breezes and land breezes alternate along the coasts of large lakes or oceans.

Because the sea breeze's surface flow ends over land, an area of low-level air convergence is created. Locally, this convergence frequently causes air to rise, which promotes the formation of clouds. Showers over land in the afternoon may result from such clouds.

Hence, the sea  breeze/wind moves from the land to the sea. This statement is NOT correct about sea breezes.
