Answer:
[tex]a=32\ m/s^2[/tex]
Explanation:
Given that,
The velocity of an astronaut in a circular path, v = 16 m/s
The radius of the accelerator, r = 8 m
We need to find his centripetal acceleration. The formula that is used to find the centripetal acceleration is given by :
[tex]a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}\\\\a=\dfrac{(16)^2}{8}\\\\a=32\ m/s^2[/tex]
So, the required centripetal acceleration is [tex]32\ m/s^2[/tex].
As we know, the moon is a satellite of our earth, what is the
theoretical period of the moon? The average radius of the
moon's orbit is 3.84 108 m and the mass of the earth is 5.97 x
1024 kg (in hours, G = 6.67 x 10-9 N (m/kg) 3).
Answer:c
Explanation:c
This question involves the concepts of the time period, orbital radius, and gravitational constant.
The theoretical period of the moon is "658 hr".
The theoretical time period of the moon around the earth can be found using the following formula:
[tex]\frac{T^2}{R^3}=\frac{4\pi^2}{GM}[/tex]
where,
T = Time Period of Moon = ?
R = Orbital Radius = 3.84 x 10⁸ m
G = Gravitational Constant = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²
M = Mass of Earth = 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg
Therefore,
[tex]\frac{T^2}{(3.84\ x\ 10^8\ m)^3}=\frac{4\pi^2}{(6.67\ x\ 10^{-11}\ N.m^2/kg^2)(5.97\ x\ 10^{24}\ kg)}\\\\T^2=(9.91\ x\ 10^{-14}\ s^2/m^3)(56.62\ x\ 10^{24}\ m^3)\\\\T=\sqrt{561.34\ x\ 10^{10}\ s^2}[/tex]
T = 2.37 x 10⁶ s[tex](\frac{1\ h}{3600\ s})[/tex]
T = 658 hr
