Answer:

The gravity is roughly the same. The inverse square law applies to gravity and that means that being 60 miles above Earth is about the same as being on Earth. The thing is, they are going really fast in an orbit and thus falling around the Earth. The weightlessness comes from a sort of cancellation of gravity pulling them down and their going perpendicular to that force. The forces are cancelling and making them relatively “weightless”. It’s not really weightlessness but just an equilibrium reached between the two accelerations of gravity and their motion against the pull of the Earth.

The graph below shows the speed of a car as it drives along a racetrack.

nordsb [41]

Answer:

Average speed = distance/time

From 1 to 9 seconds:

Distance covered = 1 - 0.2 = 0.8 km

Time = 9 - 1 = 8 sec

Average speed = 0.8 km / 8 sec

Average speed = 0.1 km/s .

The average speed for the whole test is 1.6 km / 20 sec = 0.08 km/sec. A graph of speed vs time would average out as a horizontal line at 0.08 km/sec from 1 sec to 21 sec. The area under it would be (0.08 km/s) x (20 sec) = 1.6 km.

Surprise surprise ! The area under a speed/time graph is the distance covered during that time !

In closing, I want to express my gratitude for the gracious bounty of 3 points with which I have been showered. Moreover, the green breadcrust and tepid cloudy water have also been refreshing.

Compare the geology of Callisto, Ganymede, and Titan.

V125BC [204]

Explanation: Ganymede, Callisto, Titan are the moons of outer planets or gaseous planets which are made up of ice and rock. Callisto is an ice-covered moon and has no inner or outer activity and is considered basically geologically dead. Ganymede has rocky core and shows signs of tectonic activity, including long cracks in the crust and regions of young surface terrain. Titan has active geology of liquid hydrocarbons on the surface, rain back onto the surface and evaporation into the atmosphere. It has similar size, composition and mass to Ganymede and Callisto.

Answer:

Follows are the solution to the given question:

Explanation:

For point a:

$T= 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}\\\\k = \frac{4 \pi^2 m}{T^2}\\\\= \frac{4 \times (3.14)^2 \times 3}{2^2}\\\\=29.578 \ \frac{N}{m}\\\\$

For Point b:

$E=\frac{1}{2} m a^2 w^2\\\\$

$=\frac{1}{2} \times m \times a^2 \times \frac{4\pi^2}{T^2}\\\\=\frac{1}{2} \times 3 \times (0.15)^2 \times \frac{4\times 3.14^2}{2^2}\\\\=0.332 \ J$

For Point C:

$V_{max}= a w$

$= (0.15) \times \frac{2\pi}{T}\\\\= (0.15) \times \frac{2\times 3.14}{2}\\\\=0.471 \frac{m}{s}$

For point D:

$X= a \sin (wt+ \phi)\\\\0.91=0.15 \sin(\frac{2\pi}{T} \times t+\phi)\\\\0.91=0.15 \sin(\frac{2\times 3.14}{2} \times 0.5+\phi)\\\\0.60 = \sin(3.14 \times 0.5+\phi)\\\\0.60 = \sin(1.57+\phi)\\\\1.57 +\phi =\sin^{-1} 60^{\circ}\\\\1.57 +\phi = 36.86^{\circ}\\\\=35.29^{\circ}\\\\So, X=15 \sin(3.14t+35.29^{\circ}) \ cm$
