Hello. Can you please use this equation for this problem, if there's a different equation please explain as well. I used keplers 3rd law but I think its wrong. if needed, the earth's rotation period is 47.
An intergalactic spaceship arrives at a distant planet that rotates on its axis with a period of T = 31 hours. The mass of the planet is M = 2.1 • 1025 kg. The spaceship enters a circular orbit with an orbital period that is equal to the planet's period for the rotation about its axis, T. a. Enter an expression for the radius of the spaceship’s orbit. b. Calculate the orbital radius in meters.
A large spherical gas cloud of radius = 5 x109 km has a mass = 2.4 x1030 kg, and is spinning to make one revolution in 60 years (i.e. Earth years, each of 365 days of 24 hours each). Due to gravity, the cloud gets smaller to a radius = 1.2 x106 km. What will be its period of rotation in minutes?
Part B: How many revolutions does it make before reaching full speed? Express your answer in revolutions using two significant figures.
Group Homework 3, due Friday, February 11, at the beginning of class A coin is placed near the edge of a turntable of radius R rotating with constant frequency f. The figure shows a top view of the arrangement. a) What is the relation between the radius of the turntable, the frequency of revolution, and the speed of the coin? Remember f 1/T. b) Add an arrow to the figure indicating the direction of acceleration of the coin when it rotates with the turntable c) Draw a free-body diagram for the coin in side view. Please remember to include a coordinate system and to label your forces. d) If the turntable rotates slowly, the coin will move with the turntable. However, if it rotates too fast, the coin will slide off. Assuming that the static friction coefficient between the coin and the turntable is us, derive an equation for the maximum frequency at which the turntable can spin before the coin slides off. e) If the maximum speed is exceeded, the coin slides off. For this case, add the…
