re: HSC Physics Marathon Archive

^^ so many students get these types of questions incorrect!!

kepler's 3rd law
since they all orbit the same central body (the sun) GM/4(pi)^2 is constant
So you can equate r1^3/t1^2=r2^3/t2^2

Ahhh thanks Parbee!
Can you also explain the question above above if you're not busy?

F=nBILsin(theta)
You need to work out the length of the wire in the field, getting l=0.3/sin(30)=3/5
therefore F=5x10^-4 x 3 x 3/5 x sin(30)= 4.5x10^-4 N
( I think dis is right, its been so long lel)

Sometimes...I just have retarded moments...
Thanks again Parbee

re: HSC Physics Marathon Archive

maybe im derping but uhm all the answers seem wrong, if you work backwards you find that they all give a radius thats x10^15 :/

v=sqrt(GM/r)= sqrt[(6.67x10^-11 x 1.9x10^27)/(7.78x10^11 + 7.15x10^7)]=403.6ms^-1 x (10^-3)/(1/3600)= 1453 kmh^-1

Use (delta)x= Ux x t where (delta)x is your range and t is your time of flight

re: HSC Physics Marathon Archive

Wow these questions have a lot of wrong answers then. I did use Ux.t=delta x but none of the answers are correct.
For the first one I also got 403 and for the second one I'm getting 33.25
Good to know I'm not that incompetent(though it wasted a lot of my time) :)

403 is in ms^-1, don't forget to convert to kmh^-1

and for 33.25 i guess you would choose the closest which is 33.4

Why did you substitute this ^?. Isn't M meant to be mass of the primary ie the sun not the mass of Jupiter itself?

Oh I thought we're assuming an object is orbiting jupiter at the given distance

re: HSC Physics Marathon Archive

I think they're meant to be in km/s ?--> I'm getting 13.1 km/s
If it is orbiting the sun then this is correct (even though they didn't give the mass of the sun :L)
