- I need help with this problem and an explanation for the solution described below. (University Physics 1: Thermodynamics)arrow_forwardAn astronomer discovered two planets, X and Y, orbiting a star. From the perspective of the astronomer, the planets orbit the star as depicted in the figures. Five years ago, the planets were in the position shown in figure (a), with X, Y, and the star in a straight line. Today, planet X is in the position shown in figure (b), having made an angular displacement of 90.0°. If the radii of their orbits are in the ratio 5:4, what is the angular displacement of Y? (Give your answer in revolutions.) a b 1/5 × Equate Newton's law of universal gravitation with his second law, noting that the force in this case is a centripetal force, and use the relationship among angular velocity, radius, and linear velocity.

- A bird dives to catch a fish at 5.00 m/s. Biologists say this bird makes a noise at 115.000 Hz. Field biologists are on a stationary boat as the bird approaches them, and they measure the frequency of the bird's sound to be 116.668 Hz. What is the air temperature that day, in degrees Fahrenheit? Express your answer to 3 sig figs. Note: This calculation is very sensitive to rounding.
