3 0

The Earth’s average orbital speed expressed in kilometers per hours is 107225.5 Km/hr and the mass of the sun is 2.58 x $10^{24}$ Kg

<h3>Relationship between Linear and angular speed</h3>

Linear speed is the product of angular speed and the maximum displacement of the particle. That is,

V = Wr

Where

V = Linear speed

W = Angular speed

r = Radius

Given that the earth orbits the sun at an average circular radius of about 149.60 million kilometers every 365.26 Earth days.

a) To determine the Earth’s average orbital speed, we will make use of the below formula to calculate angular speed

W = 2 $\pi$ /T

W = (2 x 3.143) / (365.26 x 24)

W = 6.283 / 876624

W = 7.2 x $10^{-4}$ Rad/hr

The Earth’s average orbital speed V = Wr

V = 7.2 x $10^{-4}$ x 149.6 x $10^{6}$

V = 107225.5 kilometers per hours.

b) Based on the information given in this question, to calculate the approximate mass of the Sun, we will use Kepler's 3rd law

M = (4 $\pi ^{2}$ $r^{3}$ ) / G $T^{2}$

M = (4 x 9.8696 x 3.35 x $10^{24}$ ) / (6.67 x $10^{-11}$ x 7.68 x $10^{11}$ <em>)</em>

<em>M = 1.32 x </em> $10^{26}$ / 51.226

M = 2.58 x $10^{24}$ Kg

Therefore, the Earth’s average orbital speed expressed in kilometers per hours is 107225.5 Km/hr and the mass of the sun is 2.58 x $10^{24}$ Kg

An archer puts a 0.30 kg arrow to the bowstring. An average force of 201 N is exerted to draw the string back 1.3 m.a. Assuming

Vlad [161]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of archer $m=0.3\ kg$

Average force $F_{avg}=201\ N$

extension in arrow $x=1.3\ m$

Work done to stretch the bow with arrow

$W=F\cdot x$

$W=201\times 1.3=261.3\ m$

This work done is converted into kinetic Energy of arrow

$W=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where v= velocity of arrow

$261.3=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.3\times v^2$

$v=\sqrt{1742}$

$v=41.73\ m/s$

(b)if arrow is thrown vertically upward then this energy is converted to Potential energy

$W=mgh$

$261.3=0.3\times 9.8\times h$

$h=\frac{261.3}{0.3\times 9.8}$

$h=88.87\ m$

If a hot steel tool of 1200°C was put in a bucket to cool and the bucket contained 15L of water of 15°C, and the water temperatu

Mashcka [7]

3.6 kg.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

How much heat does the hot steel tool release?

This value is the same as the amount of heat that the 15 liters of water has absorbed.

Temperature change of water:

$\Delta T = T_2 - T_1= 48\; \textdegree{\text{C}}- 15\; \textdegree{\text{C}} = 33 \; \textdegree{\text{C}}$ .

Volume of water:

$V = 15 \; \text{L} = 15 \; \text{dm}^{3} = 15 \times 10^{3} \; \text{cm}^{3}$ .

Mass of water:

$m = \rho \cdot V = 1.00 \; \text{g} \cdot \text{cm}^{-3} \times 15 \times 10^{3} \; \text{cm}^{3} = 15 \times 10^{3} \; \text{g}$ .

Amount of heat that the 15 L water absorbed:

$Q = c\cdot m \cdot \Delta T = 4.18 \; \text{J} \cdot \text{g}^{-1} \cdot \textdegree{\text{C}}^{-1} \times 15 \times 10^{3} \; \text{g} \times 33 \; \textdegree{\text{C}} = 2.06910 \times 10^{6}\; \text{J}$ .

What's the mass of the hot steel tool?

The specific heat of carbon steel is $0.49 \; \text{J} \cdot \text{g}^{-1} \cdot \textdegree{\text{C}}^{-1}$ .

The amount of heat that the tool has lost is the same as the amount of heat the 15 L of water absorbed. In other words,

$Q(\text{absorbed}) = Q(\text{released}) =2.06910 \times 10^{6}\; \text{J}$ .

$\Delta T = T_2 - T_1 = 1200\; \textdegree{\text{C}} -{\bf 48}\; \textdegree{\text{C}} = 1152\; \textdegree{\text{C}}$ .

$m = \dfrac{Q}{c\cdot \Delta T} = \dfrac{2.06910 \times 10^{6} \; \text{J}}{0.49\; \text{J} \cdot \text{g}^{-1} \cdot \textdegree{\text{C}}^{-1} \times 1152\; \textdegree{\text{C}}} = 3.6 \times 10^{3} \; \text{g} = 3.6 \; \text{kg}$ .

The gas pressure inside a container decreases when

avanturin [10]

Answer:

When the volume increases or when the temperature decreases

Explanation:

The ideal gas equation states that:

$pV= nRT$

where

p is the gas pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles of gas

R is the gas constant

T is the gas temperature

Assuming that we have a fixed amount of gas, so n is constant, we can rewrite the equation as

$\frac{pV}{T}=const.$

which means the following:

- Pressure is inversely proportional to the volume: this means that the pressure decreases when the volume increases

- Pressure is directly proportional to the temperature: this means that the pressure decreases when the temperature decreases
