The eccentricity of its orbit is $$U=-2.13 \times 10^{17} \mathrm{~J} .\end{aligned}$$

<h3>What is mass?</h3>
  • Mass is a physical body's total amount of matter. It also serves as a gauge for the body's inertia or resistance to acceleration (change in velocity) in the presence of a net force. The strength of an object's gravitational pull to other bodies is also influenced by its mass.
  • The kilogram is the SI unit of mass (kg). In science and technology, a body's weight in a given reference frame is the force that causes it to accelerate at a rate equal to the local acceleration of free fall in that frame.
  • For instance, a kilogram mass weighs around 2.2 pounds at the surface of the planet. However, the same kilogram mass would weigh just about 0.8 pounds on Mars and about 5.5 pounds on Jupiter.
  • An object's mass is a crucial indicator of how much stuff it contains. Weight is a measurement of an object's gravitational pull. It is influenced by the object's location in addition to its mass. As a result, weight is a measurement of force.

The length of the semi-major axis is calculated as follows:

where, $G=6.67 \times 10^{-1} \mathrm{~m}^3 / \mathrm{kgs}$

$M=1.99 \times 10^{30} \mathrm{~kg}=$mass of sur

$m=1.20 \times 10^{10} \mathrm{~kg}$ - a mass of the comet

$$\begin{aligned}\therefore \quad \text { At aphelion, } r &=50 \times U \\&=50 \times 1.496 \times 10^{11} \mathrm{~m} . \\U=-\frac{6.67 \times 10^{-11} \times \mathrm{m} 1.99 \times 10^{30} \times 1.20 \times 10^{10}}{50 \times 1.496 \times 10^{11}} \\U=-2.13 \times 10^{17} \mathrm{~J} .\end{aligned}$$

$$U=-2.13 \times 10^{17} \mathrm{~J} .\end{aligned}$$

Carbon is allowed to diffuse through a steel plate 15 mm thick. The concentrations of carbon at the two faces are 0.65 and 0.30
beks73 [17]

Answer:

T=575.16K

Explanation:

To solve the problem we proceed to use the 1 law of diffusion of flow,

Here,

J=-D\frac{\Delta C}{\Delta x}

\Delta C is the rate in concentration

\Delta xis the rate in thickness

D is the diffusion coefficient, where,

D= D_0 exp(\frac{Q_d}{RT})

Replacing D in the first law,

J=-(D_0 exp(\frac{-Q_D}{RT}))\frac{\Delta }{\Delta x}

clearing T,

T=\frac{Q_d}{R*ln(\frac{J*\Delta x}{D_0*\Delta C})}

Replacing our values

T=-\frac{80000}{8.31*ln(\frac{(6.2*10^{-7})(-15*10^{-3})}{(1.43*10^{-9})(0.65-0.30)})}

T=-\frac{80000}{-138.09}

T=575.16K

In a shipping yard, a crane operator attaches a cable to a 1,400 kg shipping container and then uses the crane to lift the conta
Molodets [167]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of crane m=1400\ kg

distance moved d=40\ m

Since it is moving with a constant velocity therefore net force on it is zero

Tension force=weight

T=mg

Work done by Tension T is

W_T=T\cdot d

W_T=1400\times 9.8\cdot 40

W_T=548.8\ KJ

Work done by Gravity will be equal in magnitude but opposite in sign and can be obtained by work energy theorem which states that change in kinetic energy of object is equal to work done by all the forces

W_T+W_g=0

W_g=-548.8\ KJ

a 25 kg object is pushed with a horizontal force of 5 N esat across a table. If the force of friction is 2 N, what is the accele
Julli [10]

Answer:

Apply Newton's second law in the moving direction.

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}F &= ma\\5N-2N &= 25kg\times a\\a & = \frac{3N}{25kg}\\&= 0.12ms^{-2}\end{aligned}

Friction force applies in the opposite direction of motion; as a restriction.
