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

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

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

Chan Hee is inflating a basketball using an air pump. He notices that the pump gets warm as he uses it. What is a good hypothesi
likoan [24]

"If air in a pump is squeezed more, then the air gets hotter because energy is added to it" is a good hypothesis that could lead to new experimentation.

<u>Option: C</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

If we use a pump to inflate a basketball, we initially pull the handle to draw air to fill the sphere in. As we move it down we apply a great deal of force to pump in air through the pin's tiny hole because of this resistance force in the air we find the tube warmed.

A needle of ball pump is a metal tube in which air, from an inflating pump to a sports ball, moves through it. In continuous-flow operation, pumps are often used and built to produce comparatively little pressure towards a free-flowing environment with limited back pressure. Such pumps have a fixed configuration and work freely along their power curve as circumstances change.

Find the absolute value of the change of the gravitational potential energy (GPE) of the puck-Earth system from the moment the p
jekas [21]

Answer:

0.16joules

Explanation:

Using the relation for The gravitational potential energy

E= Mgh

Where,

E= Potential energy

h = Vertical Height

M = mass

g = Gravitational Field Strength

To find the vertical component of angle of launch Where the angle is 22°

h= sin theta

So E = mghsintheta

= 0.18 x 0.98 x 0.253 sin22

=0.16joules

100 points!!! Please help!!!
Greeley [361]

Answer:

41°

Explanation:

Kinetic energy at bottom = potential energy at top

½ mv² = mgh

½ v² = gh

h = v²/(2g)

h = (2.4 m/s)² / (2 × 9.8 m/s²)

h = 0.294 m

The pendulum rises to a height of  above the bottom.  To determine the angle, we need to use trigonometry (see attached diagram).

L − h = L cos θ

cos θ = (L − h) / L

cos θ = (1.2 − 0.294) / 1.2

θ = 41.0°

Rounded to two significant figures, the pendulum makes a maximum angle of 41° with the vertical.

You hold a bucket in one hand. In the bucket is a 500 g rock. You swing the bucket so the rock moves in a vertical circle 2.2 m
slavikrds [6]

Answer:v=3.28 m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of rock m=500 gm

diameter of circle d=2.2 m

radius r=\frac{2.2}{2}=1.1 m

At highest Point

mg+N=\frac{mv^2}{r}

At highest Point N=0 because mass is just balanced by centripetal Force

thus mg=\frac{mv^2}{r}

v=\sqrt{gr}

v=\sqrt{9.8\times 1.1}

v=\sqrt{10.78}

v=3.28 m/s
