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

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

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

What is the velocity of an object that has been in free fall for 1.5s?
Crank

Answer:

D. 15 m/s downward

Explanation:

v = at + v₀

v = (-9.8 m/s²) (1.5 s) + (0 m/s)

v = -14.7 m/s

Rounded to two significant figures, the answer is D, 15 m/s downward.
