Answer:

When it's closest to the sun.

Explanation:

The force of gravity acting on a planet is equal to its mass times its centripetal acceleration.

Fg = m v^2 / r

The force of gravity is defined by Newton's law of universal gravitation as:

Fg = mMG / r^2

Therefore:

mMG / r^2 = m v^2 / r

MG / r = v^2

v increases as r decreases.  So the planet is moving fastest when it's closest to the sun, also known as the <em>perihelion</em>.

Calculate the force needed to bring a 1,019-kg car to rest from a speed of 29 m/s in a distance of 118 m
son4ous [18]
Acceleration = ▵v/▵t
Time = d/v
Fisrt calculate time : ( 118/29 ) = 4 seconds
Then calculate acceleration
A = 29/4 = 7.25 m/s²
Now the force.
Force = mass * acceleration.
F= 1,019 * 7.25
F= 7,387 N

Robert has just bought a new model rocket, and is trying to measure its flight characteristics. The rocket engine package claims
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

The work done by the drag force is given by 29.96 J

Explanation:

Given :

Thrust force F = 12.3 N

Displacement d = 10.2 m

Mass of rocket m = 0.663 Kg

From work energy theorem,

  W = \Delta K

 W_{t} - Wd - W_{g} = KE

Where W_{t} = thrust work W_{g} = gravitational work

KE = 12.3 \times 10.2 -Wd - 0.663 \times 9.8 \times 10.2

KE = 59.2 -Wd

After cutoff kinetic energy is converted into potential energy,

KE = Wd' + mg\Delta h

Put value of KE

59.2 -Wd = Wd' + 0.663 \times 9.8 \times 4.5

Work done by drag force is given by,

Wd'+Wd =  59.2 -29.23

                 = 29.96 J

Therefore, the work done by the drag force is given by 29.96 J

A 17 kg box sitting on a shelf has a potential energy of 350 J. How high is the shelf? Round your answer to the nearest whole nu
Free_Kalibri [48]
Potential energy is mass * gravity * height. (m*g*h).

350 = 17*9.8*h   <--350 is its energy, 17kg is its mass, and 9.8 is gravity's acceleration on the object. We now just need to solve for h.

h = 350/(17 * 9.8) =  2.1 meters, which, when rounded to the nearest whole meter, is 2 meters.

The shelf is 2 meters high.
