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>.

The sound intensity at a distance 2.00 m from a sound source is 5.00 Find the total sound energy emitted by the source in each s

notka56 [123]

Answer:

P = 251, 3 W

Explanation:

The intensity is defined as the power emitted per unit area

I = P / A

Since sound is distributed in all directions spherical shape, the area of a sphere is

A = 4π r²

let's clear the power and replace

P = I A

P = I (4π r²)

let's calculate

P = 5.00 (4π 2²)

P = 251, 3 W

A uniform rod is 2.0 m long. The rod is pivoted about a horizontal, frictionless pin through one end. The moment of inertia of t

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

Angular acceleration = 6.37rad/sec²

Approximately, Angular acceleration =

6.4 rad/sec²

Explanation:

Length of the rod = 2.0m long

Inclination of the rod (horizontal) = 30°

Mass of the rod is not given so we would refer to it as = M

Rotational Inertia of the Rod(I) = 1/3ML²

Angular Acceleration = ?

There is an equation that shows us the relationship between Torque and Angular acceleration.

The equation is :

Torque(T) = Inertia × Angular Acceleration

Angular acceleration = Torque ÷ Inertia

Where:

Torque = L/2(MgCosθ)

Where M = Mass

L = Length = 2.0m

θ = Inclination of the rod (horizontal) = 30°

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s²

Inertia = 1/3ML²

Angular Acceleration = (Mass × g × Cos (30°) × (L÷2)) ÷ 1/3ML²

Angular Acceleration =

(3 × g × cos 30°) ÷ 2× L

Angular Acceleration = (3 × 9.81m/s² × cos 30°) ÷ 2× L

Angular Acceleration = 3 × 9.81m/s² × cos 30°) ÷ 2× 2.0m

Angular Acceleration = 6.37rad/sec²

Approximately Angular Acceleration =

6.4rad/sec²

A factory has a solid copper sphere that needs to be drawn into a wire. The mass of the copper sphere is 76.5 kg. The copper nee

baherus [9]

Answer:

120.125 m

Explanation:

Density = Mass/volume

D = m/v .............................. Equation 1.

Where D = Density of the solid copper sphere, m = mass of the solid copper sphere, v = volume of the solid copper sphere.

Making v the subject of the equation,

v = m/D............................... Equation 2

Given: m = 76.5 kg,

Constant: D = 8960 kg/m .

Substituting into equation 2

v = 76.5/8960

v = 0.0085379 m³

Since the copper sphere is to be drawn into wire,

Volume of the copper sphere = volume of the wire

v = volume of the wire

Volume of wire = πd²L/4

Where d = diameter of the wire, L = length of the wire.

Note: A wire takes the shape of a cylinder.

v = πd²L/4 ........................ equation 3.

making L the subject of the equation,

L = 4v/πd²..................... Equation 4

Given: v = 0.0085379 m³, d = 9.50 mm = 0.0095 and π = 3.14

Substitute into equation 4

L = 4×0.0085379/(3.15×0.0095²)

L = 0.0341516/0.0002843

L = 120.125 m.

L = 120.125 m

Thus the length of the wire produced = 120.125 m

An infant's toy has a 120 g wooden animal hanging from a spring. If pulled down gently, the animal oscillates up and down with a

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

0.37 m

Explanation:

The angular frequency, ω, of a loaded spring is related to the period, T, by

$\omega = \dfrac{2\pi}{T}$

The maximum velocity of the oscillation occurs at the equilibrium point and is given by

$v = \omega A$

A is the amplitude or maximum displacement from the equilibrium.

$v = \dfrac{2\pi A}{T}$

From the the question, T = 0.58 and A = 25 cm = 0.25 m. Taking π as 3.142,

$v = \dfrac{2\times3.142\times0.25\text{ m}}{0.58\text{ s}} = 2.71 \text{ m/s}$

To determine the height we reached, we consider the beginning of the vertical motion as the equilibrium point with velocity, v. Since it is against gravity, acceleration of gravity is negative. At maximum height, the final velocity is 0 m/s. We use the equation

$v_f^2 = v_i^2+2ah$

$v_f$ is the final velocity, $v_i$ is the initial velocity (same as v above), a is acceleration of gravity and h is the height.

$h = \dfrac{v_f^2 - v_i^2}{2a}$

$h = \dfrac{0^2 - 2.71^2}{2\times-9.81} = 0.37 \text{ m}$
