The radius of Earth's circular trajectory is
R=1.5*10^{11} m
The time for the Earth to travel around the Sun is
t=365(days)*24(hours)*3600(seconds) =3.1536*10^7 (s)
Thus the velocity is velocity
v=2\pi R/t =2\pi *1.5*10^{11}/(3.1536*10^{7})=2.99*10^4 (m/s)
From this we can deduce the centripetal acceleration
a=v^2/R =(2.99*10^4)^2/(1.5*10^{11}) =5.96*10^{-3}  (m/s^2)
Angular velocity is
\omega =v/R =(2.99*10^4)/(1.5*10^{11})=2*10^{-7} (rad/s)

A toy car has an initial acceleration of 2 m/s" across a horizontal surface after it is released from rest. After the car travel
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

Closed system, because the speed of the car is as expected in the case where an object has uniform acceleration for a time t

Explanation:

Here in the question it is mentioned that a toy car has an initial acceleration of 2m/s²  across a horizontal surface so we can say that it is acted upon by an external force

Assuming that the acceleration is constant and the reason for this assumption is there at the last

The major difference between an open system and closed system is in case of open system there will be transfer of matter and in case of closed system there will be no change in matter of the system

If acceleration is constant in case of closed system we can expect the speed of the car after a time t by using the formula

  s = u×t + 0·5×a×t²

where s is the distance travelled

t is the time taken to travel that distance

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration of that system

But in case of open system as there will be a change of mass there will be a change in velocity of the system so in this case we cannot expect the speed of the car after a time t

And if the acceleration is not constant then we cannot say that the toy car is an open system or closed system, that is why we are assuming that the acceleration of the toy car is constant

A football player kicks a football downfield. The height of the football increases until it reaches a maximum height of 15 yards
Trava [24]

Answer:

kick 1 has travelled 15 + 15 = 30 yards before hitting the ground

so kick 2 travels 25 + 25 = 50 yards before hitting the ground

first kick reached 8 yards and 2nd kick reached 20 yards  

Explanation:

1st kick travelled 15 yards to reach maximum height of 8 yards

so, it has travelled 15 + 15 = 30 yards before hitting the ground

2nd kick is given by the equation

y (x) = -0.032x(x - 50)

Y = 1.6 X - 0.032x^2

we know that maximum height occurs is given as

x = -\frac{b}{2a}

y =- \frac{1.6}{2(-0.032)} = 25

and maximum height is

y = 1.6\times 25 - 0.032\times 25^2

y = 20

so kick 2 travels 25 + 25 = 50 yards before hitting the ground

first kick reached 8 yards and 2nd kick reached 20 yards

When a honeybee flies through the air, it develops a charge of +20 pC . Part A How many electrons did it lose in the process of
Yuri [45]

Answer:

1.3 × 10⁸ e⁻

Explanation:

When a honeybee flies through the air, it develops a charge of +20 pC = + 20 × 10⁻¹² C. This is a consequence of losing electrons (negative charges). The charge of 1 mole of electrons is 96468 C (Faraday's constant). The moles of electrons representing 20 pC are:

20 × 10⁻¹² C × (1 mol e⁻/ 96468 C) = 2.1 × 10⁻¹⁶ mol e⁻

1 mole of electrons has 6.02 × 10²³ electrons (Avogadro's number). The electrons is 2.1 × 10⁻¹⁶ moles of electrons are:

2.1 × 10⁻¹⁶ mol e⁻ × (6.02 × 10²³ e⁻/ 1 mol e⁻) = 1.3 × 10⁸ e⁻

. Rohit had only one light source in his room. He was told by his friend that he can make the room more lighted by using mirror.
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

very smooth and polished glass mirror

Explanation:

The best type of mirror for this would be a very smooth and polished glass mirror. A metal mirror will also work but it would need to be extremely polished. This would allow light to efficiently be reflected across the room, thus effectively adding an "extra" light source to the room. If the mirror is not smooth then the light may become distorted and not reflect properly as it is supposed to. This may defeat the entire purpose of the mirror for this scenario.
