KE depends on velocity. It is easier to answer this question in terms of the earth.

The closer the object (earth/comet) is to the sun, the faster it moves. that means that the fastest moving point would be as the comet/earth passes through point C.

The slowest speed would be the furthest away from the sun which is point A.

Answer: The faster the planet moves the greater the Kinetic Energy.

The Slower the planet moves, the less the KE.

Point A is where it is slowest with the lowest amount of energy.

Discussion

The formula for KE is KE = 1/2mv^2. The mass of the comet or earth is a constant. It doesn't change no matter which point the comet passes through. If v goes down KE will go down. If v goes up, KE goes up.

You posted the same picture yesterday, and learned that ‘C’ is the point of the MOST kinetic energy because it’s closest to the sun and moving fastest. Then I suggested that you review Kepler’s 2nd law.

From that answer OR from Kepler, it should be clear that the LEAST kinetic energy is at ‘A’ .

The age of the universe is around 100,000,000,000,000,000s. A top quark has a lifetime of roughly 0.000000000000000000000001s. W

Answer:

10⁴¹ s quark top lives have been in the history of the universe.

Explanation:

You need to determine how many quark top lives there have been in the history of the universe, that is, what is the age of the universe divided by the lifetime of a top quark. Expressed in a formula, this is:

$t\frac{Age of the universe}{Lifetime of a top quark}$

Yo know that the "Age of the universe" is 100,000,000,000,000,000 which can also be expressed as 10¹⁷ s .

You also know that the "Lifetime of a top quark" is 0.000000000000000000000001 which can also be expressed as 10⁻²⁴ s.

Then $t=\frac{10^{17} }{10^{-24} }$

Recalling that the result of dividing two powers of the same base is another power with the same base where the exponent is the subtraction of the initial exponents, it is possible to calculate this division as follows:

$t=10^{17-(-24)}$

$t=10^{17+24}$

t=10⁴¹ s

So 10⁴¹ s quark top lives have been in the history of the universe.

You want to estimate the diameter of a very small circular pinhole that you've made in a piece of aluminum foil. to do so, you s

Leya [2.2K]

Central maximum = d* wavelength/ D
thus
12*10-^3 = 3.4*6.32*10-^7/D
D = 3.4*6.32*10-^7/12*10-^3
D = 1.79*10-^4 m

What elements are good conductors of electricity?

kramer

In solids: All metals are good conductors of electricity as they contain free moving electrons. Non-metals doesn't conduct , but we consider Graphite the only non-metal that can conduct electricity for the presence of free moving electrons.

In Liquids ; Ionic compunds contains free moving ions , so they conduct electricity as well .
