Question:

A spaceship enters the solar system moving toward the Sun at a constant speed relative to the Sun. By its own clock, the time elapsed between the time it crosses the orbit of Jupiter and the time it crosses the orbit of Mars is 35.0 minutes

How fast is the spaceship traveling towards the Sun? The radius of the orbit of Jupiter is 43.2 light-minutes, and that of the orbit of Mars is 12.6 light-minutes.

Answer:

S = 5.508 × 10¹¹m

V = 2.62 × 10⁸ m/s

Explanation:

The radius of the orbit of Jupiter, Rj is 43.2 light-minutes

radius of the orbit of Mars, Rm is 12.6 light-minutes

Distance travelled S = (Rj - Rm)

= 43.2 - 12.6 = 30.6 light- minutes

= 30.6 × (3 ×10⁸m/s) × 60 s

= 5.508 × 10¹¹m

time = 35mins = (35 × 60 secs)

= 2100 secs

speed = distance/time

V = 5.508 × 10¹¹m / 2100 s

V = 2.62 × 10⁸ m/s

mel-nik [20]
<span>In this particular case, where car is moving through curvature, so it is moving in circular motion, force acting on car is centripetal force which holds car not to fly out. Centripetal force is always pointed in the middle of circle. Here frictional force has role of centripetal force. If frictional force is to weak, car would fly out of curvutare.</span>

A box of mass 26 kg is initially at rest on a flat floor. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor is 0
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

\Delta K = 52J

Explanation:

The change in kinetic energy will be simply the difference between the final and initial kinetic energies: \Delta K=K_f-K_i

We know that the formula for the kinetic energy for an object is:

K=\frac{mv^2}{2}

where <em>m </em>is the mass of the object and <em>v</em> its velocity.

For our case then we have:

\Delta K = K_f-K_i=\frac{mv_f^2}{2}-\frac{mv_i^2}{2}=\frac{m(v_f^2-v_i^2)}{2}

Which for our values is:

\Delta K = \frac{m(v_f^2-v_i^2)}{2} = \frac{(26Kg)((2m/s)^2-(0m/s)^2)}{2} = 52J
