Not sure this is entirely right but hey why not, right. <span> A planet orbiting a star orbits in an ellipse. Sometimes it's closer to the star and sometimes it's further. When it's closer to the star, the gravity on the planet from the star is stronger, so the planet speeds up. The area the planet sweeps over is equal because when it speeds up the length covered along the orbital path is greater, but it is also closer to the star, and that dimension is decreased. And because of our very intelligently designed and organized universe, these two factors cancel each other out perfectly </span>

Answer:

Since there is no torque on the planet with respect to position of Sun

So the angular momentum of the planet is always constant

hence the rate of change in area with respect to sun is always constant

Explanation:

As we know that rate of area swept by the planet is given as

v_a = \frac{dA}{dt}

here we know that small area swept by the planet is given as

dA = \frac{1}{2}r^2\theta

now rate of area swept by the planet is given as

\frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{1}{2}r^2\frac{d\theta}{dt}

\frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{1}{2}r^2\omega

so we have

\frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{1}{2m}(mr^2\omega)

here we know that angular momentum of the planet with respect to sun is given as

L = mr^2\omega

so we have

\frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{L}{2m}

since we know that there is no torque on the system of planet with respect to sun

So angular momentum of the planet will remain constant

hence we can say

\frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{L}{2m} = constant always

If a battery causes a wire to carry a current of 4 Amps how many coulombs of charge flow past any point in the wire in 3 seconds
BabaBlast [244]

▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪  {\huge\mathfrak{Answer}}▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪

According to above question ~

  • Current (I) = 4 Amperes

  • Time (t) = 3 seconds

  • Charge (q) = ?

Let's find the charge (q) by using formula ~

  • I =  \dfrac{q}{t}

  • 4 =  \dfrac{q}{3}

  • q = 4 \times 3

  • q = 12 \:  \: coulombs

Hence, 12 coulombs of charge flow past any point in the wire in 3 seconds

The flywheel of a steam engine runs with a constant angular speed of 113 $rev/min$. When steam is shut off, the friction of the
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

α = - 1.883 rev/min²

Explanation:

Given

ωin = 113 rev/min

ωfin = 0 rev/min

t = 1.0 h = 60 min

α = ?

we can use the following equation

ωfin = ωin + α*t      ⇒     α = (ωfin - ωin) / t

⇒     α = (0 rev/min - 113 rev/min) / (60 min)

⇒     α = - 1.883 rev/min²
