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

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

The speed it reaches the bottom is

v=6.51m/s

Explanation:

Given: m=5.0kg, r=47cm\frac{1m}{100cm}=0.47m

Using the conservation of energy theorem

U_i=K_E+K_{ER}

m*g*h=\frac{1}{2}*m*v^2+\frac{1}{2}*I*w^2

v=r*w, I=\frac{1}{2}*m*r^2

m*g*h=\frac{1}{2}*m*(r*w)^2 +\frac{1}{2}*[\frac{1}{2} *m*r^2]*w^2

m*g*h=\frac{3}{4}*m*r^2*w^2

g*h=\frac{3}{4}*r^2*w^2

Solve to w'

w^2=\frac{4*g*h}{3*r^2}

h=x*sin(30)=6.5m*sin(30)=3.25m

w=\sqrt{\frac{4*9.8m/s^2*3.25m}{3*(0.235m)^2}}

w=27.74rad/s

v=27.74rad/s*0.235m=6.51m/s

Select the appropriate units for each property of a wave.
IceJOKER [234]

Intensity: Decibels

Amplitude: Meters

Frequency: Hertz

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Wave is not visible to eyes and they can easily propagate through vacuum. the average power travelling at a given period of time in a space is the intensity. Decibels is the measure of intensity. it is measured in the decibel scale. The wave's strength and the intensity gives the amplitude of wave. It is measured using meters.

The wave's amplitude and the energy has a direct proportionality.  The number occurrence of wave cycles per second refers to the frequency of wave. it is measured in hertz. it is also measured as the number of cycles that occurs per second.
