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

Jaiden is writing a report about the structure of the atom. In her report, she says that the atom has three main parts and two s
USPshnik [31]
No because an atom consists of <u>two</u> main parts <em>and</em> <u>three</u> subatomic particles - protons, neutrons, electrons. Each one is smaller than an atom, therefore they are subatomic particles. An atom only requires protons and electrons to be an atom - e.g. Hydrogen has 1 proton and 1 electron. Neutrons do not affect the overall charge of the atom, and only increase the atomic mass.

A 740-kg boulder is raised from a quarry 119 m deep by a long uniform chain having a mass of 550 kg . This chain is of uniform s
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

A) the maximum acceleration the boulder can have and still get out of the quarry

B) how long does it take to be lifted out at maximum acceleration if it started from rest

Explanation:

A)

let +y is upward. look below at the free body diagram. the mass M refers to the combined mass of the boulder and chain.

the weight of the chain is:   w_{c} =m_{c} g   and maximum tension is T=2.50 m_{c} g=1.41*10^4N

total mass and weight is :

M =m_{c}+ m_{b} =740kg+550kg=1290 kg

w_{M} =1.2650*10^4N

∑F_{y} =ma_{y}

T-M_{g} =Ma_{y}

a_{y} =(t-M_{g} )/M=(2.50m_{c} -M_{g} )/M=(2.50.550kg-1290kg)(9.8m/s^2)/1290kg

=0.645m/s^2

B)

maximum acceleration

a_{y} =0.645m/s^2\\\\y-y_{0} =119m\\v_{0y} =0

using y-y_{0} =v_{oy} t+1/2(a_{y} )t^2

to solve for t

t=\sqrt{2(y-y_{0} )/a_{y} }

t=\sqrt{2(119m)/0.645m/s^2} =19.20s
