Answer:

29274.93096 m/s

2.73966\times 10^{33}\ J

-5.39323\times 10^{33}\ J

2.56249\times 10^{33}\ J

-5.21594\times 10^{33}

Explanation:

r_p = Distance at perihelion = 1.471\times 10^{11}\ m

r_a = Distance at aphelion = 1.521\times 10^{11}\ m

v_p = Velocity at perihelion = 3.027\times 10^{4}\ m/s

v_a = Velocity at aphelion

m = Mass of the Earth =  5.98 × 10²⁴ kg

M = Mass of Sun = 1.9889\times 10^{30}\ kg

Here, the angular momentum is conserved

L_p=L_a\\\Rightarrow r_pv_p=r_av_a\\\Rightarrow v_a=\frac{r_pv_p}{r_a}\\\Rightarrow v_a=\frac{1.471\times 10^{11}\times 3.027\times 10^{4}}{1.521\times 10^{11}}\\\Rightarrow v_a=29274.93096\ m/s

Earth's orbital speed at aphelion is 29274.93096 m/s

Kinetic energy is given by

K=\frac{1}{2}mv_p^2\\\Rightarrow K=\frac{1}{2}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}(3.027\times 10^{4})^2\\\Rightarrow K=2.73966\times 10^{33}\ J

Kinetic energy at perihelion is 2.73966\times 10^{33}\ J

Potential energy is given by

P=-\frac{GMm}{r_p}\\\Rightarrow P=-\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}}{1.471\times  10^{11}}\\\Rightarrow P=-5.39323\times 10^{33}

Potential energy at perihelion is -5.39323\times 10^{33}\ J

K=\frac{1}{2}mv_a^2\\\Rightarrow K=\frac{1}{2}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}(29274.93096)^2\\\Rightarrow K=2.56249\times 10^{33}\ J

Kinetic energy at aphelion is 2.56249\times 10^{33}\ J

Potential energy is given by

P=-\frac{GMm}{r_a}\\\Rightarrow P=-\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}}{1.521\times 10^{11}}\\\Rightarrow P=-5.21594\times 10^{33}

Potential energy at aphelion is -5.21594\times 10^{33}\ J

At what common temperature will a block of wood and a block of metal both feel neither hot nor cold to the touch ?
Anastaziya [24]

When you touch an object and heat flows OUT of it, INTO your finger, you say the object feels hot.

When you touch an object and heat flows INTO it, OUT of your finger, you say the object feels cold.

If the object has the same temperature as your finger ... <em>around the mid-90s</em> ... then no heat flows in or out of your finger when you touch the object, and the object doesn't feel hot or cold.

An unstable nucleus which has a tendency to spontaneously change its form with the emission of high-energy particles or photons
Pepsi [2]

Answer:Radioactive

Explanation:

The radioactive nucleus is the one which does not has enough binding energy to hold the nucleus in a stable state and thus radiates either electron or proton to become a stable element.

A radioactive element is formed when after billions of years such as uranium and thorium. The stability of the nucleus depends upon the opposition of attractive and repulsive force among the nucleus.

5. Sarah is standing 32.0 m away from Jason. If Sarah throws a snowball at a 45 degree
padilas [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

If air resistance is ignored and assume UP and Toward Jason are the positive directions.

horizontal analysis

d = (vx₀)t

t = d/vx₀

horizontal analysis

0 = vy₀t + ½gt²

0 = vy₀(d/vx₀)+ ½g(d/vx₀)²

as vy₀ = v₀sin45 and vx₀ = v₀cos45 and are equal.

0 = d + ½g(d²/v₀²cos²45)

-d = ½g(d²/v₀²cos²45)

-dv₀² = ½g(d²/cos²45)

   v₀² = -½g(d/cos²45)

   v₀² = -½(-9.81(32.0/cos²45)

   v₀² = 313.92

   v₀ = 17.717787...

   v₀ = 17.7 m/s

The concept of energy can be calculated in multiple ways. Which units are used for energy? Check all that apply. joules kilogram
MrMuchimi

Answer:

W = F * S    = Newtons * Distance = Joules (definition)

Joules and KiloJoules are obviously methods of describing energy

F = M a = kg * m / s^2       definition of force

F * S = kg * m^2 / s^2     also describes work

To keep with the law of conservation of matter, determine the correct product for the following reaction:
user100 [1]

Answer:

B) PbI2 + 2 KCl

Explanation:

To keep the the law of conservation of matter, the equation given above must be balanced i.e the total element in the reactant must be equal to the total elements in the product.

Given the equation

PbCl2 (aq) + 2 KI (aq) →

At the reactant shown, there are one mole of lead Pb, 2 moles of chlorine Cl, 2moles of Potassium K and 2 moles of Iodine.

During reaction, the Chlorine atom will react with the potassium atom K and the lead atom Pb will react with the iodine atom.

The resulting product that will balance the chemical equation is

PbI2 + 2 KCl

The equation will then become

PbCl2 (aq) + 2 KI (aq) → PbI2 + 2 KCl

If we look at both sides of the equation, we will see that all the elements have the same number of atoms.
