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

How long would it take to walk 10000 miles?
SpyIntel [72]
Well if you take 10 minutes to walk each mile and you don't stop by continuously walking... it would take approximately 69 and a half daysSource(s):<span>10 minutes x 10,000 miles= 100,000 minutes 
100,000 minutes/ 60 minutes (1 hour)= 1,666.66667 hours 

1,666.66667 hours/ 24 hours (1 day)= 69.4444446 days 
69.4444446 days rounds to 69.5 days which means that would be about 2 months and a week.</span>

1. If the strength of the magnetic field at B is 3 units, the strength of the magnetic field at A is _____.
Ymorist [56]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

C. 12 units

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • If the strength of the magnetic field at B is 3 units, the strength of the magnetic field at A is 12 units
  • Magnetic field strength is one of two ways that the intensity of a magnetic field can be expressed.
  • <em><u>The strength of the field is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source. This means that If the distance between two points in magnetic filed is doubled the magnetic force between them will fall to a quarter of the initial value. </u></em>
  • <em><u>On the other hand, if the distance between two magnets is halved the magnetic force between them will increase to four times the initial value.</u></em>
