Which statement best describes perigee?

Physics
2 answers:
pantera1 [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

A. The closest point in the Moon's orbit to Earth

Explanation:

The perigee is defined as the closest point in the orbit of an object (such as a satellite) from the centre of the Earth. In this case, the Earth's satellite is the Moon, so the perigee is defined as the closest point in the Moon's orbit to Earth. so option A is the correct one.

Let's see instead the names of the other options:

B. The farthest point in the Moon's orbit to Earth  --> this point is called apogee

C. The closest point in Earth's orbit of the Sun  --> this point is called perihelion

D. The Sun's orbit that is closest to the Moon --> this point has no specific name

A roller coaster has a mass of 300 kg. It drops from rest at the top of a hill
Sedaia [141]

To determine the velocity of the roller coaster as it moves down, we use the kinematic equation which is expressed as 2gy = vf^2 - v0^2 where g is the gravitational acceleration, y is the elevation of the roller coaster, vf and vo are the final and initial velocity. We calculate as follows:

2gy = vf^2 - v0^2

Since it starts at rest, v0 is zero.

2gy = vf^2

vf = √2gy

vf = √2(9.8)(101)

vf = 44.5 m/s

Which has the greater momentum when moving?
Basile [38]
I assume there are choices to this question that you forgot to include. No matter, I could just lay out the concept so that you can understand the gist.

The best way to approach this is to know the definition of momentum. In physics, momentum is always defined in terms of equation. For momentum, it is the product of the mass and velocity. Therefore, any increase of these two parameters would promote greater momentum. The greater the mass paired with the faster the velocity, the greater the momentum.

A storm 10.0 km in diameter has wind speeds of 10.0 m/s. What is its angular velocity in radians per second
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

The value is w= 2*10^{-3} \  rad/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The diameter of the storm is  d =  10.0 \  km  =  10 000 \  m

   The wind speed is  v  =  10.0 \  m/s

   

Generally the radius is mathematically represented as

       r =  \frac{d}{2}

=>  r =  \frac{10000}{2}

=>    r =  5000 \ m

Generally the angular velocity is mathematically represented as  

        w= \frac{v}{r}

=>     w= \frac{10}{5000}

=>     w= 2*10^{-3} \  rad/s

The parking brake on a 1000 kg Cadillac has failed, and it is rolling slowly, at 1 mph , toward a group of small children. Seein
GalinKa [24]
Um of momenta = 0( Since both the cars stop) 
<span>Let m1 be the mass of the cadillac and m2 be the mass of the volkswagen. </span>
<span>then, v1=speed of cadillac and v2=speed of volkswagen. </span>
<span>Therefore, (m1)*(v1) + (m2)*(v2) = 0 </span>
<span>Substituting, </span>
<span>(1000*4) + (2000*v2) = 0 </span>
<span>4000 = - 2000 v2 </span>
<span>Therefore, v2= - 2 m/s. </span>

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

a) 323.4J

b) 0J

c) -323.4J

Explanation:

a) W=Fd

F=ma

solve for acc. using kinematics

v^2=vo^2+2a(x)

8.41=2a(12)

4.205=a(12)

0.35=a

F=(77)(0.35)

F=26.95N

W=26.95*12...... W=323.4J

b) No acceleration, thus no force, thus no work!

c) W=Fd

F=ma

find acc. using kinematics: v^2=vo^2+2a(x)

0=(2.9^2)+2a(12)

0=8.41+2a(12)

-8.41=2a(12)

-4.205=a(12)

-0.35=a

F=(77)(-0.35)

F=-26.95N

W=(-26.95)(12)

W=-323.4J

Yes, work can be negative!
