Acceleration = V^2/r = 18^2/ 30 = 10.8 m/s^2

Well, first of all, 18 m/s is the object's speed, but not its velocity.
Velocity consists of the object's speed AND direction, and this
particular object's direction is constantly changing, since it's
moving around a circle.  So its velocity is constantly changing too.

Centripetal acceleration  =  (speed)² / (radius)

                                           =  (18 m/s)² / (30 m)

                                           = (324 m²/s²) / (30 m)

                                           =       10.8 m/s²

                                       (about  1.1 G)

'The normal is a line perpendicular to the surface of the mirror'.This is the correct statement that corrects an error on the site.

<h3>What is the law of reflection?</h3>

The law of reflection specifies that upon reflection from a downy surface, the slope of the reflected ray is similar to the slope of the incident ray.

The reflected ray is consistently in the plane determined by the incident ray and perpendicular to the surface at the point of reference of the incident ray.

When the light rays descend on the smooth surface, the angle of reflection is similar to the angle of incidence, also the incident ray, the reflected ray, and the normal to the surface all lie in a similar plane.

Hence 'The normal is a line perpendicular to the surface of the mirror'.This is the correct statement that corrects an error on the site

A force of 20 N produces an acceleration of 10 m/s² in mass m1 and an acceleration of 5 m/s² in
Scrat [10]

Explanation:

F = 20N m= m1 a=10m/s²

m=m2 a=5m/s²

F = ma

<u>for the first one</u><u>:</u><u> </u>

f=m1 × a

20 = m1 ×10

20=10m1

m1=20/10

m1=2

<u>for</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>second</u><u> </u><u>one</u><u> </u><u>:</u>

f=m2×a

20=m2×5

m2= 20/5

m2= 4

since F=ma

F=(m1+m2) ×a

F =(4+2)×a

F =6×a

F=20(from the question above )

20=6×a

a=20/6

a=3.33

Comets travel around the sun in elliptical orbits with large eccentricities. If a comet has speed 1.6×104 m/s when at a distance
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

v₂ = 7.6 x 10⁴ m/s

Explanation:

given,

speed of comet(v₁) = 1.6 x 10⁴ m/s

distance (d₁)= 2.7 x 10¹¹ m

to find the speed when he is at distance of(d₂) 4.8 × 10¹⁰ m

v₂ = ?

speed of planet can be determine using conservation of energy

K.E₁ + P.E₁ = K.E₂ + P.E₂

\dfrac{1}{2}mv_1^2-\dfrac{GMm}{r_1} = \dfrac{1}{2}mv_2^2-\dfrac{GMm}{r_2}

\dfrac{1}{2}v_1^2-\dfrac{GM}{r_1} = \dfrac{1}{2}v_2^2-\dfrac{GM}{r_2}

v_2^2= v_1^2 + \dfrac{2GM}{r_2}-\dfrac{2GM}{r_1}

v_2= \sqrt{v_1^2 +2GM(\dfrac{1}{r_2}-\dfrac{1}{r_1})}

v_2= \sqrt{(1.6\times 10^4)^2 +2\times 6.67 \times 10^{-11}\times 1.99 \times 10^{30}(\dfrac{1}{4.8\times 10^{10}}-\dfrac{1}{2.7\times 10^{11}})}

v₂ = 7.6 x 10⁴ m/s

Yuri [45]

Answer:

= - 5.65\times 10^{-2} J

Explanation:

Given data:

L =2.00 *10^4 m

d = 18*10^4 m

M = 18  *10^6 kg

m_1 = 8*10^6 kg

Gravitational energy is given as

U =- G \frac{m_1 m_2}{r}

mass per unit length is given as

\sigma = \frac{M}{L} = \frac{18 \times 10^6}{2\times 10^4 m} = 900 kg/m

calculating potential energy

dU ==-G\int_{16\times 10^4}^{18\times 10^4} \frac{m_1 *dm}{r}

=-G\int_{16\times 10^4}^{18\times 10^4} \frac{m_1 *\sigma dr}{r}

=-G*m_1*\sigma\int_{16\times 10^4}^{18\times 10^4} \frac{dr}{r}

=-G*m_1*\sigma \left | ln r \right |_{16\times 10^4}^{18\times 10^4}

=-G*m_1*\sigma ln(1.125)

=-6.673 \times 10^{-11}*8*10^6*900*ln(1.125)

= - 5.65\times 10^{-2} J
