Which planet orbits in a different plane than all of the others?

1 answer:

6 0

Although they're all 'close', none of the planets orbits in the same plane as any other planet. They're all in slightly different planes.

The farthest out compared to all the others is Pluto, with an orbit inclined about 17 degrees compared to the ecliptic plane (Earth's orbit). But Pluto is officially not a planet, so I don't think it's a good answer.

The next greatest inclination compared to Earth's orbit is <em>Mercury</em>. That one is about 7 degrees.

The other six planets are all in different orbital planes inclined less than 7 degrees compared to Earth's orbit.

If vector C is added to vector D, the result is a third vector that is perpendicular to D and has a magnitude equal to 3D. What

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

(e) 3.2

Explanation:

We are given that vector C and D.

Let R be the magnitude of C+D.

According to question

R=3D

We have to find the ratio of the magnitude of C to that of D.

By using right triangle property

$C^2=R^2+D^2$

$C^2=(3D)^2+D^2$

$C^2=9D^2+D^2$

$C^2=10D^2$

$C=\sqrt{10D^2}=3.2D$

$\frac{C}{D}=3.2$

Hence, the ratio of the magnitude of C to that of D=3.2

(e) 3.2

In the first stage of a two-stage Carnot engine, energy is absorbed as heat Q1 at temperature T1 = 500 K, work W1 is done, and e

Nataly [62]

Answer:

Efficiency = 52%

Explanation:

Given:

First stage

heat absorbed, Q₁ at temperature T₁ = 500 K

Heat released, Q₂ at temperature T₂ = 430 K

and the work done is W₁

Second stage

Heat released, Q₂ at temperature T₂ = 430 K

Heat released, Q₃ at temperature T₃ = 240 K

and the work done is W₂

Total work done, W = W₁ + W₂

Now,

The efficiency is given as:

$\eta=\frac{\textup{Total\ work\ done}}{\textup{Energy\ provided}}$

Work done = change in heat

thus,

W₁ = Q₁ - Q₂

W₂ = Q₂ - Q₃

Thus,

$\eta=\frac{(Q_1-Q_2)\ +\ (Q_2-Q_3)}{Q_1}}$

$\eta=1-\frac{(Q_1-Q_3)}{Q_1}}$

$\eta=1-\frac{(Q_3)}{Q_1}}$

also,

$\frac{Q_1}{T_1}=\frac{Q_2}{T_2}=\frac{Q_3}{T_3}$

$\frac{T_3}{T_1}=\frac{Q_3}{Q_1}$

thus,

$\eta=1-\frac{(T_3)}{T_1}}$

thus,

$\eta=1-\frac{(240\ K)}{500\ K}}$

$\eta=0.52$

Efficiency = 52%

A 20-cm long solenoid consists of 100 turns of a coil of radius r = 3.0 cm. A current of Io in the coiled wire produces a magnet

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

vi) Double the current in the wire, and double the number of turns in the 20-cm long solenoid

Explanation:

The magnetic field inside the solenoid and the current flowing in the coil of solenoid are related to each other by the following equation

B₀=μ₀nI₀

Where,

B₀ is the magnetic field in the middle of solenoid

n is the number of turns in the coil of solenoid

I₀ is the current flowing in the coil of solenoid

In the above equation, as μ₀ is a constant so the magnetic field will be directly proportional to the number of turns multiplied by the current. So, changing the radius of the coil or length of the coil will have no effect on the magnetic field.

As we have to increase the magnetic field by 4 times, we need to double the current as well as the number of turns as mentioned in the option vi.

A car starts out traveling at 35 m/s. The car hits the brakes and decelerates at a rate of 3 m/s^2 for 5 seconds. What Distance

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Time needed: 2.5 s
Distance covered: 31.3 m

Explanation:

I'll start with the distance covered while decelerating. Since you know that the initial speed of the car is 15.0 m/s, and that its final speed must by 10.0 m/s, you can use the known acceleration to determine the distance covered by

v2f=v2i−2⋅a⋅d

Isolate d on one side of the equation and solve by plugging your values

d=v2i−v2f2a

d=(15.02−10.02)m2s−22⋅2.0ms−2

d=31.3 m

To get the time needed to reach this speed, i.e. 10.0 m/s, you can use the following equation

vf=vi−a⋅t, which will get you

t=vi−vfa

t=(15.0−10.0)ms2.0ms2=2.5 s
