Answer:

b

Explanation:

The Sun exert a gravitational pull on the earth just as the earth exert gravitational pull on the sun but the sun mass is bigger than the earth, hence the earth orbits round the sun in elliptical orbit due to the greater gravitational pull of the sun.

Which object has more momentum?
lakkis [162]

Answer:

3. Large butterfly in flight, flying through the air?

Explanation:

Momentum is simply defined as the quantity of motion a body possess. It is mathematically given as;

 Momentum  = mass x velocity

The larger the mass, the larger the momentum and also the velocity

Since the large butterfly is in flight, it has the largest velocity.

A sleeping bear and resting caterpillar have no momentum because their velocity is 0

Through what potential difference should electrons be accelerated so that their speed is 1.0 % of the speed of light when they h
omeli [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Considering non - relativistic approach : ----

Speed of electron = 1 % of speed of light

= .01 x 3 x 10⁸ m /s

= 3 x 10⁶ m /s

Kinetic energy of electron = 1/2 m v²

= .5 x 9.1 x 10⁻³¹ x ( 3 x 10⁶ )²

= 40.95 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Kinetic energy in electron comes from lose of electrical energy equal to

Ve where V is potential difference under which electron is accelerated and e is electronic charge .

V x e = kinetic energy of electron

V x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ = 40.95 x 10⁻¹⁹

V = 25.6 Volt .

The earth's radius is 6.37×106m; it rotates once every 24 hours.What is the speed of a point on the earth's surface located at 3
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

v = 120 m/s

Explanation:

We are given;

earth's radius; r = 6.37 × 10^(6) m

Angular speed; ω = 2π/(24 × 3600) = 7.27 × 10^(-5) rad/s

Now, we want to find the speed of a point on the earth's surface located at 3/4 of the length of the arc between the equator and the pole, measured from equator.

The angle will be;

θ = ¾ × 90

θ = 67.5

¾ is multiplied by 90° because the angular distance from the pole is 90 degrees.

The speed of a point on the earth's surface located at 3/4 of the length of the arc between the equator and the pole, measured from equator will be:

v = r(cos θ) × ω

v = 6.37 × 10^(6) × cos 67.5 × 7.27 × 10^(-5)

v = 117.22 m/s

Approximation to 2 sig. figures gives;

v = 120 m/s
