Answer:

1) v_orbit = 3.49*10^4 m/s

2) F = 5.51*10^22 N

Explanation:

1) In order to calculate the speed of Venus in its orbit, you use the following formula:

$v_{orbit}=\sqrt{\frac{GM_s}{R}}$ (1)

v_orbit: speed of Venus = ?

G: Cavendish's constant = 6.674*10^-11.m^3kg^-1s^-2

Ms: mass of the sun = 1.98*10^30 kg

R: distance between the center of Sun and the center of Venus = 1.08*10^11m

You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (1):

$v_{orbit}=\sqrt{\frac{(6.674*10^{-11}m^3kg^{-1}s^{-2})(1.98*10^{30})}{1.08*10^{11}m}}\\\\v_{orbit}=3.49*10^4\frac{m}{s}$

The speed of Venus in its orbit around the Sun is 3.49*10^4 m/s

2) The force is given by the following formula:

$F=G\frac{M_vM_s}{R^2}$

Ms: mass of Venus = 4.87*10^24 kg

$F=(6.674*10^{-11}m^3kg^{-1}s-2})\frac{(4.87*10^{24}kg)(1.98*10^{30}kg)}{(1.08*10^{11}m)^2}\\\\F=5.51*10^{22}N$

The Sun exertes on Venus a force of 5.51*10^22 N

A gas is compressed from 600cm3 to 200cm3 at a constant pressure of 450kPa . At the same time, 100J of heat energy is transferre

Paraphin [41]

Answer: 80J

Explanation:

According to the first principle of thermodynamics:

<em>"Energy is not created, nor destroyed, but it is conserved." </em>

Then this priciple (also called Law) relates the work and the transferred heat exchanged in a system through the internal energy $U$ , which is neither created nor destroyed, it is only transformed. So, in this especific case of the compressed gas:

$\Delta U=Q+W$ (1)

Where:

$\Delta U$ is the variation in the internal (thermal) energy of the system (the value we want to find)

$Q=-100J$ is the heat transferred out of the gas (that is why it is negative)

$W$ is the work is done on the gas (as the gas is compressed, the work done on the gas must be considered positive )

On the other hand, the work done on the gas is given by:

$W=-P \Delta V$ (2)

Where:

$P=450kPa=450(10)^{3}Pa$ is the constant pressure of the gas

$\Delta V=V_{f}-V_{i}$ is the variation in volume of the gas

In this case the initial volume is $V_{i}=600{cm}^{3}=600(10)^{-6}m^{3}$ and the final volume is $V_{f}=200{cm}^{3}=200(10)^{-6}m^{3}$ .

This means:

$\Delta V=200(10)^{-6}m^{3}-600(10)^{-6}m^{3}=-400(10)^{-6}m^{3}$ (3)

Substituting (3) in (2):

$W=-450(10)^{3}Pa(-400(10)^{-6}m^{3})$ (4)

$W=180J$ (5)

Substituting (5) in (1):

$\Delta U=-100J+180J$ (6)

Finally:

$\Delta U=80J$ This is the change in thermal energy in the compression process.

A moving rope (parallel to the slope) is used to pull skiers up the mountain. If the slope of the hill is 37" and friction is ne

Charra [1.4K]

Since rope is parallel to the inclined plane so here we can say that net force parallel to the person which is pulling upwards must counterbalance the component of weight of the person.

Now here we will do the components of the weight of the person

given that weight of the person = 500 N

now its components are

$W_x = 500 cos37$

$W_y = 500 sin37$

now here as we can say that one of the component is balanced here by the normal force perpendicular to plane

while the other component of the weight is balanced by the force applied on the rope

So here the force applied on the rope will be given as

$F = W_y = 500 sin37$

$F = 300 N$

so it apply 300 N force along the inclined plane

the acceleration of a rocket traveling upward is given by a=(6+.02s)m/s^s, where s is in meters. Determine the rocket's velocity

NikAS [45]

Answer:

a) velocity v = 322.5m/s

b) time t = 19.27s

Explanation:

Note that;

ads = vdv

where

a is acceleration

s is distance

v is velocity

Given;

a = 6 + 0.02s

so,

$\int\limits^s_0 {a} \, ds = \int\limits^v_0 {v} \, dv\\ \int\limits^s_0 {6+0.02s} \, ds = \int\limits^v_0 {v} \, dv\\ 6s + \frac{0.02s^{2} }{2} = \frac{1}{2} v^{2} \\v = \sqrt{12s + 0.02s^{2} } .....................1 \\\\\\$

Remember that

$v = \frac{ds}{dt} \\\frac{ds}{v} = dt\\\int\limits^s_0 {\frac{ds}{\sqrt{12s+0.02s^{2} } } } \, ds = \int\limits^t_0 {} \, dt \\t= (5\sqrt{2} ) ln \frac{| [s + 300 + \sqrt{(s^{2} + 600s)} ] |}{300} .......2$

substituting s = 2km =2000m, into equation 1

v = 322.5m/s

substituting s = 2000m into equation 2

t = 19.27s
