The average distance of the earth from the sun is about 1.5 × 10^8 km. Assume that the earth’s orbit around the sun is circular

and that the sun is at the origin of your coordinate system. (a) Estimate the speed of the earth as it moves in its orbit around the sun. Express your answer in miles per hour with the appropriate number of significant figures. (b) Estimate the angle θ between the position vector of the earth now and what it will be in 4 months. (c) Calculate the distance between these two positions.

Answer:

Explanation:

Distance between sun and earth will act as radius of circular path

R = 1.5 X 10¹¹ m

angular velocity of the earth

ω = 2π / T

= 2 X 3.14 / ( 365 X 24 X 60 X 60 )

= 1.99 X 10⁻⁷ radian / s

velocity v = ω R

=  1.99 X 10⁻⁷ X 1.5 X 10¹¹

= 2.985 X 10⁴ m /s

= 29.85 km/s

29.85 x 60 x 60 km/h

= 107460 km/h

107460/1.6 mile / h

= 67162.5 mile /h

b ) Angle moved in 12 months

= 360 degree

angle moved in 4 months

= 360 / 3

= 120 degree

c )  Circumference of the orbit

= 2 x 3.14 x 1.5 x 10⁸ km

9.42 x 10⁸ km

required distance will be 1/3 rd of circumference

= 9.42 / 3 x 10⁸ km

= 3.14 x 10⁸ km

One end of a metal rod is in contact with a thermal reservoir at 745. K, and the other end is in contact with a thermal reservoi
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

a)S_1=-9.65}\ J/K

b)S_2=71.18\ J/K

c) 0 J/K

d)S= 61.53 J/K

Explanation:

Given that

T₁ = 745 K

T₂ = 101 K

Q= 7190 J

a)

The entropy change of reservoir 745 K

S_1=-\dfrac{7190}{745}\ J/K

Negative sign because heat is leaving.

S_1=-9.65}\ J/K

b)

The entropy change of reservoir 101 K

S_2=\dfrac{7190}{101}\ J/K

S_2=71.18\ J/K

c)

The entropy change of the rod will be zero.

d)

The entropy change of the system

S= S₁ + S₂

S = 71.18 - 9.65 J/K

S= 61.53 J/K

Options: A.) 10 N B.) 15 N C.) 25 N D.) 35N
Lady_Fox [76]

Given:

F_gravity = 10 N

F_tension = 25 N

Let's find the net centripetal force exterted on the ball.

Apply the formula:

\sum ^{}_{}F_{\text{net}}=F_1+F_2=F_{centripetal}

From the given figure, the force acting towards the circular path will be positive, while the force which points directly away from the center is negative.

Hence, the tensional force is positive while the gravitational force is negative.

Thus, we have:

F_{\text{net}}=F_{\text{centripetal}}=F_{tension}-F_{gravity}=25N-10N=15N

Therefore, the net centripetal force exterted on the ball is 15 N.

ANSWER:

15 N

In which situation would an object weigh the LEAST? (assume all the objects have the same mass)
inessss [21]

Answer:

An object on the moon would weigh the LEAST among these. So correct answer is B.

Explanation:

  • Weight of an object on any place is given by:

W = Mass * Acceleration due to gravity(g)

  • It means when masses of different objects those are in different places are same, the weight of  those objects depends upon the 'g' of that particular place.
  • As we know, acceleration due to gravity on surface of moon (g') is 6 times weaker than the acceleration on surface of earth (g), which is due to the large M/R^2 of the earth than the moon.

i.e. g' = g/6 so W' = W/6

  • And in the space between the two, the object is weightless.
