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

A 1.40-kg ball tied to a string fixed to the ceiling is pulled to one side by a force F→ . where L = 1.40 kg. What is the tensio
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

T=13.72N

Explanation:

The tension before the ball is released have no angle is in rest at the same axis of the weight so:

∑F=0

Using Newton law in this case the ball is tied so tension before become to swing is

∑F=FN-T=0

T=F_{N}

T=m*g

T=1.40Kg*9.8\frac{m}{s^2}

T=13.72N

Consider two identical insulated metal spheres, A and B. Sphere A initially has a charge of -6.0 units and sphere B initially ha
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

<em>-2 units of charge</em>

Explanation:

charge on A = Qa = -6 units

charge on B = Qb = 2 units

if the spheres are brought in contact with each other, the resultant charge will be evenly distributed on the spheres when they are finally separated.

charge on each sphere will be = \frac{Qa + Qb}{2}

charge on each sphere =  \frac{-6 + 2}{2} = \frac{-4}{2} = <em>-2 units of charge</em>

We can change a gas to liquid by the temperature and the pressure.
hodyreva [135]

I am not sure how you want me to answer this, but yes, gas can go from being a gas to a liquid when the right temp and pressure is applied.

Answer these questions please and you will get the brain list
Naddika [18.5K]

I am using the equation F=ma (force equals mass times acceleration) to solve these problems.

1. You are looking for force, and have mass and acceleration. You just plug in the values for mass and acceleration to get the force needed.

F=(15kg)(5m/s^2)

F=75N

2. Again, you are looking for force, and just need to plug in the values for mass and acceleration

F=(3kg)(2.4m/s^2)

F=7.2N

3. In this problem, you have force and mass, but need to find acceleration. To do this, you need to get acceleration alone on one side of the equation - divide each side by m. Your equation will now be F/m=a

a=(5N)/(3.7kg)

a=18.5m/s^2

I did not use significant figures. Let me know if you need to do that and need any help on that. Hope this helps!

Definition of Newton’s first law of motion
kipiarov [429]

Newton's first law of motion - sometimes referred to as the law of inertia. Newton's first law of motion is often stated as. An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
