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

PART A:
olga55 [171]

Answer:

4 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

From Equilibrium of forces, The Tension in string is cancelled by the Weight (product of mass and acceleration due to gravity) of the body acting downwards.

The Net force = Mass * Acceleration.

Since Net Force = 20 Newton, Mass = 5kg, therefore;

20 = 5kg * acceleration. Dividing the RHS and LHS of the equation by 5, we have;

Acceleration = \frac{20}{5} which gives 4.

Note: RHS means Right Hand Side.

         LHS means Left Hand Side.

A pitcher throws a curveball that reaches the catcher in 0.61 s. The ball curves because it is spinning at an average angular ve
sashaice [31]

Answer:

22.36 rad

Explanation:

Applying,

ω = θ/t.............. Equation 1

Where ω  = angular velocity, θ = angular displacement of the baseball, t = time

make θ the subject of the equation

θ = ωt............... Equation 2

From the question,

Given: ω = 350 rev/min = 350(0.10472) = 36.652 rad/s, t = 0.61 s

Substitute these values into equation 1

θ = 0.61(36.652)

θ = 22.36 rad

Hence the angular displacement of the baseball is  22.36 rad

Hurricanes are especially destructive because of the abrupt decrease in air pressure that they bring with the winds. Consider a
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

2.96 × 10^4 N

Explanation:

1 atm = 101325 N/m², pressure inside the airtight room = 1.02 atm, pressure outside due to hurricane = 0.91 atm

net pressure directed outward = P inside - P  outside

net pressure = 1.02 - 0.91 = 0.11 atm

where 1 atm = 101325N/m²

0.11 atm = 0.11 × 101325 N/m² = 11145.75 N/m²

area of the square wall = l × l where l is the length of the wall in meters = 1.63 × 1.63 = 2.6569

net pressure = net force / area

make net force subject of the formula

net force = net pressure × area = 11145.75 × 2.6569 = 2.96 × 10 ^4 N
