According to Keplar's second law of planetary motion, "The areas swept by the radial vector connecting the star (sun) and the planet orbiting it are equal for equal intervals of time
When an object turns around an internal axis (like the Earth turns around its axis) it is called a rotation. When an object circles an external axis (like the Earth circles the sun) it is called a revolution.
Answer:
a) # lap = 301.59 rad
, b) L = 90.48 m
Explanation:
a) Let's use a direct proportions rule (rule of three). If one turn of the wire covers 0.05 cm, how many turns do you need to cover 24 cm
# turns = 1 turn (24 cm / 0.5 cm)
# laps = 48 laps
Let's reduce to radians
# laps = 48 laps (2 round / 1 round)
# lap = 301.59 rad
b) Each lap gives a length equal to the length of the circle
L₀ = 2π R
L = # turns L₀
L = # turns 2π R
L = 48 2π 30
L = 9047.79 cm
L = 90.48 m
