The Sun was once thought to be a planet. Explain why.

Physics
1 answer:
kumpel [21]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:  

 The sun is a star in the milky way galaxy and the sun has eight planets and large number of asteroids and comets that are revolving around them in a path. On the other hand, the moon are revolving around the planets. The composition of the star are absolutely different from the planets and there are lots of star but the sun is the closest to the earth.

6. A 145-g baseball moving 30.5 m/s strikes a stationary 5.75-kg brick resting on small rollers so it moves without significant
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

momentum of baseball before collision

mass x velocity

= .145 x 30.5

= 4.4225 kg m /s

momentum of brick after collision

= 5.75 x 1.1

= 6.325 kg m/s

Applying conservation of momentum

4.4225 + 0 = .145 x v + 6.325 , v is velocity of baseball after collision.

v = - 13.12 m / s

b )

kinetic energy of baseball  before collision = 1/2 mv²

= .5 x .145 x 30.5²

= 67.44 J

Total kinetic energy before collision = 67.44 J

c )

kinetic energy of baseball after collision = 1/2 x .145 x 13.12²

= 12.48 J .

 kinetic energy of brick after collision

= .5 x 5.75 x 1.1²

= 3.48 J

Total kinetic energy after collision

= 15.96 J

Write a hypothesis for Part II of the lab, which is about the relationship described by F = ma. In the lab, you will use a toy c
Tanzania [10]
If you increase the mass m of the car, the force F will increase, while acceleration a is kept constant. Because F and m are directly proportional.
If you increase the acceleration a of the car, the force F will increase, while mass m is kept constant. Because F and a are directly proportional.

How can Newton's laws be verified experimentally; is by setting this experiment, and changing one variable while keeping the other constant, then observe the change in F.

Hope this helps.

A torsion pendulum consists of an irregularly-shaped object of mass 20.0 kg suspended vertically by a wire of torsion constant 0
netineya [11]

Answer:

Rotational inertia of the object is, I=0.023\ kg-m^2

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the object, m = 20 kg

Torsion constant of the wire, K = 0.85 N-m

Number of cycles, n = 69

Time, t = 66 s

To find,

The rotational inertia of the object.

Solution,

There exists a relationship between the moment of inertia, time period and the torsion constant of the spring is given by :

T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{I}{K}}

Here I is the moment of inertia

T is the time period, and it is equal to the number of cycles per unit time

I=\dfrac{T^2K}{4\pi ^2}

I=\dfrac{(69/66)^2\times 0.85}{4\pi ^2}

I=0.023\ kg-m^2

So, the rotational inertia of the object is 0.023\ kg-m^2.

the primary of a transformer connected to 170v has 10 turns. the secondary has 70 turns. find voltage. this is a step down trans
Nikolay [14]
No it isn't. (Unless you connect it backwards.)

If the primary has 10 turns and the secondary has 70 turns,
then the voltage that appears across the secondary is
7 times the voltage that you feed to the primary.

If you're 'exciting' the primary with 170 volts, then you need
to be cautious around the secondary terminals, because there's 
1,190 volts there !

If you want to use your transformer in a step-down configuration,
you can certainly connect it up the other way around.

Feed the 170 volts to the winding with 70 turns.  You've reversed
the labels 'primary' and 'secondary', and that's OK.  The voltage
at the terminals of the 10-turn winding will be (170/7) = 24.3 volts.

Two forces are acting on an object, but the net force on the object is O N. For the net
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

  A.  The forces are the same size and in opposite directions.

Explanation:

Just as an opposite number will cancel a number: -1 +1 = 0, so an opposite force will cancel a force, with the result that the net is zero.
