Calculate the kinetic energy of Earth due to its spinning about its axis. Krot = J Compare your answer with the kinetic energy o

f the orbital motion of Earth's center of mass about the Sun. Assume Earth to be a homogeneous sphere of mass 6.00 1024 kg and radius 6.40 106 m. The radius of Earth's orbit is 1.50 1011 m.

Answer:

Explanation:

Answer: Let ke = 1/2 IW^2 = 1/2 kMr^2 W^2 be Earth's rotational KE. W = 2pi/24 radians per hour rotation speed and k = 2/5 for a solid sphere M is Earth mass, r = 6.4E6 m.

Then ke = 1/2 2/5 6E24 (6.4E6)^2 (2pi/(24*3600))^2 = ? Joules. You can do the math, note W is converted to radians per second for unit consistency.

Let KE = 1/2 KMR^2 w^2 be Earth's orbital KE. w = 2pi/(365*24) radians per hour K = 1 for a point mass. Note I used 365 days, a more precise number is 365.25 days per year, which is why we have Leap Years.

Find KE/ke = 1/2 KMR^2 w^2//1/2 kMr^2 W^2 = (K/k)(w/W)^2 (R/r)^2 = (5/2) (365)^2 (1.5E11/6.4E6)^2 = 7.81E9 ANS

Lana71 [14]
In a cathode ray tube, the number of electrons that reach the fluorescent screen is controlled by the grid. The correct option among all the options given in the question is option "B".When current is supplied to the heater, it causes the cathode to emit electrons. The electrons pass through opening of the grid before reaching the anode. By controlling the number of electrons passing through the grid, the number of electrons reaching the anode can also be controlled.<span>

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

d. This statement is false. She and the Space Station share the same orbit and will stay together unless they are pushed apart.

Explanation:

In astronomy, orbit is simply a path of an object around another object in a space. That is, orbit is a path of a body that revolves around a gravitating center of mass. Examples of an orbit is are satellite around a planet, orbit around a center of galaxy, planet around the sun, and among others.

On the other hand, space station refers to a spacecraft that can support a group of human for long time in the orbit. Another names for space stations are orbital space station and orbital station.

Therefore, an astronaut goes on a space walk outside the Space Station shares the same orbit with the space station and they will stay together unless they are pushed apart.
