A comet is in an elliptical orbit around the sun. its closest approach to the sun is a distance of 4.5 1010 m (inside the orbit

of mercury), at which point its speed is 9 104 m/s. its farthest distance from the sun is far beyond the orbit of pluto. what is its speed when it is 6 1012 m from the sun?

r1 = 5*10^10 m , r2 = 6*10^12 m

v1 = 9*10^4 m/s

From conservation of energy

K1 +U1 = K2 +U2

0.5mv1^2 - GMm/r1 = 0.5mv2^2 - GMm/r2

0.5v1^2 - GM/r1 = 0.5v2^2 - GM/r2

M is mass of sun = 1.98*10^30 kg

G = 6.67*10^-11 N.m^2/kg^2

0.5*(9*10^4)^2 - (6.67*10^-11*1.98*10^30/(5*10^10)) = 0.5v2^2 - (6.67*10^-11*1.98*10^30/(6*10^12))

v2 = 5.35*10^4 m/s

Find the minimum radius of a helium balloon that will lift her off the ground. the density of helium gas is 0.178 kg/m3, and the
marysya [2.9K]

Volume of balloon = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}

Where r is the radius of balloon.

Here mass of woman = 68 kg

Mass of air displaced by a balloon with volume V = 1.29*V

Mass of helium inside balloon = 0.178*V

Total mass to be lifted by balloon = 68 +0.178*V

Buoyant force = 1.29V-0.178V=1.112V

So we have 1.112 V =  68+ 0.178*V

   0.934 V = 68

     V = 72.81 m^3

    \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}[/tex]= 72.81

     r = 2.59 m

So radius of helium balloon = 2.59 m

A hunter aims at a deer which is 40 yards away. Her cross- bow is at a height of 5ft, and she aims for a spot on the deer 4ft ab
shutvik [7]

Answer:

a)  θ₁ = 0.487º , b)   t = 0.400 s ,        x = 11.73 ft

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use the projectile launch relationships.

The initial height is I = 5 ft and the final height y = 4 ft

            y = y₀ + v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

The distance to the band is x = 40 yard (3 ft / 1 yard) = 120 ft

            x = v₀ₓ t

            t = x / v₀ₓ

We replace

             y –y₀ = v_{oy} x / v₀ₓ - ½ g x² / v₀ₓ²

             v_{oy} = v₀ sin θ

             v₀ₓ = vo cos θ

             

             y –y₀ = x tan θ - ½ g x² / v₀² cos² θ

                5-4 = 120 tan θ - ½ 32 120 / (300 2 cos2 θ)

                1 = 120 tan θ - 0.0213 sec² θ

Let's use the trigonometry relationship

               Sec² θ = 1 - tan² θ

                 1 = 120 tan θ - 0.0213 (1 –tan²θ)

                 0.0213 tan²θ + 120 tanθ -1.0213 = 0

                 

We change variables

          u = tan θ

          u² + 5633.8 u - 48.03 = 0

We solve the second degree equation

          u = [-5633.8 ±√(5633.8 2 + 4 48.03)] / 2

          u = [- 5633.8 ± 5633.82] / 2

           u₁ = 0.0085

           u₂= -5633.81

           u = tan θ

           θ = tan⁻¹ u

For u₁

           θ₁ = tan⁻¹ 0.0085

           θ₁ = 0.487º

For u₂

           θ₂ = -89.99º

The launch angle must be 0.487º

b) let's look for the time it takes for the arrow to arrive

         x = v₀ₓ t

         t = x / v₀ cos θ

         

         t = 120 / (300 cos 0.487)

         t = 0.400 s

The deer must be at a distance of

           v = 20 mph (5280 ft / 1 mi) (1 h / 3600s) = 29.33 ft / s

           x = v t

           x = 29.33 0.4

           x = 11.73 ft

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Radians

Explanation:

The angular speed is a measure of the rotation speed of a body. It is defined as the angle rotated by a unit of time. Thus, It refers to the angular displacement per unit time and is designated by the Greek letter \omega. Its unit in the International System is radian per second (rad / s).
