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

Which statement describes a digital signal?
hoa [83]

Answer:

"It is made of numbers" describes the digital signal.

Explanation:

The digital signal are the electrical signal which is translated into the pattern of bits. The digital signal are always discrete value in every sampling point. The conversion of the programming into the stream or the binary sequence like 0s and 1s. The digital signals never gets weaken over distance but the analog signal gets weakened or impair at distance. The digital signals are consists of one or two value, Timing graph are square waves.

A ranger in a national park is driving at 56 km/h when a deer jumps onto the road 65 m ahead of the vehicle. After a reaction ti
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

 t = 1.58 s

Explanation:

given,

Speed of ranger, v = 56 km/h

                            v = 56 x 0.278 = 15.57 m/s

distance, d = 65 m

deceleration,a = 3 m/s²

reaction time = ?

using stopping distance formula

d = v. t + \dfrac{v^2}{2a}

t = \dfrac{d}{v} -\dfrac{v}{2a}

t is the reaction time

t = \dfrac{65}{15.57} -\dfrac{15.57}{2\times 3}

 t = 1.58 s

hence, the reaction time of the ranger is equal to 1.58 s.
