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

You're carrying a 3.2-m-long, 24kg pole to a construction site when you decide to stop for a rest. You place one end of the pole
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Tension of 132N

Explanation:

We need to apply Summatory of Force to find the tension in the hand.

We define te tensión in the hand as F_2 and the Tension in fence post as F_1, then

\sum F = 24(9.8)

F_1 + F_2= 24(9.8)

We apply summatory of moments then

F_2*1.25 = F_1*1.6

Where the Force 2 is 1.25m from the center of summatory,

We can note that,

1.6 m - 0.35m=1.25m

We have two equation and two incognites, then replacing (1) in (2)

1.6(235.2 -F_2) = 1.25F_2

376.32 = F2(1.6+1.25)

F_2= \frac{376.32}{2.85}

F_2 =132 N

The unit for measuring electric power is the <br> A. ampere.<br> B. volt.<br> C. ohm.<br> D. watt.
Drupady [299]
The correct answer is D: Watt. This unit was named after James Watt, and is used to express the equivalent of one joule per second in energy. In experiments and on the packaging for electrical products such as light-bulbs, the measurement will usually be written in its abbreviated format: W.

What is the relationship between frequency ad wavelenght
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

Frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional to each other. The wave with the greatest frequency has the shortest wavelength. Twice the frequency means one-half the wavelength. For this reason, the wavelength ratio is the inverse of the frequency ratio.
