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

Two blocks with masses M1 and M2 hang one under the other.
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

(a)T= M2 × g,    (b)T= (M1 + M2)g,   (c)T= M2 (a + g) and  (d)T=(M1 + M2) (a + g)

Explanation:

M1 is hanged upper and M2 is lower at Rest.

(a) For M2

T2 = Weight of the Body M2= M2 × g

(b) T1 = Weight of the Body M2 + Weight of the Body M2

T1 = M1 g + M2 g = (M1 + M2)g

M1 is hanged upper and M2 is lower at accelerated upwards ( F = T - W)

(c) For M2

⇒T = M2a + M2g = M2 (a + g)

(d) For M1

T = (M1 + M2) a + (M1 + M2) g

⇒ T = (M1 + M2) (a + g)

At a waterpark, sleds with riders are sent along a slippery, horizontal surface by the release of a large, compressed spring. Th
steposvetlana [31]

The sleds speed when the spring returns toits uncompressed length is v = 0.03 m/s.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Given,

force constant = 42 N/cm = 0.42 N/m,   mass m = 68 kg, spring x = 0.39 m

The potential energy, U, stored in the spring is

                     U = 1/2 kx^2  

                       = 1 / 2 \times 0.42 \times (0.39)^2

                       = 0.032 J

All its potential energy has been converted into kinetic energy since it has a uncompressed length.

                    K = 1/2 mv^2

                     v = sqrt (2K / m)

                       = √(( 2 \times 0.032) / 68)

                    v = 0.03 m/s .
