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

MakcuM [25]

How do fission nuclear reactions differ from fusion nuclear reactions?

A. Fission reactions involve the conversion of matter into energy, but fusion reactions do not. 

B. Fusion reactions involve the conversion of matter into energy, but fission reactions do not. 

C. Fission reactions are used to generate electricity for consumers, but fusion reactions are not. 

D. Fusion reactions are used to generate electricity for consumers, but fission reactions are not.

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Both fission and fusion are nuclear reactions that produce energy, but their applications differs.

 Fission is the splitting of a large (heavy, unstable) nucleus into smaller ones, and fusion is the process where nuclei of small atoms are combine together to form the nuclei of larger atoms releasing vast amounts of energy.

The correct answer is c. Fission reactions are used to generate electricity for consumers, but fusion reactions are not.

The physics of fusion is the process that makes the sun shine, and that makes the hydrogen bomb explode.

The basic barometer can be used to measure the height of a building. If the barometric readings at the top and the bottom of a b
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

h = 269.6 m

Explanation:

Pressure at the bottom of the building and at the top of the building must be related as

P_{top} = P_{bottom} - \rho g h

P_{top} = 730 mm Hg

P_{bottom} = 755 mm Hg

now we will have

(755 \times 10^{-3})(13.6 \times 10^3)(9.81) = P_{bottom}

P_{bottom} = 1.007 \times 10^5 Pa

P_{top} = (730\times 10^{-3})(13.6 \times 10^3)(9.81)

P_{top} = 0.974 \times 10^5

now we have

(1.007 - 0.974)\times 10^5 = 1.25 (9.81) h

h = 269.6 m

El tubo de entrada que suministra presión de aire para operar un gato hidráulico tiene 2 cm de diámetro. El pistón de salida es
Bess [88]

Answer:

La presión neumática para levantar un automóvil de 17,640 newtons es 220,500 pascales.

Explanation:

Asumiendo que la presión (P), medida en pascales, tiene una distribución uniforme sobre la superficie del pistón, se calcula a partir de la siguiente expresion:

P = \frac{F}{A}

Donde:

F - Fuerza motriz, medida en newtons.

A - Área del pistón, medida en metros cuadrados.

La fuerza motriz es equivalente al peso del automóvil. El área del pistón (A), medido en metros cuadrados, es determinado por:

A=\frac{\pi}{4}\cdot D^{2}

Donde D es el diámetro del pistón, medido en metros.

Si D = 0.32\,m y F =17,640\,N, entonces la presión neumática es:

A = \frac{\pi}{4}\cdot (0.32\,m)^{2}

A \approx 0.080\,m^{2}

P = \frac{17,640\,N}{0.080\,m^{2}}

P = 220,500\,Pa

La presión neumática para levantar un automóvil de 17,640 newtons es 220,500 pascales.
