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

An object is moving east, and its velocity changes from 65 m/s to 25 m/s in 10 seconds Which describes the acceleration?
Rasek [7]

Answer:

4 m/s in negative acceleration

Explanation:

Acceleration = V- U/t

Where V is the final velocity

U is the initial velocity and t is the time given.

U = 65 m/s

V= 25 m/s

T= 10 seconds

Acceleration= (25m/s - 65m/s)÷10secs

= - 40/10

= -4m/s^2

Hence, it has a negative acceleration.

A 2.1 ✕ 103-kg car starts from rest at the top of a 5.9-m-long driveway that is inclined at 19° with the horizontal. If an avera
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

3.9 m/s

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of car,m=2.1\times 10^3 kg

Initial velocity,u=0

Distance,s=5.9 m

\theta=19^{\circ}

Average friction force,f=4.0\times 10^3 N

We have to find the speed of the car at the bottom of the driveway.

Net force,F_{net}=mgsin\theta-f=2.1\times 10^3\times 9.8sin19-4.0\times 10^3

Where g=9.8 m/s^2

Acceleration,a=\frac{F_{net}}{m}=\frac{2.1\times 10^3\times 9.8sin19-4.0\times 10^3}{2.1\times 10^3}

v=\sqrt{2as}

v=\sqrt{2\times \frac{2.1\times 10^3\times 9.8sin19-4.0\times 10^3}{2.1\times 10^3}\times 5.9}

v=3.9 m/s

Help please! This question is driving me crazy
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

-10.8°, or 10.8° below the +x axis

Explanation:

The x component of the resultant vector is:

x = 3.14 cos(30.0°) + 2.71 cos(-60.0°)

x = 4.07

The y component of the resultant vector is:

y = 3.14 sin(30.0°) + 2.71 sin(-60.0°)

y = -0.777

Therefore, the angle between the resultant vector and the +x axis is:

θ = atan(y / x)

θ = atan(-0.777 / 4.07)

θ = -10.8°

The angle is -10.8°, or 10.8° below the +x axis.

You drop a 0.375 kg ball from a height of 1.37 m. It hits the ground and bounces up again to a height of 0.67 m. How much energy
Radda [10]

2.57 joule energy lose in the bounce .

<u>Explanation</u>:

when ball is the height of 1.37 m from the ground  it has some gravitational potential energy with respect to hits the ground  

Formula for gravitational potential energy given by  

Potential Energy = mgh

Where ,

m = mass  

g = acceleration due to gravity  

h = height

Potential energy when ball hits the ground

m= 0.375 kg

h = 1.37 m

g = 9.8 m/s²

Potential Energy = 0.375\times9.8\times1.37

Potential Energy = 5.03 joule

Potential energy when ball bounces up again

h= 0.67 m

Potential Energy = 0.375\times0.67\times9.8

Potential Energy = 2.46 joule

Energy loss = 5.03 - 2.46 = 2.57 joule

2.57 joule energy lose in the bounce
