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

IRINA_888 [86]

Complete Question:

A machinist turns the power on to a grinding wheel, which is at rest at time t = 0.00 s. The wheel accelerates uniformly for 10 s and reaches the operating angular velocity of 25 rad/s. The wheel is run at that angular velocity for 37 s and then power is shut off. The wheel decelerates uniformly at 1.5 rads/s2 until the wheel stops. In this situation, the time interval of angular deceleration (slowing down) is closest to

Answer:

t= 16.7 sec.

Explanation:

As we are told that the wheel is accelerating uniformly, we can apply the definition of angular acceleration to its value:

γ = (ωf -ω₀) / t

If the wheel was at rest at t-= 0.00 s, the angular acceleration is given by the following equation:

γ = ωf / t = 25 rad/sec / 10 sec = 2.5 rad/sec².

When the power is shut off, as the deceleration is uniform, we can apply the same equation as above, with ωf = 0, and ω₀ = 25 rad/sec, and γ = -1.5 rad/sec, as follows:

γ= (ωf-ω₀) /Δt⇒Δt = (0-25 rad/sec) / (-1.5 rad/sec²) = 16.7 sec

Alex17521 [72]
<span>Very wild guess at this one, since I've no idea what "standard wave format" means. First gap would be TRANSVERSE. Second gap could be LONGITUDINAL, or SOUND. Third gap could be ELECTROMAGNETIC (the two possible waves being the ELECTRIC wave and the MAGNETIC wave). http://perendis.webs.com</span>

Why does an egg dropped from a higher height move faster as it reaches the ground than an egg dropped from a lower height?
nignag [31]

Answer:When an egg is dropped from a higher height, it reaches a greater speed before hitting the ground. So the egg dropped from 5 meters has a greater velocity when it strikes the ground. It thus experiences the greater velocity change during the collision.

What is NOT a 21st-century skill that can help a person thrive today?
Soloha48 [4]

Ability to memorize and regurgitate information on tests is the skill that can’t help a person to thrive today in this modern 21st century.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

Thriving in this modern 21st century is not as easy as it used to be in the early 20th and 19th centuries.  So there is a need to develop skills like implementing one's knowledge to real-world structures which will sure help a person to understand and explore more.

Statement B also will sure be helpful to survive in modern society and a person can also improve his/her critical thinking, problem solving and other skills to thrive through this century.

But even though memorizing and regurgitating information can help you get good grade it will never be that helpful in other ways, So option D can be concluded as the right answer.
