Bumek [7]2 years ago

A comet is the loose, icy body with a long, narrow orbit.
Comets are very small solar system body made mainly of ices mixed with smaller amounts of dust and rock. Most comets are not larger than a few kilometers across. The main body of the comet is called the nucleus, and it can contain water, methane, nitrogen and other ices. Their speeds vary depending on their orbits and where they are in it. The closer they are to the sun, the faster they are going.

The 26-kg sphere c is released from rest when θ = 0∘ and the tension in the spring is f = 100 n

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

You are given the mass of a sphere that is 26 kg sphere and it is released from rest when θ = 0°. You are also given the force of the spring that is F = 100 N. You are asked to find the tension of the spring. Imagine that the sphere is connected to a spring. The spring exerts a tension and the spring exerts gravitational pull. This will follow the second law of newton.

T - F = ma
T = ma + F
T = 26kg (9.81m/s²) + 100 N
T = 355.06 N

How much work is done when an engine generates 400 Watts of power in 25 seconds?

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

10000 J or 10 KJ

Explanation:

power = workdone/time taken

400 = workdone/25

workdone = 400 * 25

=10000 J

Two spaceships leave Earth in opposite directions, each with a speed of 0.60c with respect to Earth. (a) What is the SPEED of sp

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

The relative speed of 1 relative to 2 is 0.88c

Explanation:

In relativistic mechanics the relative speed between 2 objects moving in different direction is given by

$v_{ab}=\frac{v_{a}+v_{b}}{1+\frac{v_{a}v_{b}}{c^{2}}}$

Since it is given that

$v_{a}=0.6c\\\\v_{b}=0.6c$

Applying values in the formula we get

$v_{ab}=\frac{0.6c+0.6c}{1+\frac{(0.6c)^{2}}{c^{2}}}\\\\v_{ab}=0.88c$

A ship sets sail from Rotterdam, The Netherlands, heading due north at 8.00 m/s relative to the water. The local ocean current i

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

The velocity of the ship relative to the earth V = 9.05 $\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

The local ocean current is = 1.52 m/s

Direction $\theta$ = 40°

Velocity component in X - direction $V_{x}$ = 1.52 $\cos 40$ °

$V_{x}$ = 1.164 $\frac{m}{s}$

Velocity component in Y - direction $V_{y}$ = 8 + 1.52 $\sin 40$ °

$V_{y}$ = 8.97 $\frac{m}{s}$

The velocity of the ship relative to the earth

$V = \sqrt{V_{x}^{2} + V_{y} ^{2} }$

Put the values of $V_{x}$ and $V_{y}$ we get,

⇒ $V = \sqrt{1.164^{2} + 8.97 ^{2} }$

⇒ V = 9.05 $\frac{m}{s}$

This is the velocity of the ship relative to the earth.

If two micro coulomb of charge is flowing in a circuit for 5 minutes. What is the amount of current in the circuit?

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

6.67×10¯⁹ A

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Quantity of electricity (Q) = 2 μC

Time (t) = 5 mins

Current (I) =?

Next, we shall convert 2 μC to C. This can be obtained as follow:

1 μC = 1×10¯⁶ C

Therefore,

2 μC = 2 μC × 1×10¯⁶ C / 1 μC

2 μC = 2×10¯⁶ C

Next, we shall convert 5 mins to seconds. This can be obtained as follow:

1 min = 60 secs

Therefore,

5 min = 5 min × 60 sec / 1 min

5 mins = 300 s

Finally, we shall determine the current in the circuit. This can be obtained as follow:

Quantity of electricity (Q) = 2×10¯⁶ C

Time (t) = 300 s

Current (I) =?

Q = It

2×10¯⁶ = I × 300

Divide both side by 300

I = 2×10¯⁶ / 300

I = 6.67×10¯⁹ A

Thus, the current in the circuit is 6.67×10¯⁹ A
