Will a planet or comet be moving faster in its orbit when it is farther from or closer to the sun?

Physics

anastassius [24]3 years ago

No difference.

A planet, asteroid, space station, rock, empty fuel tank, asteroid,
lost space probe, TV satellite, orbiting telescope, moon, or comet,
if they're traveling in the same orbit around the same central body,
all have the same speed at the same point in the orbit.

The radius of the earth's very nearly circular orbit around the sun is 1.5 1011 m. find the magnitude of the earth's velocity, a
kotykmax [81]
The radius of Earth's circular trajectory is
R=1.5*10^{11} m
The time for the Earth to travel around the Sun is
t=365(days)*24(hours)*3600(seconds) =3.1536*10^7 (s)
Thus the velocity is velocity
v=2\pi R/t =2\pi *1.5*10^{11}/(3.1536*10^{7})=2.99*10^4 (m/s)
From this we can deduce the centripetal acceleration
a=v^2/R =(2.99*10^4)^2/(1.5*10^{11}) =5.96*10^{-3}  (m/s^2)
Angular velocity is
\omega =v/R =(2.99*10^4)/(1.5*10^{11})=2*10^{-7} (rad/s)

A horizontal insulating rod of length 11.8-cm and charge 19 nC is in a plane with a long straight vertical uniform line charge.
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

11.962337 × 10^-4 N

Explanation:

Given the following :

Length L = 11.8

Charge = 29nC = 29 × 10^-9 C

Linear charge density λ = 1.4 × 10^-7 C/m

Radius (r) = 2cm = 2/100 = 0.02 m

Using the relation:

E = 2kλ/r ; F =qE

F = 2kλq/L × ∫dr/r

F = 2*k*q*λ/L × (In(0.02 + L) - In(0.02))

2*k*q*λ/L = [2 × (9 * 10^9) * (29 * 10^9) * (1.4 * 10^-7)]/ 0.118] = 6193.2203 × 10^(9 - 9 - 7) = 6193.2203 × 10^-7 = 6.1932203 × 10^-4

In(0.02 + 0.118) - In(0.02) = In(0.138) - In(0.02) = 1.9315214

Hence,

(6.1932203 × 10^-4) × 1.9315214 = 11.962337 × 10^-4 N

Which picture best demonstrates the phenomenon of diffraction?
timama [110]

Answer:

The image to the left (with the disks on it)

Explanation:

Interference in any type of wave can be gotten in two forms, constructive interference, and destructive interference.

The constructive interference is between two waves with the same phase, that is, each crest and trough correspond with the crest and trough of the another getting as result a wave with twice the amplitude of the original one.

The destructive interference is between two waves out of phase, in which the crest of one cancels with the trough of another.

If light passes for a slit it will get a diffraction pattern in a screen, at which each bright pattern corresponds to a crest and a dark pattern to a trough, as a consequence of constructive interference and destructive interference in different points of its propagation to the screen.

The circular shape of the disks can be a representation of the wavefront and how the overlaps make constructive and destructive interference in order to get the diffraction pattern.
