To answer this question, it helps enormously if you know
the formula for momentum:
Momentum = (mass) x (speed) .
Looking at the formula, you can see that momentum is directly
proportional to speed. So if speed doubles, so does momentum.
If the car's momentum is 20,000 kg-m/s now, then after its speed
doubles, its momentum has also doubled, to 40,000 kg-m/s.
Answer:
B. About 12 degrees
Explanation:
The orbital period is calculated using the following expression:
T = 2π*()
Where r is the distance of the planet to the sun, G is the gravitational constant and m is the mass of the sun.
Now, we don't actually need to solve the values of the constants, since we now that the distance from the sun to Saturn is 10 times the distance from the sun to the earth. We now this because 1 AU is the distance from the earth to the sun.
Now, we divide the expression used to calculate the orbital period of Saturn by the expression used to calculate the orbital period of the earth. Notice that the constants will cancel and we will get the rate of orbital periods in terms of the distances to the sun:
=
Knowing that the orbital period of the earth is 1 year, the orbital period of Saturn will be years, or 31.62 years.
We find the amount of degrees it moves in 1 year:
or about 12 degrees.
The correct answer should be C. Hydroelectric power stations can only produce enough energy for a small town as they do not produce large quantities
Hydroelectric power stations can power even large cities that have millions of people.
Answer:
Explanation:
It is given that,
Weight of the person on Earth, W = 818 N
Weight of a person is given by the following formula as :
g is the acceleration due to gravity on earth
m = 83.46 kg
The mass of an object is same everywhere. It does not depend on the location.
Let W' is the weight of the person on the surface of a nearby planet, W' = 5320 N
g' is the acceleration due to gravity on that planet. So,
So, the acceleration due to gravity on that planet is . Hence, this is the required solution.
<em>Another key factor that determines a star's colour is its temperature. As stars become hotter, the overall radiated energy increases, and the peak of the curve changes to shorter wavelengths. To put it another way, when a star heats up, the light it produces moves toward the blue end of the spectrum.</em>
