Answer:
At the closest point
Explanation:
We can simply answer this question by applying Kepler's 2nd law of planetary motion.
It states that:
"A line connecting the center of the Sun to any other object orbiting around it (e.g. a comet) sweeps out equal areas in equal time intervals"
In this problem, we have a comet orbiting around the Sun:
- Its closest distance from the Sun is 0.6 AU
- Its farthest distance from the Sun is 35 AU
In order for Kepler's 2nd law to be valid, the line connecting the center of the Sun to the comet must move slower when the comet is farther away (because the area swept out is proportional to the product of the distance and of the velocity: , therefore if r is larger, then v (velocity) must be lower).
On the other hand, when the the comet is closer to the Sun the line must move faster (, if r is smaller, v must be higher). Therefore, the comet's orbital velocity will be the largest at the closest distance to the Sun, 0.6 A.
Answer:
i don't really know the exact answer but i would say something like earthquakes or steam/excessive heat
Explanation:
Answer:
A
Explanation:
The energy of an electromagnetic wave is directly proportional to its frequency, according to the equation:
E = hf
where
h is the Planck constant
f is the frequency
The frequency of a wave is the number of complete cycles per unit of time: in the figures shown, we see that the more we go towards the right, the higher the frequency is (because the wavelength becomes shorter, so the waves makes more complete cycles per second). This means that the more the box is on the right, the higher the frequency: the figure with the box located more on the right is A, so this is also the figure that represents the range of frequencies with most energy.
Answer:
Because the mass of electrons and protons is very small
Explanation:
The gravitational force exerted between two objects is given by:
where
is the gravitational constant
m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects
r is the distance between the two objects
The mass of a proton and of an electron is very small, so the gravitational force involved in case of such particles is very weak. Let's calculate for example the gravitational attraction between one proton and one electron at a distance of r = 1 m. We have:
- Proton mass:
- Electron mass:
So, the gravitational force between the two particles is:
Which is a very weak force.
By comparison, let's calculate instead the electromagnetic force between a proton and an electron (both having a charge of ) still separated by a distance of r = 1 m. We have:
Which we see is much stronger than the gravitational force (almost by a factor
