The orbit of a spacecraft around the Sun has a perihelion distance of 0.1 AU and an aphelion distance of 0.4 AU. What is the sem

imajor axis of the spacecraft? What is its orbital period?

Solution:

The major axis is the sum of the perihelion and aphelion distances so it is equal to

(0.1 + 0.4) = 0.5 AU

and the semi-major axis is half of the major axis,

= half of (0.1 + 0.4) = half of 0.5 = 0.25 AU.

From Kepler’s 3rd law, P2 = a3 = (0.25)3 = 0.015625 years.

Answer:

The solution(s) are in order with respect to the attachments

2.613\:\cdot10^5 Joules ; 5. Adding the same amount of heat to two different objects will produce the same increase in temperature ; 2. Same speed in both ; 2. A

Explanation:

Diagram 1 ( Liquid Nitrogen ) : So as you can see, we want our units in Joules here, and can therefore multiply the mass of gaseous nitrogen and the latent heat of liquid nitrogen, to cancel the units kg, and receive our solution - in terms of Joules. Let's do it.

q ( energy removed ) = mass of nitrogen * latent heat of liquid nitrogen,

q = 1.3 kg * 2.01 * 10⁵ J / kg = 1.3\:\cdot \:2.01\:\cdot \:\:10^5 = 10^5\cdot \:2.613 = 100000\cdot \:2.613 = 261300 Joules = 261.3 kiloJoules = 2.613 * 10⁵Joules is the energy that must be removed

Diagram 2 : The same amount of heat does not necessarily mean the same increase in temperature for two different objects. The increase in temperature depends on the specific heat capacity of the substance. Therefore your solution is 5 ) Adding the same amount of heat to two different objects will produce the same increase in temperature.

Diagram 3 : The temperatures in both glasses are the same, and hence the molecules have the same average speed. Therefore your solution is 2 ) Same speed in both.

Diagram 4 : Glass A has more water molecules, and hence has more thermal energy. Your solution is 2 ) A.

A sinusoidal transverse wave travels along a long, stretched, string. the amplitude of this wave is 0.0885 m, it's frequency is
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

(a) 0.177 m

(b) 16.491 s

(c) 25 cycles

Explanation:

(a)

Distance between the maximum and the minimum of the  wave = 2A ............ Equation 1

Where A = amplitude of the wave.

Given: A = 0.0885 m,

Distance between the maximum and the minimum of the wave = (2×0.0885) m

Distance between the maximum and the minimum of the wave = 0.177 m.

(b)

T = 1/f ...................... Equation 2.

Where T = period, f = frequency.

Given: f = 4.31 Hz

T = 1/4.31

T = 0.23 s.

If 1 cycle pass through the stationary observer for 0.23 s.

Then, 71.7 cycles will pass through the stationary observer for (0.23×71.7) s.

= 16.491 s.

(c)

If  1.21 m contains  1 cycle,

Then, 30.7 m will contain (30.7×1)/1.21

= 25.37 cycles

Approximately 25 cycles.

An assault rifle fires an eight-shot burst in 0.40 s. Each bullet has a mass of 7.5 g and a speed of 300 m/s as it leaves the gu
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

The average recoil force on the gun during that 0.40 s burst is 45 N.

Explanation:

Mass of each bullet, m = 7.5 g = 0.0075 kg

Speed of the bullet, v = 300 m/s

Time, t = 0.4 s

The change in momentum of an object is equal to impulse delivered. So,

F\times t=mv\\\\F=\dfrac{mv}{t}

For 8 shot burst, average recoil force on the gun is :

F=\dfrac{8mv}{t}\\\\F=\dfrac{7.5}{1000}\cdot\dfrac{300}{0.4}\cdot8\\\\F=45\ N

So, the average recoil force on the gun during that 0.40 s burst is 45 N.
