(b) An example of an inverse square field is the gravitational field F = −(mMG)r/|r|3. Use part (a) to find the work done by the

gravitational field when the earth moves from aphelion (at a maximum distance of 1.52 108 km from the sun) to perihelion (at a minimum distance of 1.47 108 km). Use the values m = 5.97 1024 kg, M = 1.99 1030 kg, and G = 6.67 ✕ 10−11 N·m2/kg2. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Answer:

To solve this, we need to recall that Work done W,

W = F x dₐ                         Eqn 1

where F is the gravitational field force and d is the distance travelled by the earth.

But F = −(mMG)r/|r|³                    Eqn 2

then, W = −∫ (mMG)r/|r|³ x dₐ

Integrating this expression gives us

W = -4mMG ((1/d1) -(1/d2))

m = 5.971024 kg, M = 1.991030 kg G = 6.67 ✕ 10⁻¹¹ N·m²/kg²

d2 = 1.52x10¹¹m, d1 = 1.47x10¹¹m  make the units in S.I units and similar

Substituting these value in to the eqn above gives

Now , W = 1.77 x 10³²J  (2 Decimal Places)

An electric generator converts kinetic energy into --------<br> energy.
pickupchik [31]

The correct answer to the question is :  Electric energy

EXPLANATION :

As per the question, we have an electric generator.

Before coming into any conclusion, first we have to understand the function of generator.

The generator is attached to the turbine. When the turbine rotates, the generator also starts rotating with it. Thanks to electromagnetic induction, the electricity is produced in the coil attached to the generator when it rotates.

Hence, from above, it is obvious that kinetic energy is converted into electric energy.

5g of ammonium nitrate was dissolved in 60g of water in an insulated container. The temperature at the start of the reaction was
Minchanka [31]

Answer: The energy absorbed by the reaction from the water is 996 Joules.

Explanation:

Energy absorbed by the reaction or energy lost by the water to the reaction,Q.

Mass of the the reaction  ,m = 60 g

Specific heat of water = c = 4.15 J\g ^oC

Change is temperature=\Delta T=19^oC-23^oC=-4^oC

Q=mc\Delta T=60 g\times 4.15 J\g ^oC\times (-4^oC)=-996 Joules

Negative sigh indicates that energy was given by the water to the reaction.

The energy absorbed by the reaction from the water is 996 Joules.
