Answer:

Comet's orbit.

Explanation:

Edmond Halley and Alexis Clairaut were one of those Newtonian who helped to validate the results of Isaac Newton.

They correctly explained Comet' motion and how planets gravitational force affect them.

But using Newton's idea of Mathematics and Gravity, they have made two important discoveries:

1. Why celestial bodies have different colors.

2. They were able to find the Comet's orbit and prediction(year) of its return.

With what minimum speed must you toss a 130 gg ball straight up to just touch the 15-mm-high roof of the gymnasium if you releas

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

The initial velocity is 0.5114 m/s or 511.4 mm/s

Explanation:

Let the initial velocity be 'v'.

Given:

Mass of the ball (m) = 130 g = 0.130 kg [ 1 g = 0.001 kg]

Initial height of the ball (h₁) = 1.4 mm = 0.0014 m [ 1 mm = 0.001 m]

Final height of the ball (h₂) = 15 mm = 0.015 m

Now, from conservation of energy principle, energy can neither be created nor be destroyed but converted from one form to another.

Here, the kinetic energy of the ball is converted to gravitational potential energy of the ball after reaching the final height.

Change in kinetic energy is given as:

$\Delta KE=\frac{1}{2}m(v_f^2-v_i^2)\\Where\ v_f\to Final\ velocity\\v_i\to Initial\ velocity$

As it just touches the 15 mm high roof, the final velocity will be zero. So,

$v_f=0\ m/s$ .

Now, the change in kinetic energy is equal to:

$\Delta KE = \frac{1}{2}\times 0.130\times v^2\\\\\Delta KE = 0.065v^2$

Change in gravitational potential energy = Final PE - Initial PE

So,

$\Delta U=mg(h_f-h_i)\\\\\Delta U=0.130\times 9.8\times (0.015-0.0014)\\\\\Delta U=0.017\ J$ [ g = 9.8 m/s²]

Now, Change in KE = Change in PE

$0.065v^2=0.017\\\\v=\sqrt{\frac{0.017}{0.065}}\\\\v=0.5114\ m/s\\\\1\ m=1000\ mm\\\\So,0.5114\ m=511.4\ mm\\\\\therefore v=511.4\ mm/s$

Therefore, the initial velocity is 0.5114 m/s or 511.4 mm/s

a spring has a force constant of 100 n/m and an unstretched length of 0.07 m. one end is attached to a post that is free to rota

Digiron [165]

F equals 3N with respect to the circle's center, moving in the same direction as the centripetal acceleration.

<h3>How much centripetal force is there in a centrifuge?</h3>

Centripetal force is the force that pushes an item in the direction of its center of curvature. It is fundamental to how a centrifuge operates.

<h3>On a roller coaster, what is centripetal force?</h3>

An item travelling in a circle is pushed inward toward what is known as the center of rotation, which is essentially what a roller coaster accomplishes when it travels through a loop. The force that maintains an object moving along a curved route is this pull toward the center, or centripetal force.

Calculate the potentia energy of a car with a mass of 3800kg that is on a hill 110 meters above sea level? USE 10 instead of 9.8

Arada [10]

Potential energy (PE ) = m g h

Where:

m = mass = 3800 kg

g = acceleration due gravity = 10 m/s^2

h = heigth = 110 meters

Replacing:

PE = 3800 * 10 * 110 = 4,180,000 J

A baseball pitcher throws a fastball horizontally at a speed of 43.0 m/s. Ignoring air resistance, how far does the ball drop be

Nady [450]

Based on your problem where as ask for the distance of the ball drop between the pitchers mound and the home plate and with a given of the speed of ball is 43m/s and the homeplates is 60.6ft away. Based on my step by step procedure and also considering the value of gravity by 9.8m/s^2 i came up with the distance of 144m away

A technician is checking refrigerant system pressures. Both high- and low-side service ports are located on the A/C compressor.

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Two major causes are outline bellow

1. The presence of air in the system

2. Clogged condenser

Explanation:

1. The presence of air in the system

One of the causes that have been established in relation to high compressor discharge pressure is the presence of air in the system. When this takes place, your best solution is to recharge the system.

2. Clogged condenser

Another is a clogged condenser in which case you will need to clean the condenser so that it will function properly. When you happen to spot that the discharge valve is closed and it is causing high discharge pressure on the compressor, you can solve that easily by opening the valve
