Answer:

Planet will crash on to the Sun if the tangential velocity becomes zero and Rocket should be fired  from Earth's orbit is at 30 m/s and in opposite direction to the Earth orbits the Sun

Explanation:

The orbital velocity of the Earth about the sun is 30 km/s. If we shoot a rocket with 30 km/s with respect to Earth in the opposite direction.  Then the two velocity vectors cancel. The resultant velocity would be zero with respect to the Sun. resulting velocity is called as tangential velocity.

Planet will crash on to the Sun if the tangential velocity becomes zero and Rocket should be fired  from Earth's orbit is at 30 m/s and in opposite direction to the Earth orbits the Sun

A paper filled capacitor is charged to a potential difference of 2.1 V and then disconnected from the charging circuit. The diel
Goryan [66]

Answer:

Part a)

V' = 7.77 Volts

Part b)

k' = 6.27

Explanation:

As we know that capacitor plate is connected across 2.1 V and after charging it is disconnected from the battery

So here we can say that charge on the plates will remain conserved

So we will have

Q = kC(2.1)

now dielectric is removed between the plates of capacitor

so new potential difference between the plates

V' = \frac{Q}{C'}

V' = \frac{kC(2.1)}{C}

V' = 3.7 \times 2.1

V' = 7.77 Volts

Part b)

Now the capacitor plates are again isolated and unknown dielectric is inserted between the plates

So again charge is same so potential difference is given as

V" = \frac{Q}{k'C}

0.59 V = \frac{kCV}{k'C}

0.59 = \frac{3.7}{k'}

k' = 6.27

What is the function of eye lens of the human eye<br>​
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Lens of the human Eye is a important and one of that most complex sense organ.

Explanation:

Lens of the human eye it helps that in visualizing light and color perception and objects , glance on the human eye structure and function.

Sense organs are much pretty similar to the camera they  help us see the objects clear.

A human eye is the 2.3 cm in diameter and all filled some fluid, and there are following parts in eye:-  cornea,  Retina , Lens ,Pupil , optic nerves.

cornea :- the cornea is the first transparent part of is called cornea, enters the light through the cornea.

Retina :-it is light sensitive layer that consists of nerve cells,then transmitted to the brain through nerves.

Lens:- behind the pupil there is a transparent structure called lens,it shape focus light on the retina.

Pupil:-it control the value of light that enters the human eye.

Optic nerves is are the two types :- (1) cones (2) Rods .

Baseball player A bunts the ball by hitting it in such a way that it acquires an initial velocity of 1.3 m/s parallel to the gro
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

cSep 20, 2010

well, since player b is obviously inadequate at athletics, it shows that player b is a woman, and because of this, she would not be able to hit the ball. The magnitude of the initial velocity would therefore be zero.

First you need to solve for time by using

d=(1/2)(a)(t^2)+(vi)t

1m=(1/2)(9.8)t^2 vertical initial velocity is 0m/s

t=.45 sec

Then you find the horizontal distance traveled by using

v=d/t

1.3m/s=d/.54sec

d=.585m

Then you need to find the time of player B by using

d=(1/2)(a)(t^2)+(vi)t

1.8m=(1/2)(9.8)(t^2) vertical initial velocity is 0

t=.61 sec

Finally to find player Bs initial horizontal velocity you use the horizontal equation

v=d/t

v=.585m/.61 sec

so v=.959m/s
