Answer:

First statement:

Energy can neither be created nor destroyed.

Second statement:

Energy can be converted from one form to another.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy:energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be converted from one form to another

Suppose you read in the newspaper that a new planet has been found. Its average speed in its orbit is 33 kilometers per second (

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

E. Kepler's second law says the planet must move fastest when it is closest, not when it is farthest away.

Explanation:

We can answer this question by using Kepler's second law of planetary motion, which states that:

"A line connecting the center of the Sun with the center of each planet sweeps out equal areas in equal intervals of time"

This means that when a planet is further away from the Sun, it will move slower (because the line is longer, so it must move slower), while when the planet is closer to the Sun, it will move faster (because the line is shorter, so it must move faster).

In the text of this problem, it is written that the planet moves at 31 km/s when is close to the star and 35 km/s when it is farthest: this is in disagreement with what we said above, therefore the correct option is

E. Kepler's second law says the planet must move fastest when it is closest, not when it is farthest away.

A Foucault pendulum consists of a brass sphere with a diameter of 31.0 cm suspended from a steel cable 11.0 m long (both measure

kozerog [31]

Answer:

43.7 °C

Explanation:

$\alpha_b$ = Coefficient of linear expansion of brass = $18\times 10^{-6}\ ^{\circ}C$

$\alpha_s$ = Coefficient of linear expansion of steel = $11\times 10^{-6}\ ^{\circ}C$

$L_{0b}$ = Initial length of brass = 31 cm

$L_{0s}$ = Initial length of steel = 11 m

$\Delta L$ = Total change in length = 3 mm

Total change in length would be

$\Delta L=\Delta L_b+\Delta L_s\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=L_{0b}\alpha_b\Delta T+L_{0s}\alpha_b\Delta T\\\Rightarrow \Delta T=\frac{\Delta L}{L_{0b}\alpha_b+L_{0s}\alpha_b}\\\Rightarrow \Delta T=\frac{0.003}{0.31\times 18\times 10^{-6}+11\times 10^{-6}\times 11}\\\Rightarrow \Delta T=23.7\ ^{\circ}C$

$\Delta T=23.7\\\Rightarrow T_f-T_i=23.7\\\Rightarrow T_f=23.7+T_i\\\Rightarrow T_f=23.7+20\\\Rightarrow T_f=43.7\ ^{\circ}C$

The final temperature is 43.7 °C

If the frequency of the motion of a simple harmonic oscillator is doubled, by what factor does the maximum speed of the oscillat

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

If the frequency of the motion of a simple harmonic oscillator is doubled , then maximum speed of the oscillator changes by the factor 2

Explanation:

We know that in a simple harmonic oscillator the maximum speed is given by

$v_{max}$ = $Aw$

Here A is amplitude which is constant , so from above equation we see that maximum speed is directly proportional to $w\\$ of the oscillation .
