Assume a comet is traveling at a constant velocity in deep space. Why would it speed up as it approaches our solar system?

D
The comet has no net force acting on it, which results in constant velocity. Near our solar system, the influence of the gravitational forces due to the sun and the planets will increase as we know that gravitational force is:
F = GMm/r²
The net force will produce an acceleration on the comet, which will cause its velocity to change.

Steam enters a well-insulated nozzle at 200 lbf/in.2 , 500F, with a velocity of 200 ft/s and exits at 60 lbf/in.2 with a velocit
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

386.2^{\circ}F

Explanation:

We are given that

P_1=200lbf/in^2

P_2=60lbf/in^2

v_1=200ft/s

v_2=1700ft/s

T_1=500^{\circ}F

Q=0

C_p=1BTU/lb^{\circ}F

We have to find the exit temperature.

By steady energy flow equation

h_1+v^2_1+Q=h_2+v^2_2

C_pT_1+\frac{P^2_1}{25037}+Q=C_pT_2+\frac{P^2_2}{25037}

1BTU/lb=25037ft^2/s^2

Substitute the values

1\times 500+\frac{(200)^2}{25037}+0=1\times T_2+\frac{(1700)^2}{25037}

500+1.598=T_2+115.4

T_2=500+1.598-115.4

T_2=386.2^{\circ}F

If the absolute temperature of a gas is 600 K, the temperature in degrees Celsius is
gavmur [86]
Kelvin is a base unit of temperature scale from SI that defines as zero degree Kelvin (absolute zero). The absolute zero is a hypothetical statement that all molecular movement stops because there is no transient of energy for the molecules to move. When converting temperature in degree Celsius to Kelvin, add 273. You are given 600K and you are asked to find it in degrees Celsius.  

T(K) = T(C) + 273
600 K = T(C) + 273
T(C) = 600 – 273
T(C) = 327 °C

Ask Your Teacher Suppose the roller coaster below(h1 = 36 m, h2 = 13 m, h3 = 30) passes point A with a speed of 1.00 m/s. If the
Oliga [24]

Answer:

The answer to the question is

The roller coaster will reach point B with a speed of 14.72 m/s

Explanation:

Considering both kinetic energy KE = 1/2×m×v² and potential energy PE = m×g×h

Where m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = starting height of the roller coaster

we have the given variables

h₁ = 36 m,

h₂ = 13 m,

h₃ = 30 m

v₁ = 1.00 m/s

Total energy at point 1 = 0.5·m·v₁² + m·g·h₁

= 0.5 m×1² + m×9.81×36

=353.66·m

Total energy at point 2 = 0.5·m·v₂² + m·g·h₂

= 0.5×m×v₂² + 9.81 × 13 × m = 0.5·m·v₂² + 127.53·m

The total energy at 1 and 2 are not equal due to the frictional force which must be considered

Total energy at point 2 = Total energy at point 1 + work done against friction

Friction work = F×d×cosθ = (\frac{1}{5} × mg)×60×cos 180 = -117.72m

0.5·m·v₂² + 127.53·m = 353.66·m -117.72m

0.5·m·v₂² = 108.41×m

v₂² = 216.82

v₂  =  14.72 m/s

The roller coaster will reach point B with a speed of 14.72 m/s

If an object has a mass of 20 grams and a volume of 40 cm3, what is its density in g/cm3?
sattari [20]
Density = Mass/Volume 
So, given mass = 20 g and volume = 40 cm^3 
By substituting in above equation, Density = 20/40 = 0.5 g/cm^3
Hope it helps.
