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.

An elementary particle of mass m completely absorbs a photon, after which its mass is 1.01m. (a) what was the energy of the inco
sdas [7]
A.) We use the famous equation proposed by Albert Einstein written below:

E = Δmc²
where
E is the energy of the photon
Δm is the mass defect, or the difference of the mass before and after the reaction
c is the speed of light equal to 3×10⁸ m/s

Substituting the value:

E = (1.01m - m)*(3×10⁸ m/s) = 0.01mc² = 3×10⁶ Joules

b) The actual energy may be even greater than 3×10⁶ Joules because some of the energy may have been dissipated. Not all of the energy will be absorbed by the photon. Some energy would be dissipated to the surroundings.

If the block is subjected to the force of F = 500 N, determine its velocity at s = 0.5 m. When s = 0, the block is at rest and t
STatiana [176]

Answer:

The velocity is  4.6 m/s^2

Explanation:

Given:

Force = 500N

Distance  s= 0

To find :

Its velocity at s = 0.5 m

Solution:

\sum F_{x}=m a

F\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)-F_{S}=13 a

500\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)-\left(k_{s}\right)=13 a

400-(500 s)=13 a

a = \frac{400 -(500s)}{13}

a = (30.77 -38.46s) m/s^2

Using the relation,

a=\frac{d v}{d t}=\frac{d v}{d s} \times \frac{d s}{d t}

a=v \frac{d v}{d s}

v d v=a d s

Now integrating on both sides

\int_{0}^{v} v d v=\int_{0}^{0.5} a d s

\int_{0}^{v} v d v=\int_{0}^{0.5}(30.77-38.46 s) d s

\left[\frac{v^{2}}{2}\right]_{0}^{2}=\left[\left(30.77 s-19.23 s^{2}\right)\right]_{0}^{0.5}

\left[\frac{v^{2}}{2}\right]=\left[\left(30.77(0.5)-19.23(0.5)^{2}\right)\right]

\left[\frac{v^{2}}{2}\right]=[15.385-4.807]

\left[\frac{v^{2}}{2}\right]=10.578

v^{2}=10.578 \times 2

v^{2}=21.15

v = \sqrt{21.15}

v = 4.6 m/s^2
