An exoplanet is in an elliptical orbit around a distant star. At its closest approach, the exoplanet is 0.540 AU from the star a

nd has a speed of 54.0 km/s. When the exoplanet is at its farthest distance from the star of 41.0 AU, what is its speed (in km/s)? (1 AU is the average distance from the Earth to the Sun and is equal to 1.496 ✕ 1011 m. You may assume that other planets and smaller objects in the star system exert negligible forces on the exoplanet.)

Answer:

0.71121 km/s

Explanation:

v_1 = Velocity of planet initially = 54 km/s

r_1 = Distance from star = 0.54 AU

v_2 = Final velocity of planet

r_2 = Final distance from star = 41 AU

As the angular momentum of the system is conserved

mv_1r_1=mv_2r_2\\\Rightarrow v_1r_1=v_2r_2\\\Rightarrow v_2=\frac{v_1r_1}{r_2}\\\Rightarrow v_2=\frac{54\times 0.54}{41}\\\Rightarrow v_2=0.71121\ km/s

When the exoplanet is at its farthest distance from the star the speed is 0.71121 km/s.

What do radio waves carry
iren [92.7K]

The answer is modulation. In modulation a radio wave (also called the "carrier signal") is changed by the signal we want to send to the receiver, for example a song, or, in a wireless network, some data from a computer.

A stone dropped from the top of a 80m high building strikes the ground at 40 m/s after falling for 4 seconds. The stone's potent
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Given that a stone dropped from the top of a 80m high building strikes the ground at 40 m/s after falling for 4 seconds. The stone's potential energy with respect to the ground is equal to its kinetic energy. (use 9 - 10 m/s)

O at the moment of impact

2 seconds after the stone is released after the stone has fallen 40 m

when the stone is moving at 20 m/s

At the top of the hill, the P.E = mgh

P.E = 10 × 80 × m

P.E = 800m

At the moment of impact, K.E = 1/2mv^2

K.E = 1/2 × 40^2 × m

K.E = 1/2 × 1600 × m

K.E = 800m

Since both P.E and K.E are the same, we can therefore conclude that the stone's potential energy with respect to the ground is equal to its kinetic energy at the moment of impact.

The correct answer is option A.
