A planet of mass 7.00 1025 kg is in a circular orbit of radius 6.00 1011 m around a star. The star exerts a force on the planet

of constant magnitude 6.51 1022 N. The speed of the planet is 2.36 104 m/s.
(a) In half a "year" the planet goes half way around the star. What is the distance that the planet travels along the semicircle?
distance = m
(b) During this half "year", how much work is done on the planet by the gravitational force acting on the planet?
work = J
(c) What is the change in kinetic energy of the planet?
?K = J
(d) What is the magnitude of the change of momentum of the planet?

Answer:

A) 1.88 * 10^17 m

B) 1.22 * 10^34 J

C) 1.95 * 10^34 J

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Mass of planet = 7.00 * 10^25 kg

Radius of orbit = 6.00 * 10^11 m

Force exerted on planet = 6.51 * 10^22 N

Velocity of planet = 2.36 * 10^4 m/s

A) The distance traveled by the planet is half of the circumference of the orbit (which is circular).

The circumference of the orbit is

C = 2 * pi * R

R = radius of orbit

C = 2 * 3.142 * 6.0 * 10¹¹

C = 3.77 * 10¹² m

Hence, distance traveled will be:

D = 0.5 * 3.77 * 10¹²

D = 1.88 * 10 ¹² m/s

B) Work done is given as:

W = F * D

W = 652 * 10²² * 1.88 * 10¹¹

W = 1.22 * 10³⁴ J

C) Change in Kinetic energy is given as:

K. E. = 0.5 * m * v²

K. E. = 0.5 * 7 * 10^25 * (2.36 * 10^4)²

K. E. = 1.95 * 10³⁴ J

The floor of a railroad flatcar is loaded with loose crates having a coefficient of static friction of 0.420 with the floor. If

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

The distance is $s= 30.3 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The coefficient of static friction is $\mu_s = 0.42$

The initial speed of the train is $u = 57 \ km /hr = 15.8 \ m/s$

For the crate not to slide the friction force must be equal to the force acting on the train i.e

$-F_f = F$

The negative sign shows that the two forces are acting in opposite direction

=> $mg * \mu_s = ma$

=> $-g * \mu_s = a$

=> $a = -9.8 * 0.420$

=> $a = -4.116 m/s^2$

From equation of motion

$v^2 = u^2 + 2as$

Here v = 0 m/s since it came to a stop

=> $s= \frac{v^2 - u^2 }{ 2 a}$

=> $s= \frac{0 -(15.8)^2 }{ - 2 * 4.116}$

=> $s= 30.3 \ m$

A person has long hair hanging straight down from their head. A second person rubs a balloon with felt so that the balloon is ne

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

<em>The best explanation is that the first person is grounded to the earth, and his/her body either draws up negative charges from the earth, or tend to conducts negative charges to the earth, depending on the charge on the balloon.</em>

Explanation:

The earth is an infinite store for charges. In the first case where the second person brings a negatively charged balloon towards the first person, the negative charges on the balloon induces the first person's body to tend to attract the negative charges on the balloon through the first person's body to the positive charges within the earth. In the second case when again a positively charged balloon is brought near the first person's hair, the positive charges on the balloon induce the first person's body into drawing up negative charges from within the earth. This charges, and their opposite induced charges, create an attractive force between the hair strands and the balloons.

The speed of a box traveling on a horizontal friction surface changes from vi = 13 m/s to vf = 11.5 m/s in a distance of d = 8.5

KiRa [710]

Answer:

0.68 s

Explanation:

We are given that

Initial velocity of box= $u=13m/s$

Final velocity of box=v=11.5 m/s

Distance=d=8.5 m

We have to find the time taken by box to slow by this amount.

We know that

$v^2-u^2=2as$

Substitute the values

$(11.5)^2-(13)^2=2a(8.5)$

$132.25-169=17a$

$-36.75=17a$

$a=\frac{-36.75}{17}=-2.2m/s^2$

We know that

Acceleration= $a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

Substitute the values

$-2.2=\frac{11.5-13}{t}$

$-2.2=\frac{-1.5}{t}$

$t=\frac{1.5}{2.2}=0.68 s$

Hence, the time taken by box to slow by this amount=0.68 s
