The period of the orbit would increase as well

Explanation:

We can answer this question by applying Kepler's third law, which states that:

"The square of the orbital period of a planet around the Sun is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit"

Mathematically,

\frac{T^2}{a^3}=const.

Where

T is the orbital period

a is the semi-major axis of the orbit

In this problem, the question asks what happens if the distance of the Earth from the Sun increases. Increasing this distance means increasing the semi-major axis of the orbit, a: but as we saw from the previous equation, the orbital period of the Earth is proportional to a, therefore as a increases, T increases as well.

Therefore, the period of the orbit would increase.

A bicycle tire is spinning counterclockwise at 2.70 rad/s. During a time period Δt = 1.50 s, the tire is stopped and spun in the
Andru [333]

Answer:

Δω = -5.4 rad/s

αav = -3.6 rad/s²

Explanation:

<u>Given</u>:

           Initial angular velocity = ωi = 2.70 rad/s

           Final angular velocity = ωf = -2.70 rad/s (negative sign is  

           due to the movement in opposite direction)

           Change in time period = Δt = 1.50 s

<u>Required</u>:

           Change in angular velocity = Δω = ?

           Average angular acceleration = αav = ?

<u>Solution</u>:

          <u>Angular velocity (Δω):</u>

               Δω = ωf - ωi

               Δω = -2.70 - 2.70

               Δω = -5.4 rad/s.

          <u> Average angular acceleration (αav):</u>

               αav = Δω/Δt

               αav = -5.4/1.50

              αav = -3.6 rad/s²

Since, the angular velocity is decreasing from 2.70 rad/s (in counter clockwise direction) to rest and then to -2.70 rad/s (in clockwise direction) so, the change in angular velocity is negative.
