Suppose that a comet has a very eccentric orbit that brings it quite close to the Sun at closest approach (perihelion) and beyon

d Mars when furthest from the Sun (aphelion), but with an average distance (semi-major axis) of 1 AU. How long will it take to complete an orbit and where will it spend most of its time

Answer:

16.63min

Explanation:

The question is about the period of the comet in its orbit.

To find the period you can use one of the Kepler's law:

T^2=\frac{4\pi}{GM}r^3

T: period

G: Cavendish constant = 6.67*10^-11 Nm^2 kg^2

r: average distance = 1UA = 1.5*10^11m

M: mass of the sun = 1.99*10^30 kg

By replacing you obtain:

T=\sqrt{\frac{4\pi}{GM}r^3}=\sqrt{\frac{4\pi^2}{(6.67*10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2)(1.99*10^{30}kg)}(1.496*10^8m)^3}\\\\T=997.9s\approx16.63min

the comet takes around 16.63min

True [87]

Answer:

The big rip theory

Explanation:

      I believe what you are referring to is the big rip theory, in which the universe expands faster than the speed of light Kurzgesagt refers to it as a "horizon" but in reality it's a little more complicated than that. Eventually the expansion of the universe will accelerate far beyond the speed of light creating space between molecules until eventually all matter is fleeting and the entire universe is an endlessly vast cosmic void with not but the occasion molecule left from a time when things weren't so lonely.

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

5.25 J

Explanation:

W = PE = (f)(x)

PE = 35N*0.15m

PE = 5.25 N*m

1 N*m = 1 J

PE = 5.25 J

a certain machine changes a large input force into a smaller output force. how will the machine affect the distance over which t
nasty-shy [4]
For the answer to the question above, if your question is a lever with a pivot and which sounds more likely ...then I would say from the principle of moments: F1*d1=F2*d2 

<span>given F1=high and F2=low ---> d1 must be low and d2 high for the equations to be balanced. </span>

<span>So the answer is simply: Inversely</span>

Answer:

I believe it is true, but our brains don’t do it, I think it is the lenses in our eyes that do it. I might be wrong tho
