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

A phonograph record 0.15 m in its radius rotates 18 times per 90 seconds what is the frequency?
ioda

Answer:

The frequency of the phonograph record is 0.2 Hz

Explanation:

The frequency of an object moving in uniform circular motion is the number of completed cycles the object makes in a specified time period

The given parameters of the phonograph record are;

The radius of the record = 0.15 m

The number of times the phonograph record rotates, n = 18 times

The time it takes the phonograph record to rotate the 18 times, t = 90 seconds

The frequency of the phonograph record, f = (The number of times the phonograph record rotates) ÷ (The time it takes the phonograph record to rotate the 18 times)

∴ The frequency of the phonograph record, f = n/t = 18/(90 s) = 0.2 Hz

The frequency of the phonograph record = 0.2 Hz.

A water wave has a speed of 23.0 meters/second. If the wave’s frequency is 0.0680 hertz, what is the wavelength?
tankabanditka [31]
     Using the Fundamental Equation of Wave, we have:

v=\lambda f \\ \lambda= \frac{23}{0.068}  \\ \boxed {\lambda \approx 338m}

The thermal energy used by heater in 3 minutes is used to melt wax.Melting point of solid wax is 60.Specific heat of wax is 220j
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

m = 35 g

Explanation:

The specific heat of a material can be calculated by the following formula:

C = \frac{Q}{m}\\

where,

C = Specific Heat of Wax = 220 J/g

Q = Amount of Heat Supplied by the Heater = 7700 J

m = mass of wax melted = ?

Therefore,

220\ J/g = \frac{7700\ J}{m}\\\\m = \frac{7700\ J}{220\ J/g}\\

<u>m = 35 g </u>

Please help me with this question​
vovangra [49]

Answer:

1. 12 V

2a. R₁ = 4 Ω

2b. V₁ = 4 V

3a. A = 1.5 A

3b. R₂ = 4 Ω

4. Diagram is not complete

Explanation:

1. Determination of V

Current (I) = 2 A

Resistor (R) = 6 Ω

Voltage (V) =?

V = IR

V = 2 × 6

V = 12 V

2. We'll begin by calculating the equivalent resistance. This can be obtained as follow:

Voltage (V) = 12 V

Current (I) = 1 A

Equivalent resistance (R) =?

V = IR

12 = 1 × R

R = 12 Ω

a. Determination of R₁

Equivalent resistance (R) = 12 Ω

Resistor 2 (R₂) = 8 Ω

Resistor 1 (R₁) =?

R = R₁ + R₂ (series arrangement)

12 = R₁ + 8

Collect like terms

12 – 8 =

4 = R₁

R₁ = 4 Ω

b. Determination of V₁

Current (I) = 1 A

Resistor 1 (R₁) = 4 Ω

Voltage 1 (V₁) =?

V₁ = IR₁

V₁ = 1 × 4

V₁ = 4 V

3a. Determination of the current.

Since the connections are in series arrangement, the same current will flow through each resistor. Thus, the ammeter reading can be obtained as follow:

Resistor 1 (R₁) = 4 Ω

Voltage 1 (V₁) = 6 V

Current (I) =?

V₁ = IR₁

6 = 4 × I

Divide both side by 4

I = 6 / 4

I = 1.5 A

Thus, the ammeter (A) reading is 1.5 A

b. Determination of R₂

We'll begin by calculating the voltage cross R₂. This can be obtained as follow:

Total voltage (V) = 12 V

Voltage 1 (V₁) = 6 V

Voltage 2 (V₂) =?

V = V₁ + V₂ (series arrangement)

12 = 6 + V₂

Collect like terms

12 – 6 = V₂

6 = V₂

V₂ = 6 V

Finally, we shall determine R₂. This can be obtained as follow:

Voltage 2 (V₂) = 6 V

Current (I) = 1.5 A

Resistor 2 (R₂) =?

V₂ = IR₂

6 = 1.5 × R₂

Divide both side by 1.5

R₂ = 6 / 1.5

R₂ = 4 Ω

4. The diagram is not complete
