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

How do the individual forces compare when the rider experiences a sensation being lighter than his normal weight ? What is the a
shusha [124]

Answer:

When the elevator is accelerating downward, the person feels lighter due to the downward normal force being less than the person's weight.

Explanation:

A person riding in an elevator subjected to a series of unbalanced forces depending on the direction the elevator is travelling.

Two forces are acting on the person; the force of gravity and the upward normal force from the elevator.

When the elevator is going upwards with acceleration a, the person feels heavier than his normal weight, due to the upward normal force being greater than the person's weight. N = mg + ma

When the elevator is moving downwards with acceleration a, the person feels lighter due to the downward normal force being less than the person's weight. N = mg - ma

However, when the elevator is moving up or down at constant velocity ie. acceleration a = 0, the person experience a normal force equal to weight. N = mg

When the elevator is moving downwards with acceleration a = g, the person experiences weightlessness. N = (mg - mg) = 0

You place an ice cube of mass 7.50×10−3kg and temperature 0.00∘C on top of a copper cube of mass 0.220 kg. All of the ice melts,
g100num [7]

Answer:

T = 29.66 ^o C

Explanation:

As we know that here final equilibrium temperature is 0 degree C

so we can use energy conservation here

heat given by the cube = heat absorbed by the ice

so we have

ms \Delta T = m' L

so here we have

0.220(385)(T - 0) = (7.50 \times 10^{-3})(3.35 \times 10^5)

T = \frac{2512.5}{0.220 \times 385}

T = 29.66 ^o C

A rock is attached to the left end of a uniform meter stick that has the same mass as the rock. How far from the left end of the
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

M₂ = M  then L₂ = L

M₂> M  then L₂ = \frac{M}{M_{2}} L

Explanation:

This is a static equilibrium exercise, to solve it we must fix a reference system at the turning point, generally in the center of the rod. By convention counterclockwise turns are considered positive

          ∑ τ = 0

           

The mass of the rock is M and placed at a distance, L the mass of the rod M₁, is considered to be placed in its center of mass, which by uniform e is in its geometric center (x = 0) and the triangular mass M₂, with a distance L₂

The triangular shape of the second object determines that its mass can be considered concentrated in its geometric center (median) that tapers with a vertical line if the triangle is equilateral, the most used shape in measurements.

         M L + M₁ 0 - m₂ L₂ = 0

         M L - m₂ L₂ = 0

         L₂ = \frac{M}{M_{2}} L

From this answer we have several possibilities

* if the two masses are equal then L₂ = L

* If the masses are different, with M₂> M then L₂ = \frac{M}{M_{2}} L

In a digital multimeter, what changes inside the meter when you push the button to change from 200v range to the 20v range? by w
charle [14.2K]
So we want to know what changes inside the multimeter when we change the voltage range from 200 V to  20 V, by what factor and does it increase or decrease. What we want when trying to measure the voltage with a multimeter is that a minimal current passes trough the mulitmeter so when we change the voltage range, we decrease the resistance by a factor of 10 because the voltage is decreased by a factor of 10.
