Answer: Option <em>a.</em>

Explanation:

Kepler's 2nd law of planetary motion states:

<em>A line segment joining a planet and the Sun sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of time.</em>

It tells us that it doesn't matter how far Earth is from the Sun, at equal times, the area swept out by Earth's orbit it's always the same independently from the position in the orbit.

A disc with a mass of 1 kg moves horizontally to the right with a speed of 7 m/s on a table with negligible friction when it col
Elodia [21]

Answer:

1.6 m/s

Explanation:

First you need to find the momentums of each disc by multiplying their velocities with mass.

disc 1: 7*1= 7 kg m/s

disc 2: 1*9= 9 kg m/s

Second, you need to find the total momentum of the system by adding the momentums of each sphere.

9+7= 16 kg m/s

Because momentum is conserved, this is equal to the momentum of the composite body.

Finally, to find the composite body's velocity, divide its total momentum by its mass. This is because mass*velocity=momentum

16/10=1.6

The velocity of the composite body is 1.6 m/s.

A 6 kilogram block in outer space is moving at -100 m/s (to the left). It suddenly experiences three forces as shown below.
Alika [10]

Newton's second law and the kinematic relations allow to find the results for the questions about forces and the movement of the block are:

    B) the force applied to maintain the system is equilibrium is: F = 0.39 N with an angle of tea = 180º

    C) The maximum force is: F = 24 N

    D) The time to stop the block is: t = 25 s

 

Newton's second law establishes a relationship between the net force, the mass, and the acceleration of the body. In the special case that the acceleration is zero it is called the equilibrium condition.

B) They indicate a diagram of forces on the block, let's look for the components of the force that the block maintains with zero acceleration, in the attached we have a free-body diagram including the force applied to keep the system in equilibrium.

x-axis

      -10 + 12 sin 60 + Fₓ = 0

        Fₓ = 10- 12 sin 60 = -0.39 N

y-axis

       12 cos 60 - 6 + F_y = 0

        F_y = 6 - 12 cos 60 = 0 N

We can give the result of the force in two ways:

  • Form of coordinates F = -0.39 i ^ N
  • Form of module and angle.

Let's use Pythagoras' theorem to find the modulus.

       F = \sqrt{F_x^2 + F_y^2 } \\F = \sqrt{0.39^2 +0^2}  

       F = 0.39N

We use trigonometry for the angle.

       tan \theta = \frac{F_y}{F_x}

       tan θ=  0º

The component of the force is negative therefore this angle is in the second quadrant, to measure the angle from the positive side of the x axis in a counterclockwise direction.

        θ = 180 + θ'

        θ = 180 + 0

        θ = 180º

C) if the three forces can be moved and the maximum force occurs when they are all linear.

          10+ 6 + 6 + F = 0

          F = -24 N

D) if we maintain this force and eliminate the other three, the block stops, let's look for its acceleration.

          a = \frac{F}{m}  

          a = \frac{24}{6}  

         a =  4 m / s²

The acceleration is in the opposite direction of the initial velocity of the block v₀ = -100 m / s

If we use kinematic relations.

        v = v₀ - a t

Final velocity when stopped is zero

         t = \frac{0-v_o}{a}

         t = 100/4

         t = 25 s

In conclusion using Newton's second law and the kinematics relations we can find the results for the questions about the forces and the motion of the block are:

    B) the force applied to maintain the system is equilibrium is: F = 0.39 N with an angle of tea = 180º

    C) The maximum force is: F = 24 N

    D) The time to stop the block is: t = 25 s
