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

Nutka1998 [239]

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 piece of wood 400N in weight and 50cm X 30cm X 20cm in size lies on 50cm X 20cm face. Calculate the pressure exerted by it.

Serga [27]

Answer:

P = 4000 [Pa]

Explanation:

Pressure is defined as the relationship between Force and the area where the body rests.

The support area is equal to:

$A=50*20=1000[cm^{2} ]$

But we must convert from square centimeters to square meters.

$1000[cm^{2}]*\frac{1^{2}m^{2} }{100^{2}m^{2} }=0.1[m^{2} ]$

And the pressure is:

$P=\frac{F}{A} \\P=400/0.1\\P=4000[N/m^{2} ]or 4000[Pa]$

A single-slit diffraction pattern is formed by monochromatic electromagnetic radiation from a distant source passing through a s

tatiyna

Answer:

a. λ = 647.2 nm

b. I₀ 9.36 x 10⁻⁵

Explanation:

Given:

β = 56.0 rad , θ = 3.09 ° , γ = 0.170 mm = 0.170 x 10⁻³ m

The wavelength of the radiation can be find using

β = 2 π / γ * sin θ

λ = [ 2π * γ * sin θ ] / β

λ = [ 2π * 0.107 x 10⁻³m * sin (3.09°) ] / 56.0 rad

λ = 647.14 x 10⁻⁹ m ⇒ λ = 647.2 nm

The intensity of the central maximum I₀

I = I₀ (4 / β² ) * sin ( β / 2)²

I = I₀ (4 / 56.0²) * [ sin (56.0 /2) ]²

I = I₀ 9.36 x 10⁻⁵
