The eccentricity of an asteroid's orbit is 0.0442, and the semimajor axis is 1.12 x 1011 m. The Sun's center is at one focus of

the asteroid's orbit. (a) How far from this focus is the other focus in meters? (b) What is the ratio of this distance to the solar radius, 6.96 x 108 m?

Answer:

a. $d=99x10^{8}m$

b. $r=14.22 R_s$

Explanation:

The eccentricity of an asteroid's is 0.0442 so

a.

to find the focus distance between both focus is

$d=2*e*a$

$e=1.12x10^{11}m\\a=0.0442$

So replacing numeric

$d=2*1.12x10^{11}m*0.0442=9900800000$

$d=99x10^{8}m$

b.

Now to find the ratio of that distance between the solar radius and the distance

$r=\frac{d_1}{d_s}$

$r=R_s*\frac{99x10^8m}{6.96x10^8m}$

$r=14.22 R_s$

An athlete swings a ball, connected to the end of a chain, in a horizontal circle. The athlete is able to rotate the ball at the

garik1379 [7]

(a) 6.04 rev/s

The speed of the ball is given by:

$v=\omega r$

where

$\omega$ is the angular speed

r is the distance of the ball from the centre of the circle

In situation 1), we have

$\omega=8.13 rev/s \cdot 2\pi = 51.0 rad/s$

r = 0.600 m

So the speed of the ball is

$v=(51.0 rad/s)(0.600 m)=30.6 m/s$

In situation 2), we have

$\omega=6.04 rev/s \cdot 2\pi = 37.9 rad/s$

r = 0.900 m

So the speed of the ball is

$v=(37.9 rad/s)(0.900 m)=34.1 m/s$

So, the ball has greater speed when rotating at 6.04 rev/s.

(b) $1561 m/s^2$

The centripetal acceleration of the ball is given by

$a=\frac{v^2}{r}$

where

v is the speed

r is the distance of the ball from the centre of the trajectory

For situation 1),

v = 30.6 m/s

r = 0.600 m

So the centripetal acceleration is

$a=\frac{(30.6 m/s)^2}{0.600 m}=1561 m/s^2$

(c) $1292 m/s^2$

For situation 2 we have

v = 34.1 m/s

r = 0.900 m

So the centripetal acceleration is

$a=\frac{v^2}{r}=\frac{(34.1 m/s)^2}{0.900 m}=1292 m/s^2$

What unit is used for the value of G in Newton's Law of Universal<br> Gravitation?<br> *

Helga [31]

Answer:

In SI units, its value is approximately 6.674×10−11 m3⋅kg−1⋅s−2. The modern notation of Newton's law involving G was introduced in the 1890s by C. V. Boys. The first implicit measurement with an accuracy within about 1% is attributed to Henry Cavendish in a 1798 experiment.

A baseball has a momentum of 6.0 kg.m/s south and mass of 0.15kg. What’s the baseballs velocity?

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

<em>v=40 m/s south</em>

Explanation:

<u>Momentum </u>

It's a physical magnitude that measures the product of the mass by the velocity of a particle. Its units in the International System is kg.m/s and the formula is

$p=m.v$

Where m is the mass and v the velocity of the particle. If we wanted to solve for v, we have

$\displaystyle v=\frac{p}{m}$

The baseball has a momentum of 6.0 kg.m/s south and mass of 0.15kg, thus

$\displaystyle v=\frac{6}{0.15}=40\ m/s$

The velocity is directed to the south
