I have an astronomy question... Spinning up the solar nebula. The orbital speed of the material in the solar nebula at Pluto's a

verage distance from the sun was about 5km/s. What was the orbital speed of this material when it was 40,000 AU from the sun (before it fell inward with the collapse of the nebula)? Use the law of conservation of angular momentum. I have the angular momentum = m x v x r. Is this correct?

<span>The angular momentum of a particle in orbit is 

l = m v r 

Assuming that no torques act and that angular momentum is conserved then if we compare two epochs "1" and "2" 

m_1 v_1 r_1 = m_2 v_2 r_2 

Assuming that the mass did not change, conservation of angular momentum demands that 

v_1 r_1 = v_2 r_2 

or 

v1 = v_2 (r_2/r_1) 

Setting r_1 = 40,000 AU and v_2 = 5 km/s and r_2 = 39 AU (appropriate for Pluto's orbit) we have 

v_2 = 5 km/s (39 AU /40,000 AU) = 4.875E-3 km/s

Therefore, </span> the orbital speed of this material when it was 40,000 AU from the sun is <span>4.875E-3 km/s.

I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly.

In a closed system, as kinetic energy increases, what happens to potential energy?
kupik [55]
<h2>Because kinetic energy is proportional to the velocity squared, increases in velocity will have an exponentially greater effect on translational kinetic energy. Doubling the mass of an object will only double its kinetic energy, but doubling the velocity of the object will quadruple its velocity.</h2>

Consider two identical insulated metal spheres, A and B. Sphere A initially has a charge of -6.0 units and sphere B initially ha
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

<em>-2 units of charge</em>

Explanation:

charge on A = Qa = -6 units

charge on B = Qb = 2 units

if the spheres are brought in contact with each other, the resultant charge will be evenly distributed on the spheres when they are finally separated.

charge on each sphere will be = \frac{Qa + Qb}{2}

charge on each sphere =  \frac{-6 + 2}{2} = \frac{-4}{2} = <em>-2 units of charge</em>

A 1.0 kilogram ball is thrown into the air with an initial velocity of 30m/s. How much kinetic energy does the ball have? (B) ho
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

450 joules ; 450 joules ; 45.9 m

Explanation:

Given that :

Initial Velocity, u = 30m/s

Mass, m = 1 kg

Kinetic Energy of ball (KE) = 0.5mu²

K. E = 0.5 * 1 * 30^2

K.E = 0.5 * 900

K.E = 450 Joules

B.) Potential Energy (P. E)

P. E = mgh

At the highest point, all kinetic energy has would have become potential energy, hence

K. E = P. E = 450 Joules

C) Height of the ball :

From ; P. E = mgh

Where ; g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s² ; h = height

450 = 1 * 9.8 * h

450 = 9.8h

h = 450 / 9.8

h = 45.918

h = 45.9 m
