Answer:

A. A line can be drawn from the planet to the sun that sweeps out equal areas in equal times

Explanation:

This is exactly what Kepler's second law of planetary motion states:

"the segment joining the sun with the center of each planet sweeps out equal areas in equal time"

This law basically tells how the speed of a planet orbiting the sun changes during its revolution. In fact, we have that:

- when a planet is closer to the Sun, it will orbit faster

- when a planet is farther from the Sun, it will orbit slower

A water wave has a frequency of 2 Hertz and a wavelength of 5 cm. Calculate it speed
Llana [10]

Answer: 0.1 m/s

Explanation:

Use formula,

v = f * w where, v is speed, f is frequency and w is wavelength.

Now,

v = 2 * 5 * 10 ^ -2 ( Remember to convert all the units to SI units. Here 5 cm becomes 5 * 10 ^ -2 m. )

v = 0.1 m/s.

The stoplights on a street are designed to keep traffic moving at 26 mi/h. the average length of a street block between traffic ligh
bonufazy [111]

We use the formula,

v = \frac{d}{t}.

Here, v is velocity and its value given 26 mi/h ( in m/s,  \frac{26 \times 1.609 \times 10^{3} m}{60 \times 60 s} =11.62 \ m/s ) and d is distance and its value is given 80 m.

Substituting these values in above formula we get,

t = \frac{80 m}{11.62m/s } = 6.88 \ s

Thus, the time delay between green lights on successive blocks to keep the traffic moving continuously is 6.88 s

A semicircular plate with radius 6 m is submerged vertically in water so that the top is 2 m above the surface. Express the hydr
dalvyx [7]

Answer: 313920

Explanation:First, we’re going to assume that the top of the circular plate surface is 2 meters under the water. Next, we will set up the axis system so that the origin of the axis system is at the center of the plate.

Finally, we will again split up the plate into n horizontal strips each of width Δy and we’ll choose a point y∗ from each strip. Attached to this is a sketch of the set up.

The water’s surface is shown at the top of the sketch. Below the water’s surface is the circular plate and a standard xy-axis system is superimposed on the circle with the center of the circle at the origin of the axis system. It is shown that the distance from the water’s surface and the top of the plate is 6 meters and the distance from the water’s surface to the x-axis (and hence the center of the plate) is 8 meters.

The depth below the water surface of each strip is,

di = 8 − yi

and that in turn gives us the pressure on the strip,

Pi =ρgdi = 9810 (8−yi)

The area of each strip is,

Ai = 2√4− (yi) 2Δy

The hydrostatic force on each strip is,

Fi = Pi Ai=9810 (8−yi) (2) √4−(yi)² Δy

The total force on the plate is found on the attached image.

A car is accelerated from 40 m/s to 48 m/s in 6.5 seconds. What is the magnitude of the car’s
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

AVerage acceleration is the cjange in velocity with time

a = v-u/t

v is the final velocity = 48m/s

u is the initial velocity = 40m/s

t is the time = 6.5s

a = 48-40/6.5

a = 8/6.5

a = 1.23m/s²

Hence the magnitude of the car’s  average acceleration during this period is 1.23m/s²
