How do the orbits of the planets farthest from the sun compare to the orbits of the planets closest to the sun?

1 answer:

6 0

Closer orbit less distance to travel round shorter time taken for complete orbit. further orbit further to travel longer time for complete orbit

A polar bear runs at a speed of 11 m/s and has a mass of 380.2 kg. How much Kinetic energy does the bear have?

Yanka [14]

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf Kinetic \ energy \ of \ the \ bear (KE) = 23002.1 \ J}$

Given:

Mass of the polar bear (m) = 6.8 kg

Speed of the polar bear (v) = 5.0 m/s

To Find:

Kinetic energy of the polar bear (KE)

Explanation:

Formula:

$\boxed{ \bold{\sf KE = \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2} }}$

Substituting values of m & v in the equation:

$\sf \implies KE = \frac{1}{2} \times 380.2 \times {11}^{2}$

$\sf \implies KE = \frac{1}{ \cancel{2}} \times \cancel{2} \times 190.1 \times 121$

$\sf \implies KE = 190.1 \times 121$

$\sf \implies KE = 23002.1 \: J$

$\therefore$

Kinetic energy of the polar bear (KE) = 23002.1 J

What average force is needed to accelerate a 7.00-gram pellet from rest to 155 m/s over a distance of 0.600 m along the barrel o

leonid [27]

Answer: The force needed is 140.22 Newtons.

Explanation:

The key assumption in this problem is that the acceleration is constant along the path of the barrel bringing the pellet from velocity 0 to 155 m/s. This means the velocity is linearly increasing in time.

The force exerted on the pellet is

F = m a

In order to calculate the acceleration, given the displacement d,

$d = \frac{1}{2}at^2\implies a=\frac{2d}{t^2}$

we will need to determine the time t it took for the pellet to make the distance through the barrel of 0.6m. That time can be determined using the average velocity of the pellet while traveling through the barrel. Since the velocity is a linear function of time, as mentioned above, the average is easy to calculate as:

$\overline{v}=\frac{1}{2}(v_{end}-v_{start})=\frac{1}{2}(155-0)\frac{m}{s}=77.5\frac{m}{s}$
