Answer:

2100 J

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Force acting on the object, F = 420 N

Distance moved by object, d = 5m

The change in kinetic energy of an object is equal to the work done by a force acting on the object:

W = F * d

∆KE = F * d

∆KE = 420 * 5

∆KE = 2100 J

Answer:

∆KE = 2100 J

Explanation:

Given:

Force of person pushes against the wagon=  F = 420 N

Distance = d = 5.0 m

When you accelerate an object, you are doing work against inertia. It is proven that work equals the change in kinetic energy of the object.

therefore, W = ΔKE

where,

W is the work done against the resistance of inertia

ΔKE is the change in kinetic energy (Δ is Greek letter capital delta)

Also, W = F x d

∴∆KE = F x d

∆KE = 420 x 5

∆KE = 2100 J

The change in kinetic energy for the wagon is 2100 J

What do comets and asteroids have in common? Check all that apply.
Sidana [21]

Answer:

- They are orbiting the Sun

- They are small compared to the planets

Explanation:

- Comets are small bodies made of rock and ice that have a highly elliptical orbit, and that warm when they pass close to the Sun, releasing gas due to the sublimation of the ice, producing a characteristic "tail" that can extend even for hundreds of kilometers. They are generally located outside the Solar System, in the Oort cloud.

- Asteroids are irregular bodies whose size range from a few km to even a few hundreds of km, that orbit the Sun in an area of the Solar System located between Mars and Jupiter, called "Asteroid belt". They are made mainly of rock and metal debris

So now we  can analyze the statements given:

- They are made of ice: FALSE, because this is only valid for comets

- They are orbiting the Sun: TRUE for both  comets and asteroids

- They are made of metal debris: FALSE, this is only valid for asteroids

- They are small compared to the planets: TRUE for both (the biggest asteroid, Ceres, has a radius of approx 500 km, much smaller than the smallest planet, Mercury)

- They are at the center of the solar system: FALSE for both

If a true heading of 135° results in a ground track of 130° and a true airspeed of 135 knots results in a groundspeed of 140 kno
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

245.1° and 13 knots

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The true heading = 135°

The resultant ground track = 130°

The true airspeed = 135 knots

The ground speed = 140 knots

Given that the true airspeed the ground speed and the wind direction and magnitude form a triangle, we have;

From cosine rule, we have;

a² = b² + c² - 2×b×c×cos(A)

Where

a = The magnitude of the wind speed in knot

b = The true airspeed = 135 knots

c = The ground speed = 140 knots

A = The angle in between the true heading and the resultant ground track heading = 5°

Which gives;

a² = 135² + 140² - 2×135×140×cos(5 degrees) = 168.84 knots²

a = √168.84 = 12.9934 ≈ 13 knots

We have;

135 × sin(135 degrees) - 140× sin(130 degrees) = -11.7868

135 × cos(135 degrees) - 140× cos(130 degrees) = -5.469

Tan(θ) = -11.8/-5.5 = 2.155

θ = tan⁻¹(2.155) = 65.108°

Given that the wind is moving in opposite direction (slowing down the airplane, we add 180°, to get

Therefore, the angle direction = 180 + 65.108 = 245.1

Therefore, we have;

245.1° and 13 knots

Listed following are the names and mirror diameters for six of the world’s greatest reflecting telescopes used to gather visible
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Large binocular telescope, Keck 1 telescope, Hobby-Ebberly telescope, Subaru telescope, Gemini North telescope, Magellan 2 telescope

Explanation:

How much light a telescope can collect depends on its diameter, since in a bigger area more photons will be collected.    

Remember that in a circle the area is defined as:

A = \pi r^{2}  (1)

Where A is the area and r is its radius.

However, the radius can be determined by means of its diameter.

     

d = 2r

r = \frac{d}{2} (1)

Where d is its diameter.

An example of this is when a person is collecting raindrops with a bucket and with a cup. Since the bucket has a bigger area than the cup, it will collect more raindrops by unit of time. In this scenario the raindrops represent the photons.  

   

To determine the light collecting area of each telescope, equation 2 will be replaced in equation 1.

A = \pi (\frac{d}{2})^{2}  (3)

Case for Large binocular telescope:

A_{mirror1} = \pi (\frac{8.4m}{2})^{2}    

A_{mirror1} = 55.41m        

For the second mirror will be the same value

A = A_{mirror1}+A_{mirror2}  

A = 55.41m+55.41m

A= 110.82m

Case for Keck 1 telescope:

A = \pi (\frac{10m}{2})^{2}    

A = 78.53m  

Case for Hobby-Ebberly telescope:

A = \pi (\frac{9.2m}{2})^{2}    

A = 66.47m  

Case for Subaru telescope:

A = \pi (\frac{8.3m}{2})^{2}    

A = 54.10m  

Case for Gemini North telescope:

A = \pi (\frac{8m}{2})^{2}    

A = 50.26m  

Case for Magellan 2 telescope:

A = \pi (\frac{6.5m}{2})^{2}    

A = 33.18m  

Hence, they may be rank in the following way:

Large binocular telescope, Keck 1 telescope, Hobby-Ebberly telescope, Subaru telescope, Gemini North telescope, Magellan 2 telescope.

<em>Photons: particles that constitute light. </em>
