A thermometer is placed directly sunlight will it read the temperature of the air or of the sun or of something else??

1 answer:

7 0

It will read the temperature of the atmosphere.It is unable to read the temperature of the sun because some of the heat energy from the sun is absorbed by the layer of air molecules on Earth.

Comets travel around the sun in elliptical orbits with large eccentricities. If a comet has speed 1.6×104 m/s when at a distance

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

v₂ = 7.6 x 10⁴ m/s

Explanation:

given,

speed of comet(v₁) = 1.6 x 10⁴ m/s

distance (d₁)= 2.7 x 10¹¹ m

to find the speed when he is at distance of(d₂) 4.8 × 10¹⁰ m

v₂ = ?

speed of planet can be determine using conservation of energy

K.E₁ + P.E₁ = K.E₂ + P.E₂

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv_1^2-\dfrac{GMm}{r_1} = \dfrac{1}{2}mv_2^2-\dfrac{GMm}{r_2}$

$\dfrac{1}{2}v_1^2-\dfrac{GM}{r_1} = \dfrac{1}{2}v_2^2-\dfrac{GM}{r_2}$

$v_2^2= v_1^2 + \dfrac{2GM}{r_2}-\dfrac{2GM}{r_1}$

$v_2= \sqrt{v_1^2 +2GM(\dfrac{1}{r_2}-\dfrac{1}{r_1})}$

$v_2= \sqrt{(1.6\times 10^4)^2 +2\times 6.67 \times 10^{-11}\times 1.99 \times 10^{30}(\dfrac{1}{4.8\times 10^{10}}-\dfrac{1}{2.7\times 10^{11}})}$

v₂ = 7.6 x 10⁴ m/s

A hockey player hits a rubber puck from one side of the rink to the other. It has a mass of .170 kg, and is hit at an initial sp

Dimas [21]

By using third law of equation of motion, the final velocity V of the rubber puck is 8.5 m/s

Given that a hockey player hits a rubber puck from one side of the rink to the other. The parameters given are:

mass m = 0.170 kg

initial speed u = 6 m/s.

Distance covered s = 61 m

To calculate how fast the puck is moving when it hits the far wall means we are to calculate final speed V

To do this, let us first calculate the kinetic energy at which the ball move.

K.E = 1/2m $U^{2}$

K.E = 1/2 x 0.17 x $6^{2}$

K.E = 3.06 J

The work done on the ball is equal to the kinetic energy. That is,

W = K.E

But work done = Force x distance

F x S = K.E

F x 61 = 3.06

F = 3.06/61

F = 0.05 N

From here, we can calculate the acceleration of the ball from Newton second law

F = ma

0.05 = 0.17a

a = 0.05/0.17

a = 0.3 m/ $s^{2}$

To calculate the final velocity, let us use third equation of motion.

$V^{2}$ = $U^{2}$ + 2as

$V^{2}$ = $6^{2}$ + 2 x 0.3 x 61

$V^{2}$ = 36 + 36

$V^{2}$ = 72

V = $\sqrt{72}$

V = 8.485 m/s

Therefore, the puck is moving at the rate of 8.5 m/s (approximately) when it hits the far wall.

According to the Declaration, when do people have a right to revolution?

babunello [35]

Locke said that under natural law, all people have the right to life, liberty, and private property; under the social contract, the people could instigate a revolution against the government when it acted against the interests of citizens, to replace the government with one that served the interests of citizens.

A straight segment of wire has a length of 25 cm and carries a current of 5A. If the wire is perpendicular to the magnetic field

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

The magnitude of the magnetic force acting on the conductor is 0.75 Newton

Explanation:

The parameters given in the question are;

The length of the straight segment of wire, L = 25 cm = 0.25 m

The current carried in the wire, I = 5 A

The orientation of the wire with the magnetic field = Perpendicular

The strength of the magnetic field in which the wire is located, B = 0.60 T

The magnetic force, 'F', is given by the following formula;

F = $\underset{I}{\rightarrow }$ ·L× $\underset{B}{\rightarrow }$ = I·L·B·sin(θ)

Where;

$\underset{I}{\rightarrow }$ = The current flowing, I

L = The length of the wire

$\underset{B}{\rightarrow }$ = The magnetic field strength, B

θ = The angle of inclination of the conductor to the magnetic field

Where I = 5 A, L = 0.25 m, B = 0.60 T, and θ = 90°, we get;

F = 5 A × 0.25 m × 0.60 T × sin(90°) = 0.75 N

Therefore

The magnitude of the magnetic force, F = 0.75 N.
