PART a)
As we know that gravitational potential energy is given by the formula
here we can see that gravitational potential energy inversely varies with the distance
so here when distance from the sun is minimum then magnitude of gravitational potential energy is maximum while since it is given with negative sign so its overall value is minimum at that position
So gravitational potential energy is minimum at the nearest point and maximum at the farthest point
PART b)
Since we know that sum of kinetic energy and potential energy is constant here
so the points of minimum potential energy is the point where kinetic energy is maximum which means speed is maximum
So here speed is maximum at the nearest point
Part C)
since gravitational potential energy inversely varies with distance so it's graph will be like hyperbolic graph with distance
Answer: Enceladus
Explanation:
Enceladus is a small, icy body with an undergound ocean beneath its crust. Cassini discovered that geyser-like jets spew water vapor and ice particles. It is also the sixth largest moon in Saturn and just about a tenth of the largest moon in Saturn; Titan. It is often regarded as one of the most reflective body in the solar system as a result of its icy surface.
Answer: The function of a plant's flower is reproduce. Since the flowers are the reproductive organs of plant, they mediate the joining of the sperm, contained within pollen, to the ovules contained in the ovary.
Explanation:
Answer:
47.4 m
Explanation:
When an object is thrown upward, it rises up, it reaches its maximum height, and then it goes down. The time at which it reaches its maximum height is half the total time of flight.
In this case, the time of flight is 6.22 s, so the time the ball takes to reach the maximum height is
Now we consider only the downward motion of the ball: it is a free fall motion, so we can find the vertical displacement by using the suvat equation
where
s is the vertical displacement
u = 0 is the initial velocity
t = 3.11 s is the time
is the acceleration of gravity (taking downward as positive direction)
Solving the formula, we find
Answer:
The earth's gravitational force on the sun is equal to the sun's gravitational force on the earth
Explanation:
Newton's third law (law of action-reaction) states that:
"When an object A exerts a force (called action) on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force (called reaction) on object A"
In other words, when two objects exert a force on each other, then the magnitude of the two forces is the same (while the directions are opposite).
In this problem, we can call the Sun as "object A" and the Earth as "object B". According to Newton's third law, therefore, we can say that the gravitational force that the Earth exerts on the Sun is equal (in magnitude, and opposite in direction) to the gravitational force that the Sun exerts on the Earth.
