Suppose two comets, comet A and comet B, were orbiting the Sun, having the same average orbital radii. If comet A had a higher e

ccentricity than comet B, which comet would, during some portion of its orbit, have the highest orbital speed?

Answer:

Explanation:

It is given that comet A has higher eccentricity than comet B and according to Kepler law planet orbit around the sun with the sun as the focus.

An implication of Kepler's law is that the planet moves faster when it close to the sun and slower when distant. This is the result of the conservation of angular momentum.

A has a more elliptical path thus it will be closer to the sun and therefore A will have the highest orbital speed.

If the sun were to vanish instantly would earth immediately fly out of its orbit explain why or why not
Zanzabum
<span>Answer: No, because Einstein demonstrated that nothing can exceed the speed of light in a vacuum and for something to happen instantly over that distance would require that speed to be exceeded. If somehow the sun were to vanish, without explosive effects, an enormous gravity wave would begin travelling outward affecting the planets at the speed of light - thus taking about 8 minutes to reach earth. But that is irrelevant because the only way to remove all that matter would be total conversion of the mass to energy and that energy would totally destroy everything - after the same 8 minutes.

A 26.0 kg child plays on a swing having support ropes that are 2.40 m long. A friend pulls her back until the ropes are 45.0 ∘ f
Sloan [31]
A)Ep'=mgh=mgl(1-cosa).At the bottom of the swing Ep=0(reference level),so the potential energy as the child is just released is bigger than the potential energy at the bottom of the swing.;B)The speed of the child at the bottom of the swing-->v=√(2gh)=√[2gl(1-cosa)];C)I don't think that the tension does any work.

An unknown material has a mass
atroni [7]

Answer: 1896.55J/kg°C

Explanation:

The quantity of Heat Energy (Q) required to heat a material depends on its Mass (M), specific heat capacity (C) and change in temperature (Φ)

Thus, Q = MCΦ

Since,

Q = 1320 joules

Mass of material = 5.61kg

C = ? (let unknown value be Z)

Φ = 0.124°C

Then, Q = MCΦ

1320J = 5.61kg x Z x 0.124°C

1320J = 0.696kg°C x Z

Z = (1320J / 0.696kg°C)

Z = 1896.55 J/kg°C

Thus, the specific heat of the material is 1896.55J/kg°C

For the following elementary reaction 2br• -&gt; br2-. The rate of consumption of the reaction and the rate of formation of prod
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer: -\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{d[Br^.]}{dt}=+\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}

Explanation:

Rate of a reaction is defined as the rate of change of concentration per unit time.

Thus for reaction:

2Br^.\rightarrow Br_2

The rate in terms of reactants is given as negative as the concentration of reactants is decreasing with time whereas the rate in terms of products is given as positive as the concentration of products is increasing with time.

Rate=-\frac{d[Br^.]}{2dt}

or Rate=+\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}

Thus -\frac{d[Br^.]}{2dt}=+\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}
