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.

Bales of hay of 40 lbf move up a conveyor set at 30° angle to the ground. If the hay bales are moving at 1.5 ft/sec, determine t
jekas [21]

Answer:

The power required to move each bale is 30 lbf.ft/sec.

Explanation:

F= 40lbf * sin (30º)

F=20lbf

P= F*v

P=20 lbf * 1.5 ft/sec

P= 30 lbf.ft/sec

1. At which location does the pendulum have the least gravitational potential energy? Why?
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:Point B

Explanation:When it is at the bottom of its swing (arm straight up and down). When it is at its lowest point, Gravity can not pull it down any further. This position also has the most kinetic energy because after it passes the bottom, it goes back up again and loses speed. so when the pendulum is at the bottom it is traveling the fastest it will go.

Work, Kinetic Energy and Potential Energy
6.1 The Important Stuff 6.1.1 Kinetic Energy
For an object with mass m and speed v, the kinetic energy is defined as K = 1mv2

(6.1)
Kinetic energy is a scalar (it has magnitude but no direction); it is always a positive number; and it has SI units of kg · m2/s2. This new combination of the basic SI units is
known as the joule:
As we will see, the joule is also the unit of work W and potential energy U. Other energy
1joule = 1J = 1 kg·m2 (6.2) s2
units often seen are:
6.1.2 Work
1erg=1g·cm2 =10−7J 1eV=1.60×10−19J s2
When an object moves while a force is being exerted on it, then work is being done on the object by the force.
If an object moves through a displacement d while a constant force F is acting on it, the force does an amount of work equal to
W =F·d=Fdcosφ (6.3)
where φ is the angle between d and F.

Two identical metal spheres a and b are connected by a plastic rod. both are initially neutral. 1.0×1012 electrons are added to
Ann [662]
The plastic rod is made of insulator (plastic), so it does not allow charges moving from one sphere to another. This means that all the electrons given to sphere A will remain on sphere A.

The number of electrons initially given to sphere A is N=1.0 \cdot 10^{12}, and since the charge of 1 electron is e=-1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C, the net charge left on sphere A after the removal of the rod will be
Q=N e = 1.0 \cdot 10^{12}(-1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C)=-1.6.0 \cdot 10^{-7} C
