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.

A beetle with a mass of 15.0 g is initially at rest on the outer edge of a horizontal turntable that is also initially at rest.
vichka [17]

Answer:

- 8.33 x 10⁻³ rad /s ( anticlockwise)

Explanation:

The rotational movement of beetle and turntable is caused by torque generated by internal forces , we can apply conservation of  angular momentum.

That is ,

I₁ ω₁ = I₂ω₂ ,   ω₁ and ω₂ are angular velocity of beetle and turntable respectively.

ω₁ + ω₂ = .05 radian /s ( given )

Momentum of inertia of beetle I₁ = mass x (distance from axis)²

= 15 x 10⁻³ x R² ( R is radius of the turntable )

Momentum of inertia of turntable  I₂ =1/2 mass x (distance from axis)²

= 75/2 x 10⁻³ x R² ( R is radius of the turntable )

I₁ ω₁ = I₂ω₂ ,

15 x 10⁻³ x R² x ( .05 -  ω₂ ) = 75/2 x 10⁻³ x R² ω₂

15 x  ( .05 -  ω₂ ) = 75/2 x  ω₂

.75 - 15ω₂ = 37.5ω₂

.75 = 52.5  ω₂

ω₂ = - 14.3  x 10⁻³ rad /s ( anticlockwise)

If a sound increases 5 dB, the sound becomes _______ times louder.
viva [34]
Well, I'll try to write the formula in a way that's not confusing,
but I'm afraid it might be slightly confusing anyway.

When you're working with dB, the basic rule is

       A change of 10 dB means either multiplying or dividing by 10 .

     Multiply something by 10  ==>  it increases by 10 dB.
     Divide something by 10   ==>  it decreases by 10 dB.

It turns out that another way to write all of this is . . .

     An increase of 10 dB ===> multiply the original amount by 10¹ 
     An increase of 20 dB ===> multiply the original amount by 10²
     An increase of, say, 7 dB ===> multiply the original amount by 10⁰·⁷

     A decrease of 10 dB ===> multiply the original amount by 10⁻¹
     A decrease of 30 dB ===> multiply the original amount by 10⁻³
     A decrease of, say, 13 dB ===> multiply the original amount by 10⁻¹·³

This question says:  The sound increases by  5 dB .

That means the original 'intensity' or 'power' of the sound
is multiplied by
                           10⁰·⁵  =  √10  =  about 3.162 (rounded) . 

From the choices listed, the closest one is  (c).
