Mashcka [7]4 years ago

Answer:

1. the electromagnetic wave.

Explanation:

Mathematically,

wavelength = velocity ÷ frequency

A mechanical wave is a wave that is not capable of transmitting its energy through a vacuum. Mechanical waves require a medium in order to transport their energy from one location to another. A sound wave is an example of a mechanical wave. Sound waves are incapable of traveling through a vacuum.

Electromagnetic waves of different frequency are called by different names since they have different sources and effects on matter, increasing frequency decreases wavelength.

Sound waves (which obviously travel at the speed of sound) are much slower than electromagnetic waves (which travel at the speed of light.)  

Electromagnetic waves are much faster than sound waves and If the Velocity of the wave increases and the frequency is constant, the wavelength also increases.

The maximum distance from the Earth to the Sun (at aphelion) is 1.521 1011 m, and the distance of closest approach (at perihelio
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

29274.93096 m/s

2.73966\times 10^{33}\ J

-5.39323\times 10^{33}\ J

2.56249\times 10^{33}\ J

-5.21594\times 10^{33}

Explanation:

r_p = Distance at perihelion = 1.471\times 10^{11}\ m

r_a = Distance at aphelion = 1.521\times 10^{11}\ m

v_p = Velocity at perihelion = 3.027\times 10^{4}\ m/s

v_a = Velocity at aphelion

m = Mass of the Earth =  5.98 × 10²⁴ kg

M = Mass of Sun = 1.9889\times 10^{30}\ kg

Here, the angular momentum is conserved

L_p=L_a\\\Rightarrow r_pv_p=r_av_a\\\Rightarrow v_a=\frac{r_pv_p}{r_a}\\\Rightarrow v_a=\frac{1.471\times 10^{11}\times 3.027\times 10^{4}}{1.521\times 10^{11}}\\\Rightarrow v_a=29274.93096\ m/s

Earth's orbital speed at aphelion is 29274.93096 m/s

Kinetic energy is given by

K=\frac{1}{2}mv_p^2\\\Rightarrow K=\frac{1}{2}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}(3.027\times 10^{4})^2\\\Rightarrow K=2.73966\times 10^{33}\ J

Kinetic energy at perihelion is 2.73966\times 10^{33}\ J

Potential energy is given by

P=-\frac{GMm}{r_p}\\\Rightarrow P=-\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}}{1.471\times  10^{11}}\\\Rightarrow P=-5.39323\times 10^{33}

Potential energy at perihelion is -5.39323\times 10^{33}\ J

K=\frac{1}{2}mv_a^2\\\Rightarrow K=\frac{1}{2}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}(29274.93096)^2\\\Rightarrow K=2.56249\times 10^{33}\ J

Kinetic energy at aphelion is 2.56249\times 10^{33}\ J

Potential energy is given by

P=-\frac{GMm}{r_a}\\\Rightarrow P=-\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}}{1.521\times 10^{11}}\\\Rightarrow P=-5.21594\times 10^{33}

Potential energy at aphelion is -5.21594\times 10^{33}\ J

What effect or effects would be most significant if the Moon's orbital plane were exactly the same as the ecliptic plane?
Lilit [14]

Answer:

c. Solar eclipses would be much more frequent.

Explanation:

The <u>ecliptic plane</u> is the apparent orbit that the sun describes around the earth (although it is the earth that orbits the sun), is the path the sun follows in earth's sky.

A <u>solar eclipse</u> occurs when the moon gets between the earth and the sun, so a shadow is cast on the earth because the light from the sun is blocked.

The reason why solar eclipses are not very frequent is because the moon's orbital plane is not in the same plane as the orbit of the earth around the sun, but rather that it is somewhat inclined with respect to it.

So <u>if both orbits were aligned, the moon would interpose between the sun and the earth more frequently, producing more solar eclipses.</u>

So, if the moon's orbital plane were exacly the same as the ecliptic plane solar eclipses would be more frequent.

the answer is: c.

two resistors of resistance 6 ohm and 3 ohm are connected in series and then in parallel .calculate the equivalent series resist
Novosadov [1.4K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Two resistors of resistance 6 ohm and 3 ohm are connected in series and then in parallel.

For series combination,

R_{eq}=R_1+R_2

For parallel combination,

\dfrac{1}{R_{eq}}=\dfrac{1}{R_1}+\dfrac{1}{R_2}

When 6 ohm and 3 ohm are in series,

R_s=6+3\\\\R_s=9\ \Omega

When 6 ohm and 3 ohm are in paralle,

\dfrac{1}{R_p}=\dfrac{1}{6}+\dfrac{1}{3}\\\\R_p=2\ \Omega

So, the equivalent resistance in series combination is 9 ohms and in parallel combination it is 2 ohms.

Why does a projectile fired along a horizontal not follow a straight path?​
Stella [2.4K]

Answer: A projectile which is fired horizontally is being constantly acted upon by acceleration due to gravity, acting vertically downwards. Hence, it does not follow a straight line path. Also Why a projectile fixed along the horizontal not follow a straight line path? Because the projectile fired horizontally is constantly acts upon by acceleration due to gravity acting vertically downwards.

Explanation:

Hope this helped :)
