Why is the sun considered the center of the solar system

1 answer:

4 0

The sun is by far the largest object in solar system.containing99.8 percent of the solar system's mass.it shed most of the heat and light that makes life possible on earth and possibly elsewhere.planets orbit the sun in oval-shaped paths called ellipses,with the sun slightly off center of each ellipse

Identify the direction (from high to low, from low to high) that heat is normally transferred and give an example. (WILL GIVE BR

Natasha2012 [34]

Heat normally travels from areas of higher heat to areas of lower heat. For example, if you were to be in a classroom and all the windows and doors were closed, and then you opened a door, then the reason why the room becomes cooler is not because cold air comes inside the room. However, it is because when you open the door, the heat from the classroom you're in escapes the room. This is why it feels cooler when you open a door, or even a window. Heat is traveling from areas of higher heat to areas of lower heat.

The momentum of an electron is 1.75 times larger than the value computed non-relativistically. What is the speed of the electron

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

Speed of the electron is 2.46 x 10^8 m/s

Explanation:

momentum of the electron before relativistic effect = $M_{0} V$

where $M_{0}$ is the rest mass of the electron

V is the velocity of the electron.

under relativistic effect, the mass increases.

under relativistic effect, the new mass M will be

M = $M_{0}/ \sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2} }$

where

$\beta = V/c$

c is the speed of light = 3 x 10^8 m/s

V is the speed with which the electron travels.

The new momentum will therefore be

==> $M_{0}V/ \sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2} }$

It is stated that the relativistic momentum is 1.75 times the non-relativistic momentum. Equating, we have

1.75 $M_{0} V$ = $M_{0}V/ \sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2} }$

the equation reduces to

1.75 = $1/ \sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2} }$

square both sides of the equation, we have

3.0625 = 1/ $(1 - \beta ^{2} )$

3.0625 - 3.0625 $\beta ^{2}$ = 1

2.0625 = 3.0625 $\beta ^{2}$

$\beta ^{2}$ = 0.67

β = 0.819

substitute for $\beta = V/c$

V/c = 0.819

V = c x 0.819

V = 3 x 10^8 x 0.819 = 2.46 x 10^8 m/s

An object accelerates from rest to 85m/s over a distance of 36m. What acceleration did it experience?

Marizza181 [45]

Suvat
we have s, u, v and we want a
the suvat equation with these values in is: v^2 = u^2 - 2as
so a = (-v^2 + u^2)/-2s
plug numbers in
a = (-85^2 + 0^2)/-2*36 = 7225/72 = 100.3... ms^-2
