Calculate the earth's average speed relative to the sun.

Physics
1 answer:
Elena-2011 [213]3 years ago
4 0

a).  The Earth travels around the sun in a path that's nearly a circle, with a radius of roughly 93 million miles.

The circumference of the circle is (2 · π · radius) = about  5.843 x 10⁸  miles.

Average Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

The time to cover the distance is 1 year.

Speed = (5.843 x 10⁸ mile/year) (year / 365 day) (day / 24 hour)

Speed = (5.843 x 10⁸ / 365·24) (mile · year · day / year · day · hour)

Average speed = 66,705 miles/hour .

b). The Earth's average velocity over a period of 1 year is zero.

Velocity = (displacement) / (time)

Displacement = (distance and direction between start-point and end-point). After one year, the Earth is located at the point where it started, so its displacement over the period of 1 year is zero.

What is the significance of the nose end marking on a rocket or missile?
Gemiola [76]
If you're referring to the different colors that usually occur at the tip of missles, rockets and some other aircraft, it either a) signifies the end of a particular plate of metal, fabricated specifically to be for the nose. Sometimes these can even be a different alloy or metal all together. or b) this shows where the curved surface begins, so in the case of damage or imperfections due to wear, they can be repaired and measured more easily. The shape of the nose is extremely important for smooth flight, and a dent or bump formed on it can make the aircraft unstable. If you can measure from where the curve starts by the difference in color, it makes repairing or re-fabricating the part much easier. Many of these curves aren't as simple as they appear.

Light bulb is connected to a 110-V source. What is the resistance of this bulb if it is a 100-W bulb
masya89 [10]

Answer:

<h2>121ohms</h2>

Explanation:

Formula used for calculating power P = current * voltage

P = IV

From ohms law, V = IR where R is the resistance. Substituting V = IR into the formula for calculating power, we will have;

P = IV

P =(V/R)V

P = V²/R

Given parameters

Power rating of the bulb P = 100 Watts

Source voltage V = 110V

Required

Resistance of the bulb R

Substituting the given parameters into the formula for calculating power to get Resistance R;

P = V²/R

100 = 110²/R

R = 110²/100

R = 110 * 110/100

R = 12100/100

R = 121 ohms

<em>Hence, the resistance of this bulb is 121 ohms</em>

Which type of energy is stored in a capacitor? electric potential energy chemical energy gravitational energy heat energy
Tom [10]

Energy stored in a capacitor is Electric Potential Energy. Capacitor is device used for storing energy. The work done to charge is a capacitor is stored in it in the form of Electrical potential energy. Electrical potential energy is defined as capacity to do work due to the position change. For example, we know fans have capacitor installed in it. When we turn off the fan, it continue moving using the electrical energy stored in the capacitor.
