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.

A bullet with a mass of 0.3 kg is fired out of a gun with a mass of 4 kg at 600 m/s. What is the recoil velocity on the gun?
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

According to the Conservation of Momentum,

Momentum of the gun = momentum of the bullet

M(gun)×V(gun)=m(bullet)×v(bullet)

4kg × V = 0.3kg × 600m/s²

V = (0.3 × 600)/4 = 45 m/s

The recoil velocity on the gun is <em><u>45 m/s</u></em>

<h3><u>45 m/s</u> is the right answer.</h3>

Una pelota recorre 20 m hacia la derecha y luego 10 m hacia la izquierda, todo en un lapso de tiempo de 10 s , cual es si veloci
zvonat [6]

Answer:

v = 1  i ^ m / s,   v = 1 m / s

Explanation:

In this problem we show the difference between vectors and scalars.

The average speed is

          v = Δx / Δt

The bold are vectors            

          Δx = 20-10 = 10 i^  m

           v = 10/10

           v = 1  i ^ m / s

the unit vector indicates that the velocity is on the x-axis

The average speed is

           v =Δx / Δt

           v = 10/10

           v = 1 m / s

in this case we have a scalar

The starter motor of a car engine draws a current of 140A from the battery. The copper wire to the motor runs for 0.90s until th
nasty-shy [4]
"1 Ampere" (A) means "1 coulomb of charge per second"

140 A means 140 coulombs per second

(140 coulomb/sec) x (0.9 sec)  =  126 coulombs of charge.


Go a little farther:

Electrons are the things that move through wire carrying charge.

6.25 x 10¹⁸ electrons carry 1 coulomb of charge. 

126 coulombs = 787,500,000,000,000,000,000 electrons (rounded)

A 15W fluorescent light bulb uses operates for 30 minutes and produces 20kJ of light energy, what is the percent efficiency of t
svlad2 [7]

Given that ;

Energy (work ) Produced by bulb =20 KJ = 20000 J

Input power = 15 KW

Output power given by the bulb  = Rate of doing work

                                                   = Work ÷ time

                                                   = 20000 ÷ 1800   <em>(since 1 min = 60 seconds)</em>

                                                   = 11.11 W

Noe, efficiency is the ratio of output power to input power

                                                   η = output power ÷ input power

                                                      = 11.11 ÷ 15

                                                      = 0.74

                                                      = 74%

<em>Efficiency of light bulb is 74%</em>

<em>If you liked the procedure, please give me brainliest</em>
