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.

As a bat flies toward a wall at a speed of 6.0 m/s, the bat emits an ultrasonic sound wave with frequency 30.0 kHz. What frequen
Leto [7]

Answer:

f_b = 29.98 Hz

Explanation:

speed of bat = 6 m/s

sound wave frequency emitted by bat = 30.0 kHz

as we know,

speed of sound (c)= 343 m/s

f_w = f(\dfrac{c+v_r}{c+v_s})

f_w = 30(\dfrac{343+0}{343+6})

f_w = 29.48 Hz

now frequency received by bat is equal to  

f_b = f(\dfrac{c+v_r}{c+v_s})

f_b = 29.48(\dfrac{343+6}{343+0})

f_b = 29.98 Hz

hence the frequency hear by bat will be 29.98 Hz

In 11.8 s, 151 bullets strike and embed themselves in a wall. The bullets strike the wall perpendicularly. Each bullet has a mas
Aneli [31]

Answer:

a. ΔP/Δt =  42.6 N

b. F = 42.6 N

c. P = 142042.4 Pa = 1.42 KPa

Explanation:

a.

First, we find the change in momentum of the bullets. For one bullet:

ΔP = m(Vf - Vi)

where,

ΔP = Change in Momentum = ?

m = mass of bullet = 5 x 10⁻³ kg

Vf = Final Speed = 1110 m/s

Vi = Initial Speed = 0 m/s (Since bullets are initially at rest)

Therefore,

ΔP = (3 x 10⁻³ kg)(1110 m/s - 0 m/s)

ΔP = 3.33 N.s

For 151 bullets:

ΔP = (151)(3.33 N.s)

ΔP = 502.83 N.s

Now, dividing this by time interval, Δt = 11.8 s

ΔP/Δt = 502.83 N.s/ 11.8 s

<u>ΔP/Δt =  42.6 N</u>

<u></u>

b.

According to Newton's Second Law, the force is equal to rate of change of linear momentum:

Average Force = F = ΔP/Δt

<u>F = 42.6 N</u>

<u></u>

c.

The pressure is given by:

Average Pressure = P = Average Force/Area

P = 42.6 N/ 3 x 10⁻⁴ m²

<u>P = 142042.4 Pa = 1.42 KPa</u>

Explain how valence electrons can result in the<br> creation of ions.
Brums [2.3K]
So as you may know atoms are neutral because the number of protons (+ charge) and the number of electrons( - charge) are the same so they cancel out. When a valence electron leaves an atom it will have a +1 charge because there is one less negative than positives or there is one more positive than negatives since a negative electron left. If a valence electron is added a -1 charge because there is now one more negative than positive!!!
hope that helps!!

A boat is traveling with a velocity of 18 meters/second relative to water and the river is flowing at a velocity of 2.5 meters/s
ddd [48]
Vt = Vboat - Vriver 
Vt = 18 - 2.5 = 15.5 m/s 

If the boat's direction is the same as the water, you sum the velocities of the river and the boat .
