The comet has no net force acting on it, which results in constant velocity. Near our solar system, the influence of the gravitational forces due to the sun and the planets will increase as we know that gravitational force is:
F = GMm/r²
The net force will produce an acceleration on the comet, which will cause its velocity to change.
The equation for Kinetic Energy is KE = 1/2 m v^2, where m is the mass, and v is the velocity. The velocity in this equation is squared, which means that it is exponential. That means that as the velocity increases, you will be multiplying by a bigger and bigger number! KE = 18 joules!
Ocean waves propagate through the medium called 'sea water'.
Answer:
45200J
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Heat of vaporization of water = 2260J/g
Mass of steam = 20g
Temperature = 100°C
Unknown:
Energy released during the condensation = ?
Solution:
This change is a phase change and there is no change in temperature
To find the amount of heat released;
H = mL
m is the mass
L is the latent heat of vaporization
Insert the parameters and solve;
H = 20g x 2260J/g
H = 45200J
