Answer:

261 million km

Explanation:

Venus has an almost perfectly circular orbit with 0.007 eccentricity. Earth however has an elliptical orbit with 0.016 eccentricity. Distance of Earth from Venus at its farthest is 261 million km. So, the difference in the farthest and closest distance is very high almost 220 million km. At the farthest Venus is 108,939,000 km from the sun and 107,477,000 km at its closest from the Sun.

Answer:

162 million km

Explanation:

The nearest distance between Earth and Venus is 41 million kilometers. Whereas the Farthest distance between Earth and Venus is 162 million kilometers. The Venus is the hottest planet of the solar system. It is also called Evening and morning star, as it appears brightest in the sky in morning and Evening after moon.

What is the net charge (overall or sum of charges) of the nucleus and what number is it equal to?

polet [3.4K]

Because the nucleus is made up of positively charged protons and neutrally charged neutrons, and no negatively charged particles, the charge of the nucleus will always be equal to the sum of the charges of its protons. A simpler way to say it is because each proton has a +1 charge, the charge of the nucleus will be the same as the number of protons in it.

Many Amtrak trains can travel at a top speed of 42.0 m/s. Assuming a train maintains that speed for several hours, how many kilo

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

605 km

Explanation:

Hello

the same units of measure should be used, then

Step 1

convert 42 m/s ⇒ km/h

1 km =1000 m

1 h = 36000 sec

$42 \frac{m}{s}*\frac{1\ km}{1000\ m}=0.042\ \frac{km}{s}\\ 0.042\ \frac{km}{s}\\$

$0.042\ \frac{km}{s}*\frac{3600\ s}{1\ h} =151.2 \frac{km}{h}\\ \\Velocity =151.2\ \frac{km}{h}$

Step 2

find kilometers traveled after 4 hours

$V=\frac{s}{t}\\ \\$

V,velocity

s, distance traveled

t. time

now, isolating s

$V=\frac{s}{t} \\s=V * t\\$

and replacing

$s=V * t\\s=151.2\frac{km}{h}*4 hours\\ s=604.8 km\\$

S=604.8 Km

Have a great day

A 100-kg spacecraft is in a circular orbit about Earth at a height h = 2RE .

maria [59]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of the Gravitational Force and the centripetal force by equilibrium,

$F_g = F_c$

$\frac{GmM}{r^2} = \frac{mv^2}{r}$

Where,

m = Mass of spacecraft

M = Mass of Earth

r = Radius (Orbit)

G = Gravitational Universal Music

v = Velocity

Re-arrange to find the velocity

$\frac{GM}{r^2} = \frac{v^2}{r}$

$\frac{GM}{r} = v^2$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}$

PART A ) The radius of the spacecraft's orbit is 2 times the radius of the earth, that is, considering the center of the earth, the spacecraft is 3 times at that distance. Replacing then,

$v = \sqrt{\frac{(6.67*10^{-11})(5.97*10^{24})}{3*(6.371*10^6)}}$

$v = 4564.42m/s$

From the speed it is possible to use find the formula, so

$T = \frac{2\pi r}{v}$

$T = \frac{2\pi (6.371*10^6)}{4564.42}$

$T = 8770.05s\approx 146min\approx 2.4hour$

Therefore the orbital period of the spacecraft is 2 hours and 24 minutes.

PART B) To find the kinetic energy we simply apply the definition of kinetic energy on the ship, which is

$KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2$

$KE = \frac{1}{2} (100)(4564.42)^2$

$KE = 1.0416*10^9J$

Therefore the kinetic energy of the Spacecraft is 1.04 Gigajules.

What happens when you compress a gas?

8090 [49]

The density increases.
When gases are compressed, their volume decreases, and the resulting pressure increases. The temperature will change if either P or V are held constant. Since the volume decreases, then density, or m/V, increases.
P×V ~ T
