What is the centripetal acceleration of the earth as it travels around the sun when Earth has an orbital radius of 1.5 x 10^11 m

and an average orbital speed of 29.7 km/s

Answer: $0.0058 m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration $a_{C}$ is calculated by the following equation:

$a_{C}=\frac{V^{2}}{r}$

Where:

$V=29.7 \frac{km}{h} \frac{1000 m}{1 km}=29700 m/s$ is the Earth's orbital speed

$r=1.5(10)^{11} m$ is the orbital radius

$a_{C}=\frac{(29700 m/s)^{2}}{1.5(10)^{11} m}$

$a_{C}=0.0058 m/s^{2}$

Which balances the equation Mg + O2 — MgO?

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

To balance an equation such as Mg + O2 → MgO, the number of the atoms in the product must equal the number of the atoms in the reactant. Mg + O2 --> MgO. To balance an equation, we CAN change coefficients, but NOT SUBSCRIPTS to balance equations.

A 10 gauge copper wire carries a current of 20 A. Assuming one free electron per copper atom, calculate the magnitude of the dri

nordsb [41]

Complete Question

A 10 gauge copper wire carries a current of 20 A. Assuming one free electron per copper atom, calculate the drift velocity of the electrons. (The cross-sectional area of a 10-gauge wire is 5.261 mm2.) mm/s

Answer:

The drift velocity is $v = 0.0002808 \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The current on the copper is $I = 20 \ A$

The cross-sectional area is $A = 5.261 \ mm^2 = 5.261 *10^{-6} \ m^2$

The number of copper atom in the wire is mathematically evaluated

$n = \frac{\rho * N_a}Z}$

Where $\rho$ is the density of copper with a value $\rho = 8.93 \ g/m^3$

$N_a$ is the Avogadro's number with a value $N_a = 6.02 *10^{23}\ atom/mol$

Z is the molar mass of copper with a value $Z = 63.55 \ g/mol$

So

$n = \frac{8.93 * 6.02 *10^{23}}{63.55}$

$n = 8.46 * 10^{28} \ atoms /m^3$

Given the 1 atom is equivalent to 1 free electron then the number of free electron is

$N = 8.46 * 10^{28} \ electrons$

The current through the wire is mathematically represented as

$I = N * e * v * A$

substituting values

$20 = 8.46 *10^{28} * (1.60*10^{-19}) * v * 5.261 *10^{-6}$

=> $v = 0.0002808 \ m/s$

Holding onto a tow rope moving parallel to a frictionless ski slope, a 70.1 kg skier is pulled up the slope, which is at an angl

lara [203]

Answer:

given,

mass of the skier = 70.1 Kg

angle with horizontal, θ = 8.6°

magnitude of the force,F = ?

a) Applying newton's second law

$m g sin\theta - F_{rope} = ma$

velocity is constant, a = 0

$m g sin\theta - F_{rope} =0$

$F_{rope} = m g sin\theta$

$F_{rope} = 70.1\times 9.8\times sin 8.6^0$

$F_{rope}= 102.73\ N$

b) now, when acceleration, a = 0.135 m/s²

$F_{rope}-m g sin\theta = ma$

velocity is constant, a = 0.135 m/s₂

$F_{rope} = m g sin\theta+ma$

$F_{rope} = 70.1\times 9.8\times sin 8.6^0+70.1\times 0.135$

$F_{rope}= 112.19\ N$
