Answer:

613373.65233 m/s

Explanation:

M = Mass of Sun = 1.989\times 10^{30}\ kg

m = Mass of Earth

v = Velocity of Earth

r = Distance between Earth and Sun = 147.12\times 10^{9}\ m

r_e = Radius of Earth = 6.371\times 10^6\ m

r_s = Radius of Sun = 695.51\times 10^6\ m

In this system it is assumed that the potential and kinetic energies are conserved

\dfrac{1}{2}Mv_2-\dfrac{GMm}{r_e+r_s}=0-\dfrac{GMm}{r}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2GM(\dfrac{1}{r_e+r_s}-\dfrac{1}{r})}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}(\dfrac{1}{6.371\times 10^6+695.51\times 10^6}-\dfrac{1}{147.12\times 10^{9}})}\\\Rightarrow v=613373.65233\ m/s

The velocity of Earth would be 613373.65233 m/s

The gauge pressure at the bottom of a cylinder of liquid is 0.30atm. The liquid is poured into another cylinder with twice the r
likoan [24]

Answer:

P_g' = 0.075 atm

Explanation:

Gauge pressure at the bottom of the cylinder depends on the height of water in the cylinder

So here we can say that

P_g = \rho g h

now when liquid is filled to height "h" in base area "A" then gauge pressure of the liquid at the bottom is given as

P_g = 0.30 atm

now we put the whole liquid into another cylinder with twice radius of the first cylinder

So area becomes 4 times

now by volume conservation we can say that if area is increased by 4 times then height of liquid will decrease by 4 times

so we have

h' = \frac{h}{4}

so gauge pressure is given as

P_g' = \frac{0.30}{4} = 0.075 atm

H. A truck starts to move from rest. If it gains the acceleration of 3 m/s2 in 5 sec,
SashulF [63]

Answer:

1. The final velocity of the truck is 15 m/s

2. The distance travelled by the truck is 37.5 m

Explanation:

1. Determination of the final velocity

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Acceleration (a) = 3 m/s²

Time (t) = 5 s

Final velocity (v) =?

The final velocity of the truck can be obtained as follow:

v = u + at

v = 0 + (3 × 5)

v = 0 + 15

v = 15 m/s

Therefore, the final velocity of the truck is 15 m/s

2. Determination of the distance travelled

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Acceleration (a) = 3 m/s²

Time (t) = 5 s

Distance (s) =?

The distance travelled by the truck can be obtained as follow:

s = ut + ½at²

s = (0 × 5) + (½ × 3 × 5²)

s = 0 + (½ × 3 × 25)

s = 0 + 37.5

s = 37.5 m

Therefore, the distance travelled by the truck is 37.5 m

Effectus [21]

Answer:

id say D

Explanation:

because its the only answer that has to do with colors and visable light

but A and B also have to do with eachother so i feel like it could be with one of those but it def isnt C

9. Complete the following statement:
mario62 [17]

Answer:

E) the flow of energy due to a temperature difference.

Explanation:

Heat can be described as the flow of energy due to a temperature difference.

Which is expressed mathematically as;

H = MCΔT

Where;

H is the quantity of heat in a body, measured in Joules

M is the mass of the body, measured in kg

C is the specific heat capacity of the body, J/kg.K

ΔT is change in temperature or temperature difference.

So, heat energy in any system flows from a hotter region to a colder region due to temperature difference.

E) the flow of energy due to a temperature difference.
