Answer:

Specific gravity, also called relative density, is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance; equivalently, it is the ratio of the mass of a substance to the mass of a reference substance for the same given volume

The maximum distance from the Earth to the Sun (at aphelion) is 1.521 1011 m, and the distance of closest approach (at perihelio

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

29274.93096 m/s

$2.73966\times 10^{33}\ J$

$-5.39323\times 10^{33}\ J$

$2.56249\times 10^{33}\ J$

$-5.21594\times 10^{33}$

Explanation:

$r_p$ = Distance at perihelion = $1.471\times 10^{11}\ m$

$r_a$ = Distance at aphelion = $1.521\times 10^{11}\ m$

$v_p$ = Velocity at perihelion = $3.027\times 10^{4}\ m/s$

$v_a$ = Velocity at aphelion

m = Mass of the Earth = 5.98 × 10²⁴ kg

M = Mass of Sun = $1.9889\times 10^{30}\ kg$

Here, the angular momentum is conserved

$L_p=L_a\\\Rightarrow r_pv_p=r_av_a\\\Rightarrow v_a=\frac{r_pv_p}{r_a}\\\Rightarrow v_a=\frac{1.471\times 10^{11}\times 3.027\times 10^{4}}{1.521\times 10^{11}}\\\Rightarrow v_a=29274.93096\ m/s$

Earth's orbital speed at aphelion is 29274.93096 m/s

Kinetic energy is given by

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv_p^2\\\Rightarrow K=\frac{1}{2}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}(3.027\times 10^{4})^2\\\Rightarrow K=2.73966\times 10^{33}\ J$

Kinetic energy at perihelion is $2.73966\times 10^{33}\ J$

Potential energy is given by

$P=-\frac{GMm}{r_p}\\\Rightarrow P=-\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}}{1.471\times 10^{11}}\\\Rightarrow P=-5.39323\times 10^{33}$

Potential energy at perihelion is $-5.39323\times 10^{33}\ J$

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv_a^2\\\Rightarrow K=\frac{1}{2}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}(29274.93096)^2\\\Rightarrow K=2.56249\times 10^{33}\ J$

Kinetic energy at aphelion is $2.56249\times 10^{33}\ J$

Potential energy is given by

$P=-\frac{GMm}{r_a}\\\Rightarrow P=-\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}}{1.521\times 10^{11}}\\\Rightarrow P=-5.21594\times 10^{33}$

Potential energy at aphelion is $-5.21594\times 10^{33}\ J$

Two gliders collide on a frictionless air track that is aligned along the x axis. Glider A has an initial velocity of +4.0 m/s a

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

As collision is elastic,thus we can use conservation of momentum equation

mA=0.2 kg

(vB)1=0 m/s.......................as it is on rest before collision

(vA)1=4 m/s

(vA)2=-1 m/s

(vB)2=2 m/s

using equation

(mA*vA+mB*vB)1= (mA*vA+mB*vB)2

Where 1 and 2 represents before and after collision

(0.2*4)+(mB*0)=(0.2*-1)+(mB*2)

0.8=-0.2+(2mB)

mass of object B=mB=0.3 Kg
