Answer:
The average speed of the earth in its orbit is
Explanation:
The average distance between the Earth and the Sun is .
The average speed of the earth in its orbit can be found by the next equation :
(1)
Where r is the radius and T is the period.
In this case, the orbit of the Earth can be considered as a circle
() instead of an ellipse.
It takes 1 year to the Earth to make one revolution around the Sun. Therefore, its period will be 365.25 days.
Notice that to express the period in terms of seconds, the following is needed:
⇒
Then, equation 1 can be used:
To solve this problem we will apply the theorem given in the conservation of energy, by which we have that it is conserved and that in terms of potential and kinetic energy, in their initial moment they must be equal to the final potential and kinetic energy. This is,
Replacing the 5100MJ for satellite as initial potential energy, 4200MJ for initial kinetic energy and 5700MJ for final potential energy we have that
Therefore the final kinetic energy is 3600MJ
Answer:
The amount of energy required is
Explanation:
The energy required to convert the ice to steam is the sum of:
1) Energy required to raise the temperature of the ice from -20 to 0 degree Celsius.
2) Latent heat required to convert the ice into water.
3) Energy required to raise the temperature of water from 0 degrees to 100 degrees
4) Latent heat required to convert the water at 100 degrees to steam.
The amount of energy required in each process is as under
1)
where
' is specific heat of ice =
2) Amount of heat required in phase 2 equals
3) The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of water from 0 to 100 degrees centigrade equals
where
' is specific heat of water=
4) Amount of heat required in phase 4 equals
Thus the total heat required equals
Answer:
a = - 0.209 [m/s²]
Explanation:
To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law which tells us that the sum of forces on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.
∑F = m*a
We will take the positive forces to the right and the negative forces to the left.
The negative sign means that the box accelerates in a negative direction to the left.
