Halley's comet orbits the sun roughly once every 76 years. It comes very close to the surface of the Sun on its closest approach

. Estimate the greatest distance of the comet from the sun. Is it still in the Solar System? What planet's orbit is nearest when it is out there?

Answer:

r1 = 5*10^10 m , r2 = 6*10^12 m

v1 = 9*10^4 m/s

From conservation of energy

K1 +U1 = K2 +U2

0.5mv1^2 - GMm/r1 = 0.5mv2^2 - GMm/r2

0.5v1^2 - GM/r1 = 0.5v2^2 - GM/r2

M is mass of sun = 1.98*10^30 kg

G = 6.67*10^-11 N.m^2/kg^2

0.5*(9*10^4)^2 - (6.67*10^-11*1.98*10^30/(5*10^10)) = 0.5v2^2 - (6.67*10^-11*1.98*10^30/(6*10^12))

v2 = 5.35*10^4 m/s

“Force of impact”is:
Bumek [7]
In mechanics, an impact is a highforce or shock applied over a short time period when two or more bodies collide. Such a force or acceleration usually has a greater effect than a lower force applied over a proportionally longer period. ... Resilient materials will have betterimpact resistance.

An electrical heater 100 mm long and 5 mm in diameter is inserted into a hole drilled normal to the surface of a large block of
slega [8]

Answer:

T_{1}=94.9^{o}C

Explanation:

Given data

length=100mm

Diameter=5mm

Thermal conductivity=5 W/m.K

Power=50 W

Temperature=25°C

The temperature of heater surface follows from the rate equation written as:

T_{1}=T_{2}+\frac{q}{kS}

Where S can be estimated from the conduction shape factor for a vertical cylinder in semi infinite medium

S=\frac{2\pi L}{ln(\frac{4L}{D} )} \\

Substitute the given values

S=\frac{2\pi (0.1m)}{ln[\frac{4*0.1m}{0.005m} ]}\\ S=0.143m

The temperature of heater is then:

T_{1}=25^{o}C+\frac{50W}{5W/m.K*0.143m} \\T_{1}=94.9^{o}C

The temperature reached by the heater when dissipating 50 W with the surface of the block at a temperature of 25°C.

                           T_{1}=94.9^{o}C

Expain how a hurricane develops
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

A hurricane starts to form when warm air rises and then that warm air turns into cooler air. After a while of this happening large clouds and thunderstorms    are made. The clouds and thunderstorms keep growing and rotating from earth's Coriolis Effect. Then a hurricane forms.
