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

Alexis walked 1.5 km to her house in 0.5 hours. What is Alexis’ speed?
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

Speed = 3 [km/h]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the definition of speed which relates the distance traveled for a while.

Distance = 1.5 [km] = 1500 [m].

time = 0.5 [hr] = 1800 [s]

Speed = Distance/time

Speed = 1.5/0.5

Speed = 3 [km/h] or 1500/1800 = 0.8333[m/s]

A boy walked 4m east then 3m south find the displacement
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

5m

Explanation:

4^{2}+3^{2}=5^{2}\\5^{2}=25

Use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the long edge of the triangle, which would be his displacement.

The velocity of a 1.3 kg block sliding down a frictionless inclined plane is found to be 1.26 m/s. 1.10 s later, it has a veloci
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

\theta = 25.3^\circ

Explanation:

The acceleration of the block can be found by the kinematics equations:

v = v_0 + at\\5.88 = 1.26 + a(1.1)\\a = 4.2~m/s^2

Since the plane is frictionless, the only force acting on the block along the motion of the block is its weight.

F = mg\sin(\theta) = ma\\g\sin(\theta) = a\\(9.8)\sin(\theta) = 4.2\\\theta = 25.3^\circ
