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

A 0.5-kilogram apple falls from a height of 2 meters to 1.50 meters. Ignoring frictional effects, what is the kinetic energy of
spin [16.1K]

The  final kinetic energy of the ball is 2.45 J

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of energy.

In absence of frictional effect, the mechanical energy of the apple must be conserved during the fall. So we can write:

U_i +K_i = U_f + K_f

where :

U_i is the initial potential energy, at the top

K_i is the initial kinetic energy, at the top

U_f is the final potential energy, at the bottom

K_f is the final kinetic energy, at the bottom

By explicing the potential energy, we can rewrite the equation as:

mgh_i + K_i = mgh_f + K_f

where:

m = 0.5 kg is the mass of the apple

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

h_i = 2 m is the initial height

h_f=1.50 m is the final height

The initial kinetic energy is zero, since the ball starts from rest:

K_i = 0

Therefore we can solve the equation for K_f, the final kinetic energy of the ball:

K_f = mg(h_i-h_f)=(0.5)(9.8)(2-1.50)=2.45 J

A hockey stick of mass ms and length L is at rest on the ice (which is assumed to be frictionless). A puck with mass mp hits the
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

L = mp*v₀*(ms*D) / (ms + mp)

Explanation:

Given info

ms = mass of the hockey stick

uis = 0 (initial speed of the hockey stick before the collision)

xis = D (initial position of center of mass of the hockey stick before the collision)

mp = mass of the puck

uip = v₀ (initial speed of the puck before the collision)

xip = 0 (initial position of center of mass of the puck before the collision)

If we apply

Ycm = (ms*xis + mp*xip) / (ms + mp)

⇒  Ycm = (ms*D + mp*0) / (ms + mp)

⇒  Ycm = (ms*D) / (ms + mp)

Now, we can apply the equation

L = m*v*R

where m = mp

v = v₀

R = Ycm

then we have

L = mp*v₀*(ms*D) / (ms + mp)
