Comets travel around the sun in elliptical orbits with large eccentricities. If a comet has speed 1.8×104 m/s when at a distance

of 2.2×1011 m from the center of the sun, what is its speed when at a distance of 4.2×1010 m. Express your answer using two significant figures.
=___________m/s.

Answer:

9.4 x 10⁴ m/s

Explanation:

In circular or elliptical orbits , the angular momentum is conserved because torque is zero.  

mr₁v₁ = mr₂v₂

2.2 x 10¹¹ x 1.8 x 10⁴ = 4.2 x 10¹⁰ v₂

v₂ = 9.42 x 10⁴ m/s.

= 9.4 x 10⁴ m/s

Peter and Fred are skateboarding in a large semicircular halfpipe. Peter starts out from rest at a height h and collides with Fr
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

The answer is h/4

Explanation:

When Peter collides with Fred, the collision is inelastic & they both proceed with a velocity of V/2.

let m represent the masses for Peter & Fred

v represent the initial velocity of Peter

V represent final velocity of both of them

mv + 3m × 0 = (m+m)V

V = v/2

Using the expression; H = v² / 2g .............Eqn 1

Upon substitution of V/2 into Eqn 1 above,

H = (V/2)² / 2g

H = (V²/4) ÷ 2g

Therefore height will be h/4
