Comets travel around the sun in elliptical orbits with large eccentricities. If a comet has speed 1.6×104 m/s when at a distance

of 2.7×1011 m from the center of the sun, what is its speed when at a distance of 4.8×1010 m?

Answer:

v₂ = 7.6 x 10⁴ m/s

Explanation:

given,

speed of comet(v₁) = 1.6 x 10⁴ m/s

distance (d₁)= 2.7 x 10¹¹ m

to find the speed when he is at distance of(d₂) 4.8 × 10¹⁰ m

v₂ = ?

speed of planet can be determine using conservation of energy

K.E₁ + P.E₁ = K.E₂ + P.E₂

\dfrac{1}{2}mv_1^2-\dfrac{GMm}{r_1} = \dfrac{1}{2}mv_2^2-\dfrac{GMm}{r_2}

\dfrac{1}{2}v_1^2-\dfrac{GM}{r_1} = \dfrac{1}{2}v_2^2-\dfrac{GM}{r_2}

v_2^2= v_1^2 + \dfrac{2GM}{r_2}-\dfrac{2GM}{r_1}

v_2= \sqrt{v_1^2 +2GM(\dfrac{1}{r_2}-\dfrac{1}{r_1})}

v_2= \sqrt{(1.6\times 10^4)^2 +2\times 6.67 \times 10^{-11}\times 1.99 \times 10^{30}(\dfrac{1}{4.8\times 10^{10}}-\dfrac{1}{2.7\times 10^{11}})}

v₂ = 7.6 x 10⁴ m/s

What nonliving materials are important to living things?
Pavel [41]
<span>Nonliving things also have unlimited duration of existence. While living things die and decompose, nonliving things such as rocks, mountains, air and water have existed for millions of years. They may grow, but they do so only by accretion, which is the process of growth by accumulating added layers of matter.</span>

Consider a highway composed of concrete. If the road is 4.5 km long, 30 m wide, and 0.70 m thick, what is its mass?
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

Explanation:

We need to assume that the density of the concrete is about 2350 Kg/m^3. And using the dimensions of the highway we can calculate the volume of the highway.

vh=4500 * 30 * 0,70\\vh=94500 m^3\\den=m/v\\m=den*v\\m=2350*94500\\\\m=222075 ton

One of the main uses of this device is to test a beam of charged particles

What is cathode ray tube?

The cathode ray tube determines the charge flowing in a gas. When an electric field is set up using metal electrodes, the cathode ray tends to bend towards the positive electrode.

This concludes that a charge and the electrodes present helps determine the charge of the beam of charged particle.

Thus, one of the main uses of this device is to test a beam of charged particles.
