Consider as a system the Sun with Saturn in a circular orbit around it. Find the magnitude of the change in the velocity of the

Sun relative to the center of mass of the system during the time Saturn completes half an orbit. Assume the mass of the Sun is 5.68 x10^29 kg, the mass of Saturn is 5.68 x10^26 kg, its period is 9.29 x10^8 s, and the radius of its orbit is 1.43 x 10^12 m. Ignore the influence of other celestial objects.?

Answer:

v_{su} = 19.44 m/s

Explanation:

m_{su}=5.68x10^{29}kg\\m_{sa}=5.68x10^{26}kg

T=9.29x10^8\\r_{o}=1.43x10^{12}

If the sun considered as x=0 on the axis to put the center of the mass as a:

m_{su}*r_{o}=(m_{sa}+m_{su})*r_{1}

solve to r1

r_1=\frac{m_{sa}*r_{o}}{m_{sa}+m_{su}}=\frac{5.68x10^{26}*1.43x10^{12}}{5.68x10^{26}+5.68x10^{26}}

r_1=1.428x10^9m

Now convert to coordinates centered on the center of mass.  call the new coordinates x' and y' (we won't need y').  Now since in the sun centered coordinates the angular momentum was  

L = \frac{m_{sa}*2*pi*r_1^2}{T}

where T = orbital period

then L'(x',y') = L(x) by conservation of angular momentum.  So that means

L_{sun}=\frac{m_{sa}*2*\pi *( 2r_{o}*r_1 -r_1^2)}{T}

Since

L_{su}= m_{su}*v_{su}*r_1

then

v_{su}=\frac{m_{sa}*2*pi*(2r_{o}*r_{1}-r_{1}^2)}{T*m_{sa}*r_1}

v_{su} = 19.44 m/s

A spring with a rest length of 0.7 m has a spring constant of 70 N/m. It is stretched and now has a length of 2.5 m. What is the
pentagon [3]

Answer:

<em>113.4 J</em>

Explanation:

<u>Elastic Potential Energy</u>

Is the energy stored in an elastic material like a spring of constant k, in which case the energy is proportional to the square of the change of length Δx and the constant k.

\displaystyle PE = \frac{1}{2}k(\Delta x)^2

The spring has a natural length of 0.7 m and a spring constant of k=70 N/m. When the spring is stretched to a length of 2.5 m, the change of length is

Δx = 2.5 m - 0.7 m = 1.8 m

The energy stored in the spring is:

\displaystyle PE = \frac{1}{2}70(1.8)^2

PE = 113.4 J
