lesya [120]

"<em>The different types of radiation are defined by the the amount of </em><em>energy</em><em> found in the photons. Radio </em><em>waves</em><em> have photons with low energies, microwave photons have a little </em><em>more energy</em><em> than radio </em><em>waves</em><em>, infrared photons have still </em><em>more</em><em>, then visible, ultraviolet, X-rays, and, the </em><em>most</em><em> energetic of all, gamma-rays.</em>"

During a certain comet’s orbit around the Sun, its closest distance to the Sun is 0.6 AU, and its farthest distance from the Sun
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

At the closest point

Explanation:

We can simply answer this question by applying Kepler's 2nd law of planetary motion.

It states that:

"A line connecting the center of the Sun to any other object orbiting around it (e.g. a comet) sweeps out equal areas in equal time intervals"

In this problem, we have a comet orbiting around the Sun:

- Its closest distance  from the Sun is 0.6 AU

- Its farthest distance from the Sun is 35 AU

In order for Kepler's 2nd law to be valid, the line connecting the center of the Sun to the comet must move slower when the comet is farther away (because the area swept out is proportional to the product of the distance and of the velocity: A\propto vr, therefore if r is larger, then v (velocity) must be lower).

On the other hand, when the the comet is closer to the Sun the line must move faster (A\propto vr, if r is smaller, v must be higher). Therefore, the comet's orbital velocity will be the largest at the closest distance to the Sun, 0.6 A.

When you jump,you push the earth downward.Why can’t you tell that the earth has moved?
Nonamiya [84]

The movement of the earth is so small, especially compared to you, that you don't realize it. This is because the earth's mass is so much greater than your mass.
