In order to overcome an object’s inertia (resistance to change), it must be acted upon by an unbalanced force, so the answer to the problem is letter C.

According to Newton's first law, the law of inertia, an object's velocity will not change unless it is acted upon by an outside force. This means that objects at rest tend to stay at rest, and objects in motion tend to stay in motion.

a college student produces about 100 kcal of heat per hour on the average what is the rate of energy production and joules

Bond [772]

Given:

Amount of heat produced = 100 kcal per hour

Let's find the rate of energy production in joules.

We know that:

1 calorie = 4.184 Joules

1 kcal = 4.184 Joules

To find the rate of energy production in Joules, we have:

$\begin{gathered} Rate=100\ast4.184 \\ \\ \text{Rate}=418.4\text{ KJ/hour} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the rate of energy production in joules is 418.4 kJ/h which is equivalent to 418400 Joules

ANSWER:

418.4 kJ/h

Problem 4 A meteoroid is first observed approaching the earth when it is 402,000 km from the center of the earth with a true ano

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

Part a: The eccentricity is 1.086.

Part b: The altitude at closest approach is 5088 km

Part c: The velocity at perigee is 8.516 km/s

Part d: The turn angle is 134.08 while the aiming radius is 5641.28 km

Explanation:

Specific energy is given by

$\epsilon=\frac{v^2}{2}-\frac{\mu}{r}$

Here

ε is the specific energy
v is the velocity which is given as 2.23 km/s
μ is the gravitational constant whose value is 398600
r is the distance between earth and the meteorite which is 402,000 km

$\epsilon=\frac{v^2}{2}-\frac{\mu}{r}\\\epsilon=\frac{2.2^2}{2}-\frac{398600}{402,000}\\\epsilon=1.495 km^2/s^2$

Value of specific energy is also given as

$\epsilon=\frac{\mu}{2a}\\a=\frac{\mu}{2\epsilon}\\a=\frac{398600}{2\times 1.495}\\a=13319 km$

Orbit formula is given as

$r=a(\frac{e^2-1}{1+ecos \theta})\\ae^2-recos\theta-(a+r)=0$

Putting values in this equation and solving for e via the quadratic formula gives

$ae^2-recos\theta-(a+r)=0\\(133319)e^2-(402000)(cos 150) e-(133319+402000)=0\\133319e^2+348142.21 e-535319=0\\\\e=\frac{-348142.21 \pm \sqrt{348142.21^2-4(133319)(535319)}}{2 (133319)}\\\\e=1.086 \, or \, -3.69$
