Is the speed of Earth revolving around the sun changing?

2 answers:

Answer: First of all, I cannot give you a precise answer, because the speed of the Earth changes all the time as the Earth moves around the Sun. This is because Kepler's second law says that on its orbit, a planet will sweep equal areas in equal amounts of time.

Answer:

30 kilometers per second

Explanation:

the surface of the earth at the equator moves at a speed of 460 meters per second--or roughly 1,000 miles per hour. It covers this route at a speed of nearly 30 kilometers per second, or 67,000 miles per hour.

In a few sentences, compare and contrast pressurized water reactors and boiling water reactors.

kondaur [170]

For pressurized water reactors the coolant is not permitted to boil in the core of the PRW, however the coolant in boiling water reactors is permitted to do so in the core of BWR. Pressurized water reactors have an indirect cycle. Whereas, the boiling water reactors go through a direct cycle. Both are light water reactors.

A beam of light strikes one face of a window pane with an angle of incidence of 30.0°. The index of refraction of the glass is 1

natka813 [3]

Answer:

(a). The angle of refraction is 19.26°.

(b). That is proved that the rays in air on either side of the glass are parallel to each other

Explanation:

Given that,

Angle of incidence = 30.0°

Index of reflection of glass = 1.52

(a). We need to calculate the angle of refraction for the ray inside the glass

Using snell's law

$\dfrac{\sin i}{\sin r}=\mu$

$\sin r=\dfrac{\sin i}{\mu}$

Put the value into the formula

$\sin r=\dfrac{\sin 30}{1.52}$

$r=\sin^{-1}(0.329)$

$r=19.26^{\circ}$

(b). We know that,

The incident ray and emerging ray is equal then the ray will be parallel.

We need to prove that the rays in air on either side of the glass are parallel to each other

Using formula for emerging ray

$\dfrac{\sin e}{\sin r}=\mu$

$\sin e=\sin r\times \mu$

Put the value into the formula

$\sin e=0.3289\times 1.52$

$e=\sin^{-1}(0.499)$

$e=29.9\approx 30^{\circ}$

So, $\sin i=\sin e$

This is proved.

Hence, (a). The angle of refraction is 19.26°.

(b). That is proved that the rays in air on either side of the glass are parallel to each other

A girl is floating in a freshwater lake with her head just above the water. If she weighs 610 N, what is the volume of the subme

Elden [556K]

Answer:

The volume of the submerged part of her body is $0.0622m^{3}$

Explanation:

Let's define the buoyant force acting on a submerged object.

In a submerged object acts a buoyant force which can be calculated as :

$B=$ ρ.V.g

Where ''B'' is the buoyant force

Where ''ρ'' is the density of the fluid

Where ''V'' is the submerged volume of the object

Where ''g'' is the acceleration due to gravity

Because the girl is floating we can state that the weight of the girl is equal to the buoyant force.

We can write :

$W_{girl}=B$ (I)

Where ''W'' is weight

⇒ If we consider ρ = $1000\frac{kg}{m^{3}}$ (water density) and $g=9.81\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ and replacing this values in the equation (I) ⇒

$B=W_{girl}$

$B=610N$

ρ.V.g = 610N

$1000\frac{kg}{m^{3}}.V.(9.81\frac{m}{s^{2}})=610N$ (II)

The force unit ''N'' (Newton) is defined as

$N=kg.\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

Using this in the equation (II) :

$(9810\frac{N}{m^{3}}).V =610N$

$V=\frac{610N}{9810\frac{N}{m^{3}}}$

$V=0.0622m^{3}$

We find that the volume of the submerged part of her body is $0.0622m^{3}$

12 seconds after starting from rest a frewly falling cantaloupe has a speed of

adoni [48]

Answer:

<em>The cantaloupe has a speed of 117.6 m/s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Free Fall Motion</u>

It occurs when an object falls under the sole influence of gravity. Any object that is being acted upon solely by the force of gravity is said to be in a state of free fall. Free-falling objects do not face air resistance.

If an object is dropped from rest in a free-falling motion, it falls with a constant acceleration called the acceleration of gravity, which value is $g = 9.8 m/s^2$ .

The final velocity of a free-falling object after a time t is given by:

vf=g.t

The cantaloupe has been dropped from rest. We are required to find the speed after t=12 seconds.

Calculate the final speed:

vf=9.8 * 12 = 117.6 m/s

The cantaloupe has a speed of 117.6 m/s
