Explanation:

equating the parameters into the formula, it's gonna be

= ½ × 60 × 20²

= ½ × 60 × 400

= ½ × 24000

K.E = 12000J

calculate earths velocity of approach toward the sun when earth in its orbit is at an extremum of the latus rectum through the s

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Hello your question is incomplete below is the complete question

Calculate Earths velocity of approach toward the sun when earth in its orbit is at an extremum of the latus rectum through the sun, Take the eccentricity of Earth's orbit to be 1/60 and its Semimajor axis to be 93,000,000

answer : V = 1.624* 10^-5 m/s

Explanation:

First we have to calculate the value of a

a = 93 * 10^6 mile/m * 1609.344 m

= 149.668 * 10^8 m

next we will express the distance between the earth and the sun

$r = \frac{a(1-E^2)}{1+Ecos\beta }$ --------- (1)

a = 149.668 * 10^8

E (eccentricity ) = ( 1/60 )^2

$\beta$ = 90°

input the given values into equation 1 above

r = 149.626 * 10^9 m

next calculate the Earths velocity of approach towards the sun using this equation

$v^2 = \frac{4\pi^2 }{r_{c} }$ ------ (2)

Note :

Rc = 149.626 * 10^9 m

equation 2 becomes

( $V^2 = (\frac{4\pi^{2} }{149.626*10^9})$

therefore : V = 1.624* 10^-5 m/s

Your 64-cm-diameter car tire is rotating at 3.3 rev/swhen suddenly you press down hard on the accelerator. After traveling 250 m

umka21 [38]

Answer:

0.76 rad/s^2

Explanation:

First, we convert the original and final velocity from rev/s to rad/s:

$v_o = 3.3\frac{rev}{s} * \frac{2\pi rad}{1rev} =20.73 rad/s$

$v_f = 6.4\frac{rev}{s} * \frac{2\pi rad}{1rev}=40.21 rad/s$

Now, we need to find the number of rads that the tire rotates in the 250m path. We use the arc length formula:

$D = x*r \\x = \frac{D}{r} = \frac{250m}{0.64m/2} = 781.25 rads$

Now, we just use the formula:

$w_f^2-w_o^2=2\alpha*x$

$\alpha =\frac{w_f^2-w_o^2}{2x} = \frac{(40.21rad/s)^2-(20.73rad/s)^2}{2*781.25rad} = 0.76 rad/s^2$

Name and describe the three types of binary systems.

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer and Explanation:

The binary system is a star system about half of the star are the part of the binary system

The important binary systems are

Visual binary : in visual binary system the two stars resolved visually with nay sort of optical device the orbit of binary orbit is very large about center of mass.
Spectroscopic binary : in this binary system the stars are detected by close analysis of light and after detection it is found that there are two seller spectrum present instead of one.
Eclipsing binary : eclipsing binary system is a several types of variable stars this binary system is very important in astrophysics

Explain how wavelength and frequency are important in determining the type of light.

asambeis [7]

It is important to note that the electromagnetic spectrum has a variety of wavelength and frequency of light in it. Some lights we can see, while others are not visual to our naked eye. It is actually very important to determine the kind of light as different lights have different wavelengths and frequencies. some lights are of very high frequency like the gamma rays, while others are of far lower frequency. <span />
