At its closest approach, a moon comes within 200,000 km of the planet it orbits. At that point, the moon is 300,000 km from the

other focus of its orbit, f2. The planet is focus f1 of the moon's elliptical orbit. How far is the moon from the planet when it is 260,000 km from f2?

Answer:

s₁ = 240,000 km

Explanation:

The distance between both the focuses f₁ and f₂ will be the sum of distances of the moon from each focus at a given point. Therefore,

s = s₁ + s₂

where,

s = total distance between the focuses = ?

s₁ = distance between f1 and moon = 200,000 km

s₂ = distance between f₂ and moon = 300,000 km

Therefore,

s = 200,000 km + 300,000 km

s = 500,000 km

Now, when the distance from f₂ becomes 260,000 km, then the distance from f₁(planet) will become:

s = s₁ + s₂

500,000 km = s₁ + 260,000 km

s₁ = 500,000 km - 260,000 km

<u>s₁ = 240,000 km</u>

A soccer ball of mass 0.4 kg is moving horizontally with a speed of 20 m/s when it is kicked by a player. The kicking force is s
amid [387]

Answer:

v_{f} = 74 m/s, F = 230 N

Explanation:

We can work on this exercise using the relationship between momentum and moment

        I = ∫ F dt = Δp

bold indicates vectors

we can write this equations in its components

X axis

       Fₓ t = m ( -v_{xo})

Y axis  

        t = m (v_{yf} - v_{yo})

in this case with the ball it travels horizontally v_{yo} = 0

Let's use trigonometry to write the final velocities and the force

        sin 30 = v_{yf} / vf

        cos 30 = v_{xf} / vf

        v_{yf} = vf sin 30

        v_{xf} = vf cos 30

         sin40 = F_{y} / F

         F_{y} = F sin 40

         cos 40 = Fₓ / F

         Fₓ = F cos 40

let's substitute

      F cos 40 t = m ( cos 30 - vₓ₀)

      F sin 40 t = m (v_{f} sin 30-0)

we have two equations and two unknowns, so the system can be solved

        F cos 40 0.1 = 0.4 (v_{f} cos 30 - 20)

        F sin 40 0.1 = 0.4 v_{f} sin 30

we clear fen the second equation and subtitles in the first

         F = 4 sin30 /sin40     v_{f}

         F = 3.111 v_{f}

        (3,111 v_{f}) cos 40 = 4 v_{f} cos 30 - 80

        v_{f} (3,111 cos 40 -4 cos30) = - 80

        v_{f} (- 1.0812) = - 80

        v_{f} = 73.99

        v_{f} = 74 m/s

now we can calculate the force

          F = 3.111 73.99

          F = 230 N

How does the value of gravity vary as you go:
iragen [17]

Answer:

Gravity changes with altitude. as we know The gravitational force is proportional to 1/R2, where R is your distance from the center of the Earth.

eg. The radius of the Earth at the equator is 6400 kilometers.

Let's say you were in a jet at the equator that was 40 kilometers high above the earth's surface.

A diffraction grating has 500 slits/mm. What is the longest wavelength of light for which there will be a third-order maximum?
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

The longest wavelength of light  is 666.7 nm

Explanation:

The general form of the grating equation is

mλ = d(sinθi + sinθr)

where;

m is third-order maximum = 3

λ is the wavelength,

d is the slit spacing (m/slit)

θi  is the incident angle

θr is the diffracted angle

Note: at longest wavelength, sinθi + sinθr = 1

λ = d/m

d = 1/500 slits/mm

λ = 1 mm/(500 *3) = 1mm/1500 = 666.7 X 10⁻⁶ mm = 666.7 nm

Therefore, the longest wavelength of light  is 666.7 nm

Need help on this thank you
Semmy [17]

Answer:

TRUE - In any collision between two objects, the colliding objects exert equal and opposite force upon each other. This is simply Newton's law of action-reaction.
