Answer:

Force of sun on  earth can  be written:

F = G M m / R^2

Centripetal force on earth can be written:

F= m w^2 R

Equating these:

G M / R^2 = w^2 R

Or   w^2 = G (M / R^3)

Since no/ days per year is proportional to w (time for 1 revolution)

Increasing M (mass of sun) would increase w or decrease length of year

Increasing the mean radius R would decrease w  or increase length of year

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

The work done on the canister by the 5.0 N force during this time is

54.06 Joules.

Explanation:

Let the initial kinetic energy of the canister be

KE₁ = \frac{1}{2} mv_1^{2} = \frac{1}{2} *3*3.6^{2} = 19.44 J in the x direction

Let the the final kinetic energy of the canister be

KE₂ = \frac{1}{2} mv_2^{2} = \frac{1}{2} *3*7.0^{2} = 73.5 J in the y direction

Therefore from the Newton's first law of motion, the effect of the force is the change of momentum and the difference in energy between the initial and the final

= 73.5 J - 19.44 J = 54.06 J

What is a disadvantage of using nuclear power to produce electricity?
MrRa [10]

Question:

What is a disadvantage of using nuclear power to produce electricity?

Answer:

Disadvantages of Nuclear Power

The further implementations of nuclear power are limited because although nuclear energy does not produce CO2 the way fossil fuels do, there is still a toxic byproduct produced from uranium-fueled nuclear cycles: radioactive fission waste.
