Alexxandr [17]2 years ago

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

Tanzania [10]

While ice melts, it remains at 0 °C, and the liquid water that is formed with the latent heat of fusion is also at 0 °C. The heat of fusion for water at 0 °C is approximately 334 joules per gram, and the heat of vaporization at 100 °C is about 2,230 joules per gram. So it will be C

An airplane flies at 40 m/s at an altitude of 50 meters. The pilot drops a heavy package which falls to the ground. Where, appro
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

128 m

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Horizontal velocity (u) = 40 m/s

Height (h) = 50 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Horizontal distance (s) =?

Next, we shall determine the time taken for the package to get to the ground.

This can be obtained as follow:

Height (h) = 50 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) =?

h = ½gt²

50 = ½ × 9.8 × t²

50 = 4.9 × t²

Divide both side by 4.9

t² = 50 / 4.9

t² = 10.2

Take the square root of both side

t = √10.2

t = 3.2 s

Finally, we shall determine where the package lands by calculating the horizontal distance travelled by the package after being dropped from the plane. This can be obtained as follow:

Horizontal velocity (u) = 40 m/s

Time (t) = 3.2 s

Horizontal distance (s) =?

s = ut

s = 40 × 3.2

s = 128 m

Therefore, the package will land at 128 m relative to the plane
