A comet is in an elliptical orbit around the Sun. Its closest approach to the Sun is a distance of 4.8 1010 m (inside the orbit

of Mercury), at which point its speed is 9.1 104 m/s. Its farthest distance from the Sun is far beyond the orbit of Pluto. What is its speed when it is 6 1012 m from the Sun

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

Distance d_i = 4.8 \times 10^{10} \ m

Speed of the comet V_i = 9.1 \times 10^{4} \ m/s

At distance d_2 = 6 \times 10^{12} \ m

where;

mass of the sun = 1.98 \times 10^{30}

G = 6.67 \times 10^{-11}

To find the speed V_f:

Using the formula:

E_f = E_i + W \\ \\  where; \  \  W = 0  \ \  \text{since work done by surrounding is zero (0)}

E_f = E_i + 0 \\ \\  K_f + U_f = K_i + U_i  \\ \\ = \dfrac{1}{2}mV_f^2 +  \dfrac{-GMm}{d^2} =  \dfrac{1}{2}mV_i^2+ \dfrac{-GMm}{d_i} \\ \\ V_f = \sqrt{V_i^2 + 2 GM \Big [  \dfrac{1}{d_2}- \dfrac{1}{d_i}\Big ]}

V_f = \sqrt{(9.1 \times 10^{4})^2 + 2 (6.67\times 10^{-11}) *(1.98 * 10^{30} ) \Big [  \dfrac{1}{6*10^{12}}- \dfrac{1}{4.8*10^{10}}\Big ]}

\mathbf{V_f =53.125 \times 10^4 \ m/s}

A particle makes 800 revolution in 4 minutes of a circle of 5cm. Find
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

i) The period of the particle is 0.3 seconds

ii) The angular velocity is approximately 20.94 rad/s

iii) The linear velocity is approximately 1.047 m/s

iv) The centripetal acceleration is approximately 6.98 m/s²

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The number of revolution of the particle, n = 800 revolution

The time it takes the particle to make 800 revolutions = 4 minutes

The dimension of the circle = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Given that the dimension of the circle is the radius of the circle, we have;

i) The period of the particle, T = The time to complete one revolution

T = 1/(The number of revolutions per second)

∴ T = 1/(800 rev/(4 min × 60 s/min)) = 3/10 s

The period, T = 3/10 seconds = 0.3 seconds

ii) The angular velocity, ω = Angle covered/(Time)

800 revolutions in 4 minutes = Angle of (800 × 2·π) in 4 minutes

∴ ω = (800 × 2·π)/(4 × 60) = 20·π/3

The angular velocity, ω = 20·π/3 rad/s ≈ 20.94 rad/s

iii) The linear velocity, v = r × ω

∴ The linear velocity, v = 0.05 m × 20·π/3 rad/s = π/3 m/s ≈ 1.047 m/s

iv) The centripetal acceleration, a_c = v²/r

∴ The centripetal acceleration, a_c = (π/3)²/(0.05) = 20·π/9

The centripetal acceleration, a_c = 20·π/9 m/s² ≈ 6.98 m/s²

ozzi
The correct answer is <span>Montana.

In fact, we see from the table that Montana is the state with the largest amount of coal mined in 2005: 120 billion tons, while all the other states have a smaller amount of coal mined (37, 68 and 78, for West Virginia, Wyoming and Illinois, respectively).</span>
