Kepler's three laws of planetary motion can be stated as follows: (1) All planets move about the Sun in elliptical orbits, having the Sun as one of the foci. (2) A radius vector joining any planet to the Sun sweeps out equal areas in equal lengths of time.

Kepler's three laws of planetary motion are:

The 1st law is that planets move around the Sun in elliptical orbits. An ellipse is a shape that resembles a flattened circle. The 2nd law is the speed of the planet increases as it nears the sun and decreases as it recedes from the sun. The 3rd law is the square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit.

To test a slide at an amusement park, a block of wood with mass 3.00 kgkg is released at the top of the slide and slides down to

dem82 [27]

Answer:

511.1 J

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of wood block=m=3 kg

Vertical distance,h=23 m

Horizontal distance =x=30 m

Distance traveled in downward direction y=40 m

Initial velocity,u=0

$y=ut+\frac{1}{2} gt^2$

Where $g=9.8 m/s^2$

$40=0+\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2=4.9t^2$

$t^2=\frac{40}{4.9}$

$t=\sqrt{\frac{40}{4.9}}=2.86 s$

$x=v_x\times t$

$30=v_x(2.86)$

$v=v_x=\frac{30}{2.86}=10.49 m/s$

By work energy theorem

Change in kinetic energy=Work done= mgh-W

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2-\frac{1}{2}mu^2=3\times 9.8\times 23-W$

$\frac{1}{2}(3)(10.49)^2-0=676.2-W$

$W=676.2-\frac{1}{2}(3)(10.49)^2=511.1 J$

Hence, the work done due to friction on the block as it slides down the ramp=511.1 J

Compare the freezing point of water in the aquanaut’s apartment to its value at the surface. Is it higher, lower, or the same?

Lelu [443]

Answer:

Freezing Point - Lower

Boiling Point - Higher

Solid- liquid transition line in the phase diagram has a negative slope, but the liquid-gas transition line has a positive slope. Since there is more air pressure at 100m it will take less to freeze the water but more to boil it since it requires a larger temperature under larger pressures

If you have 100 W expended over 20 s how much energy did it take?

netineya [11]

Power = (work or energy) / (time)

100 W = (energy) / (20 sec)

Energy = 2,000 watt-sec

<em>Energy = 2,000 J</em>
