The Earth’s orbit around the Sun is slightly elliptical. At Earth's closest approach to the Sun (perihelion) the orbital radiu

s is 1.471×10^11m, and at its farthest distance (aphelion) the orbital radius is 1.521×10^11m.
a. Find the difference in gravitational potential energy between when the Earth is at its aphelion and perihelion radii.
b. If the orbital speed of the Earth is 29,290 m/s at aphelion, what is its orbital speed at perihelion?

Two forces, F? 1 and F? 2, act at a point, as shown in the picture. (Figure 1) F? 1 has a magnitude of 9.20 N and is directed at
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

a. Fx = -8.089 N b. Fy = 3.525 N c. 8.824 N d. 336.45°

Explanation:

Since F₁ = 9.2 N and acts at 57° above the negative axis in the second quadrant, its x-component is -F₁cos57° and its y- component is F₁sin57°

Since F₁ = 5.2 N and acts at 53.7° below the negative axis in the third quadrant, its x-component is -F₂cos53.7° and its y- component is -F₂sin53.7°

Part A

What is the x component Fx of the resultant force?

The x component of the resultant force Fx = -F₁cos57° + -F₂cos53.7° = -9.2cos57° + (-5.2cos53.7°) = (-5.011 - 3.078) N = -8.089 N

Part B

What is the y component Fy of the resultant force?

The y component Fy of the resultant force = F₁sin57° + -(F₂sin53.7°) = 9.2sin57° - 5.2sin53.7° = (7.716 - 4.191) N = 3.525 N

Part C  

What is the magnitude F of the resultant force?

The magnitude F of the resultant force = √(Fx² + Fy²)

F = √(-8.089² N + 3.525² N) = √65.432 + 12.426 = √77.858 = 8.824 N

Part D

What is the angle ? that the resultant force forms with the negative x axis?

The angle the resultant force makes with the negative x axis is given by

θ = tan⁻¹(Fy/Fx) = tan⁻¹(3.525/-8.089) = tan⁻¹-0.4358 = -23.55°.

To measure it from the negative x axis, we add 360. So, our angle = 360 -23.55 = 336.45°

What are the main ideas of physical science
Mademuasel [1]
Hysical science is defined as the study of observable phenomena in the universe. 

<span>the main idea of physical science is known as the "scientific method". </span>

<span>this method states: </span>

<span>observe a "real" ( not imaginary ) phenomena. </span>

<span>make a hypothesis ( or theory / idea ) that EXPLAINS this phenomena. </span>

<span>conduct a real experiment to test this hyothesis. </span>

<span>confirm that the experiment validates the original hypothesis and if necessary amend the theory. </span>

<span>it has worked so well that the very communication you are having with me is a result of the wonders of physical science. </span>

What happens when two forces act in the same direction?
Wewaii [24]

Using the picture provided the forces are added together, because they are putting force on an object the same direction, thus the forces are added.
