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?

Initially sliding with a speed of 1.9 m/s, a 1.8 kg block collides with a spring and compresses it 0.35 m before coming to rest.
Alika [10]
Let k =  the force constant of the spring (N/m).

The strain energy (SE) stored in the spring when it is compressed by a distance x=0.35 m is
SE = (1/2)*k*x²
     = 0.5*(k N/m)*(0.35 m)²
     = 0.06125k J

The KE (kinetic energy) of the sliding block is
KE = (1/2)*mass*velocity²
     = 0.5*(1.8 kg)*(1.9 m/s)²
     = 3.249 J

Assume that negligible energy is lost when KE is converted into SE.
Therefore
0.06125k = 3.249
k = 53.04 N/m

Answer:  53 N/m  (nearest integer)

Landslides are primarily caused by -
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

Gravitational pull

Explanation:

There are four fundamental forces in nature:

- Gravitational force: it is an attractive force exerted between all objects having mass. Its magnitude is proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects.

- Electromagnetic force: it is the force exerted between electrically charged object. It can be either attractive ore repulsive.  Its magnitude is proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects.

- Strong nuclear force: it is the force responsible for holding protons and neutrons together in the nuclei of the atoms. It is attractive and acts only on a very short scale.

- Weak nuclear force: it is the force responsible for certain nuclear decay processes (radioactivity).

In this problem, landslides occur when certain masses of terrain are attracted towards the ground - they are attracted because of the gravitational force.

So, the correct answer is

gravitational pull

When the magnetic flux through a coil of wire changes, what is generated between the ends of the coil? Which equation predicts t
True [87]

Answer:

induced electromotive force (Voltage)    E = - N dΦ / dt

Explanation:

When the magnetic flux this coil induces a current in each turn of the coil, which is why an induced electromotive force (Voltage) appears at the ends of the coil.

This phenomenon is fully explained by Faraday's law

        E = - dΦ / dt

where in the case of a coil with N turns of has

        E = - N dΦ / dt

Rl flux is the product of the normal to the area by the magnetic field, in this case the flux changes so we can assume that the area of ​​the coil is constant

5. What is the speed of a wave in a spring if it has a wavelength of 10 cm and a period of 0.2s
eimsori [14]

Explanation:

speed of wave

v = wavelength x frequency

since frequency is f = 1/Period then

v = wavelength : Period

v = 10 cm/ 0.2 s = 50 cm/s

v = 0.5 m/s
