On Jupiter, C. your weight would increase by a factor of 2.4 . Weight is a product of mass and gravity. Mass does not change dependent upon location.

What are the periodic variations in Earth's rotation and orbit around the sun that alter the way solar radiation is distributed

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

1. The precession of the equinoxes.

2. Changes in the tilt angle of Earth’s rotational axis relative to the plane of Earth’s orbit around the Sun.

3. Variations in the eccentricity

Explanation:

These variations listed above; the precession of the equinoxes (refers, changes in the timing of the seasons of summer and winter), this occurs on a roughly about 26,000-year interval; changes in the tilt angle of Earth’s rotational axis relative to the plane of Earth’s orbit around the Sun, this occurs roughly in a 41,000-year interval; and changes in the eccentricity (that is a departure from a perfect circle) of Earth’s orbit around the Sun, occurring on a roughly 100,000-year timescale. which influences the mean annual solar radiation at the top of Earth’s atmosphere.

A ski gondola is connected to the top of a hill by a steel cable of length 620 m and diameter 1.5 cm. As the gondola comes to th

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

(a) 89 m/s

(b) 11000 N

Explanation:

Note that answers are given to 2 significant figures which is what we have in the values in the question.

(a) Speed is given by the ratio of distance to time. In the question, the time given was the time it took the pulse to travel the length of the cable twice. Thus, the distance travelled is twice the length of the cable.

$v=\dfrac{2\times 620 \text{ m}}{14\text{ s}} = \dfrac{1240\text{ m}}{14\text{ s}}=88.571428\ldots \text{ m/s}= 89\text{ m/s}$

(b) The tension, $T$ , is given by

$v =\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}}$

where $v$ is the speed, $T$ is the tension and $\mu$ is the mass per unit length.

Hence,

$T = \mu\cdot v^{2}$

To determine $\mu$ , we need to know the mass of the cable. We use the density formula:

$\rho = \dfrac{m}{V}$

where $m$ is the mass and $V$ is the volume.

$m=\rho\cdot V$

If the length is denoted by $l$ , then

$\mu = \dfrac{m}{l} = \dfrac{\rho\cdot V}{l}$

$T = \dfrac{\rho\cdot V}{l} v^{2}$

The density of steel = 8050 kg/m3

The cable is approximately a cylinder with diameter 1.5 cm and length or height of 620 m. Its volume is

$V = \pi \dfrac{d^{2}}{4} l$

$T = \dfrac{\rho\cdot\pi d^2 l}{4l}v^2 = \dfrac{\rho\cdot\pi d^2}{4}v^2$

$T = \dfrac{8050\times\pi\times0.015^2}{4} \times 88.57^2$

$T = 11159.4186\ldots \text{ N} = 11000 \text{ N}$

Answer:

Speed at which it will reach the ground is given as

$v_f = 46.8 m/s$

Total time for which it will remain in air is given as

t = 6.3 s

Explanation:

As we know that the object is projected upwards with speed

$v_i = 15 m/s$

$g = - 9.81 m/s^2$

now when it will reach the ground then we have

$y = v_y t + \frac{1}{2} at^2$

so we have

$-100 = 15 t - \frac{1}{2}(-9.81) t^2$

$4.905 t^2 - 15 t - 100 = 0$

so we have

$t = 6.3 s$

Now speed of the object when it reaches the ground is given as

$v_f = v_i + at$

$v_f = -15 + (9.81)(6.3)$

$v_f = 46.8 m/s$
