Which statement best explains how a planet affects the orbit of a comet as the comet passes by the planet?

1 answer:

8 0

Comets orbit the sun just like planets do. Except a comet usually has a very elongated orbit. Thanks to the laws of gravity comets obey the same laws. A comets orbit takes it very close to the sun and then far away again.

A machine gun fires 50-g bullets at the rate of 4 bullets per second. The bullets leave the gun at a speed of 1000 m/s. What is

TEA [102]

Answer:

Average recoil force experienced by machine will be 200 N

Explanation:

We have give mass of each bullet m = 50 gram = 0.05 kg

There are 4 bullets

So mass of 4 bullets = 4×0.05 = 0.2 kg

Initial speed of the bullet u = 0 m/sec

And final speed of the bullet v = 1000 m/sec

So change in momentum $P=m(v-u)=0.2\times (1000-0)=200kgm/sec$

Time is given per second so t = 1 sec

We know that force is equal to rate of change of momentum

So force will be equal to $F=\frac{200}{1}=200N$

So average recoil force experienced by machine will be 200 N

A proton is released from rest at the origin in a uniform electric field that is directed in the positive xx direction with magn

elena-s [515]

Answer:

The change in potential energy is $\Delta PE = - 3.8*10^{-16} \ J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The magnitude of the uniform electric field is $E = 950 \ N/C$

The distance traveled by the electron is $x = 2.50 \ m$

Generally the force on this electron is mathematically represented as

$F = qE$

Where F is the force and q is the charge on the electron which is a constant value of $q = 1.60*10^{-19} \ C$

Thus

$F = 950 * 1.60 **10^{-19}$

$F = 1.52 *10^{-16} \ N$

Generally the work energy theorem can be mathematically represented as

$W = \Delta KE$

Where W is the workdone on the electron by the Electric field and $\Delta KE$ is the change in kinetic energy

Also workdone on the electron can also be represented as

$W = F* x *cos( \theta )$

Where $\theta = 0 ^o$ considering that the movement of the electron is along the x-axis

$\Delta KE = F * x cos (0)$

substituting values

$\Delta KE = 1.52 *10^{-16} * 2.50 cos (0)$

$\Delta KE = 3.8*10^{-16} J$

Now From the law of energy conservation

$\Delta PE = - \Delta KE$

Where $\Delta PE$ is the change in potential energy

Thus

$\Delta PE = - 3.8*10^{-16} \ J$

A 60-Hz single-phase transformer with capacity of 150 kVA has the following parameters: RP = 0.35 Ω RS = 0.002 Ω Rc = 5.2 kΩ XP

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Total Resistance, Rt = (0.35 + 0.002 + 5200 + 0.5 + 0.008 + 1100) = 6300 ohms

a) Capacity of transformer, Pt = 150KVA = 150,000 W

Input Voltage, Vp = 2.8 KV = 2800 V

Current, Ip = 150000/2800 = 53.57 A

Input impedance, Zp = Vp/Ip = 2800/5357 = 52.27 ohms

b) i) Input current = 53.57 A

ii) Voltage, V = Ip * Rt = 53.57 X 6300 = 337.5 KV

iii) Power, P = I² * Rt = (53.57)² X 6300 = 18.08 MW

iv) Power factor = 0.83
