Using Kepler's third law, the average sun -Vesta distance is 2.36 AU.

According to Kepler's laws, the square of the period of revolution of planets are proportional to the cube of their average distances from the sun. Hence, we can write; $T^{2} =r^{3}$

Where;

T = period of the planet

r = average distance of the planet

When;

T = 3.63 years

r = $\sqrt[3]{T^2}$

r = $\sqrt[3]{(3.63)^2}$

r = 2.36 AU

An object has a kinetic energy of 14 J and a mass of 17 kg , how fast is the object moving?

lisabon 2012 [21]

$v ^{2}$ = Joules ÷ (0.5×Kilograms)

14J ÷ 8.5 = 1.64705882

Remember, 1.64705882 = v², so we need to find the square root.

The square root of 1.64705882 is 1.283377894464448

Hope this helps!

What is the difference between a good conductor and a good insulator?

brilliants [131]

Answer:

Explanation:

In a conductor, electric current can flow freely, in an insulator it cannot.

Metals such as copper typify conductors, while most non-metallic solids are said to be good insulators, having extremely high resistance to the flow of charge through them.

Most atoms hold on to their electrons tightly and are insulators.

A motorcycle that is slowing down uniformly. The motorcycle covers 1 ????m=1000 m in 80 sec⁡. The motorcycle then covers the nex

Lynna [10]

Answer:

Part a)

acceleration = -0.042 m/s/s

Part b)

initial speed = 14.17 m/s

final speed = 5.77 m/s

Explanation:

Part a)

Let the initial velocity of the motorcycle is

$v_i = v_o$

now at the end of 80 s let the speed is

$v_f = v_1$

after another 120 s let the speed will be

$v_f' = v_2$

now we know that

$d = \frac{v_i + v_f}{2} (t)$

$d = \frac{v_o + v_1}{2}(80)$

$1000 = 40(v_o + v_1)$

also we know that

$v_1 - v_o = a(80)$

also we have

$1000 = \frac{v_1 + v_2}{2}(120)$

$1000 = 60(v_1 + v_2)$

now we can say

$(v_2 + v_1) - (v_o + v_1) = \frac{50}{3} - \frac{50}{2}$

also we know

$v_2 - v_o = a(120 + 80)$

$-8.33 = 200 a$

$a = -0.042 m/s^2$

Part b)

now we have

$v_1 + v_o = 25$

$v_1 - v_o = (-0.042)(80)$

$v_1 = 10.83 m/s$

so the starting velocity of the trip is

$v_o = 25 - 10.83 = 14.17 m/s$

now speed after t = 200 s is given as

$v_2 = v_o + at$

$v_2 = 14.17 - (0.042)(200)$

$v_2 = 5.77 m/s$

Because the soles of your shoes have cleats, you can exert a forward force of 100 N even on slippery ice. A 10-kg picnic cooler

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

you must throw 3 snowballs

Explanation:

We can solve this exercise using the concepts of conservation of the moment, let's define the system as formed by the refrigerator and all the snowballs. Let's write the moment

Initial. Before bumping that refrigerator

p₀ = n m v₀

Where n is the snowball number

Final. When the refrigerator moves

pf = (n m + M) v

The moment is preserved because the forces during the crash are internal

n m v₀ = (n m + M) v

n m (v₀ - v) = M v

n = M/m v/(vo-v)

Let's look for the initial velocity of the balls, suppose the person throws them with the maximum force if it slides in the snow (F = 100N), let's use the second law and Newton

F = m a

a = F / m

The distance the ball travels from zero speed to maximum speed is the extension of the arm (x = 1 m), let's look kinematically for the speed of the balls when leaving the arm

v₁² = v₀² + 2 a x

v₁² = 0+ 2 (100/1) 1

v₁ = 14.14 m / s

This is the initial speed for the crash

v₀ = v = 14.14 m / s

Let's calculate

n = M/m v/ (v₀-v)

n = 10/1 3 / (14.14 -3)

n = 2.7 balls

you must throw 3 snowballs
