The area the radius vector will sweep is 0.889A

According to Kepler's second law, the radius vector <em>sweeps</em> out equal areas in equal times.

Let A = area and t = time period,

According to Kepler's law, A/t = constant

So, A₁/t₁ = A₂/t₂ where A₁ = area the radius vector sweeps at <em>slowest</em> orbital speed = A, t₁ = time period at <em>slowest </em>orbital speed = 45 days, A₂ = area the radius vector sweeps at<em> fastest</em> orbital speed, t₂ = time period at<em> fastest </em>orbital speed = 40 days.

Making A₂ subject of the formula, we have

A₂ = A₁t₂/t₁

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

A₂ = A₁t₂/t₁

A₂ = A × 40 days/45 days

A₂ = A × 40/45

A₂ = A × 8/9

A₂ = A × 0.889

A₂ = 0.889A

So, the area the radius vector will sweep is 0.889A

You are watching an archery tournament when you start wondering how fast an arrow is shot from the bow. Remembering your physics
lianna [129]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<em><u>Velocity of throwing arrow = 43.13 m/s.</u></em>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

In the question,

Let us say the height from which the arrow was shot = h

Distance traveled by the arrow in horizontal = 61 m

Angle made by the arrow with the ground = 2°

So,

From the <u>equations of the motion</u>,

61 =u.t\\t=\frac{61}{u}

Now,

Also,

Finally, the angle made is 2 degrees with the horizontal.

So,

Final horizontal velocity = v.cos20°

Final vertical velocity = v.sin20°

Now,

u = v.cos20° (No acceleration in horizontal)

Also,

v=u+at\\vsin20=0+9.8(t)\\t=\frac{v.sin20}{9.8}

So,

We can say that,

\frac{v.sin20}{9.8}=\frac{61}{v.cos20}\\v^{2}.sin20.cos20=597.8\\v^{2}=1860.56\\v=43.13\,m/s

<em><u>Therefore, the velocity with which the arrow was shot by the archer is 43.13 m/s.</u></em>

Getting it right because you do not want to spread false information. To be first isnt always the best, sure you might feel better being the first, but you won’t always get it right.

What is the angle of the 2nd order bright fringe produced by two slits that are 8.25x10-5m apart if the wavelength of the incide
dexar [7]

In order to calculate the angle, we can use the formula below for a constructive interference (the interference is constructive because the fringe is bright):

d\sin\theta=m\lambda

Where d is the distance between the slits, m is the order of the interference and lambda is the wavelength.

So, using d = 8.25 * 10^-5, m = 2 and lambda = 4.5 * 10^-7, we have:

\begin{gathered} 8.25\cdot10^{-5}\cdot\sin\theta=2\cdot4.5\cdot10^{-7}\\ \\ \sin\theta=\frac{9\cdot10^{-7}}{8.25\cdot10^{-5}}\\ \\ \sin\theta=1.091\cdot10^{-2}\\ \\ \theta=0.625° \end{gathered}

Therefore the correct option is the second one.

What happens to a current when the electric field in the wire increase
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

If the voltage is increased then the electric field is higher, and electron velocity (average) is proportional to this field. Then you have an increase in speed. And current is total charge passing per time unit, so current is proportional to velocity value of charge (and to voltage in resistors and wire).
