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

How high does a rocket have to go above Earth's surface before its weight is half of what it is on Earth?
Contact [7]

Answer:

h=1.6\times 10^6\ m

Explanation:

As we know that the acceleration due to gravity decreases with height.

At certain height it will get to the half of its value on the surface of the earth.

As we know that the weight on the surface of the earth is given as:

w=m.g

where:

m = mass of the object

g = acceleration due to gravity of the substance

Since mass of the substance is constant so the variation is weight is possible only due to change in the acceleration due to gravity.

<u>We know that the variation of the acceleration due gravity with height is given as:</u>

g_{_h}=g\times (1-\frac{2h}{R} )

where:

g_{_h}= value to acceleration due to gravity at height h

g = acceleration due to gravity at the earth's surface

h = height of the object

R = radius of the earth = 6400\ km

according to question the weight becomes half, so,:

4.9=9.8\times (1-\frac{2h}{6400\times10^3} )

h=1.6\times 10^6\ m is the height a rocket has to go above Earth's surface before its weight is half of what it is on Earth.

Would this be Newtons 1st, 2nd, or 3rd law​
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

Newton's First Law of Motion.

Explanation:

Newton's First Law of Motion states that a body continues its state of motion untill and unless an external force acts on it. Here, the truck moves forward even after the breaks are applied in order to maintain its State of motion.

A child is on a sled moving down a hill at 27.6 m/s. The combined mass of the sled and child is 60.6 kg. The momentum of the chi
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

<h2>1672 kgm/s</h2>

Explanation:

The momentum of an object can be found by using the formula

momentum = mass × velocity

From the question we have

momentum = 60.6 × 27.6

<h3>1672.56 kg.m/s</h3>

Hope this helps you

Which term is defined by the force that moving, charged particles exert on one another?
Lisa [10]

Answer:

Electromagnetic force

Explanation:

There are four fundamental forces in nature:

- Gravity: it is the force that is exerted between any objects with mass. It is the weakest of all forces, so it is only relevant at planetary scales. It is always attractive, and it has an infinite range.

- Electromagnetic force: it is the force exerted between charged objects and between magnets (it is responsible for electric fields and magnetic fields). It is the 2nd strongest force, and it is the force that holds atoms in a molecule together. It can be attractive or repulsive, and it has an infinite range.

- Strong nuclear force: it is the strongest of all forces. It is responsible for holding the nucleons together inside the nucleus, and it is attractive. It has a very limited range (10^{-15}m), so it is relevant only at very small scales

- Weak nuclear force: it is the force responsible for radioactive decays and neutrino interactions. It also has a very short range (10^{-18} m

Looking at all these definitions, we see that the term that defines the force that acts between charged particles is the electromagnetic force.
