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

Which identifies a machine that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy?
yKpoI14uk [10]
The answer is the option c. generator. Generator is a machine that converts mechanical energy into electricity. The way it is made is because the mechanical movement may be transformed in rotation of magnets placed inside a coiled wire, and this induces the movement of electrons through the coiled wire. As you know electricity is the flow of electrons.

Find the resultant force of the following forces :
bezimeni [28]

The resultant of the given forces is; 6√2 N

<h3>How to find the resultant of forces</h3>

We are given the forces as;

10 N along the x-axis which is +10 N in the x-direction

6 N along the y-axis which is +6N in the y-direction

4 N along the negative x-axis which is -4N

Thus;

Resultant force in the x-direction is; 10 - 4 = 6N

Resultant force in the y-direction is; 6N

Thus;

Total resultant force = √(6² + 6²)

Total resultant force = 6√2 N

Can anyone help me to explain theory of relativity??? ​
OLga [1]

Answer:

The theory of relativity usually encompasses two interrelated theories by Albert Einstein: special relativity and general relativity, proposed and published in 1905 and 1915, respectively. Special relativity applies to all physical phenomena in the absence of gravity. General relativity explains the law of gravitation and its relation to other forces of nature.It applies to the cosmological and astrophysical realm, including astronomy.

The theory transformed theoretical physics and astronomy during the 20th century, superseding a 200-year-old theory of mechanics created primarily by Isaac Newton. It introduced concepts including spacetime as a unified entity of space and time, relativity of simultaneity, kinematic and gravitational time dilation, and length contraction. In the field of physics, relativity improved the science of elementary particles and their fundamental interactions, along with ushering in the nuclear age. With relativity, cosmology and astrophysics predicted extraordinary astronomical phenomena such as neutron stars, black holes, and gravitational waves
