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

A cannon is mounted on a tower above a wide, level field. The barrel of the cannon is 20 m above the ground below. A cannonball
OLga [1]

<u>Answer:</u>

  Cannonball will be in flight before it hits the ground for 2.02 seconds

<u>Explanation:</u>

  Initial height from ground = 20 meter.

  We have equation of motion , s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2, s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

  In this the velocity of body in vertical direction = 0 m/s, acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2, we need to calculate time when s = 20 meter.

  Substituting

         20=0*t+\frac{1}{2} *9.8*t^2\\ \\ t = 2.02 seconds

  So it will take 2.02 seconds to reach ground.

A car rounds a curve. The radius of curvature of the road is R, the banking angle with respect to the horizontal is θ and the co
exis [7]

Answer:

v = √[gR (sin θ - μcos θ)]

Explanation:

The free body diagram for the car is presented in the attached image to this answer.

The forces acting on the car include the weight of the car, the normal reaction of the plane on the car, the frictional force on the car and the net force on the car which is the centripetal force on the car keeping it in circular motion without slipping.

Resolving the weight into the axis parallel and perpendicular to the inclined plane,

N = mg cos θ

And the component parallel to the inclined plane that slides the body down the plane at rest = mg sin θ

Frictional force = Fr = μN = μmg cos θ

Centripetal force responsible for keeping the car in circular motion = (mv²/R)

So, a force balance in the plane parallel to the inclined plane shows that

Centripetal force = (mg sin θ - Fr) (since the car slides down the plane at rest, (mg sin θ) is greater than the frictional force)

(mv²/R) = (mg sin θ - μmg cos θ)

v² = R(g sin θ - μg cos θ)

v² = gR (sin θ - μcos θ)

v = √[gR (sin θ - μcos θ)]

Hope this Helps!!!

Consider two ideal gases, A and B, at the same temperature. The rms speed of the molecules of gas A is twice that ofgas B. How d
katen-ka-za [31]

The rms speed of the molecules of gas A is twice that of gas B. The molecular mass of A is one fourth to that of B.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

Measuring the speed of particles at a given point in time results in a large distribution of values. Some molecules can move very slowly, others very fast, and because they are still moving in different directions, the speeds may be zero. (Velocity, vector quantity that corresponds to the speed and direction of the molecule.)

To correctly estimate the average velocity, you must take the squares of the mean velocity and take the square root of this value. This is known as the root mean square (rms) velocity and is shown as follows:

                 V_{r m s}=\sqrt{\frac{3 R T}{M}}

Where,

M – Gas’s molar mass

R – Molar mass constant

T – Temperature (in Kelvin)

Given data is rms speed for gas molecule A is twice that of gas molecule B. So,

                 \left(V_{r m s}\right)_{A}=2\left(V_{r m s}\right)_{B}

Therefore, equating the molecule’s rms speed formula for both A and B,

                  \sqrt{\frac{3 R T}{M_{A}}}=2(\sqrt{\frac{3 R T}{M_{B}}})

On squaring both sides, we get,

                 \frac{3 R T}{M_{A}}=4\left(\frac{3 R T}{M_{B}}\right)

By solving the above equations, we get,

                 M_{A}=\frac{M_{B}}{4}
