Why do outer planets take so long to orbit the sun

Physics
2 answers:
Hoochie [10]2 years ago

Answer:

Because the gravitational pull is weaker, And the outer planets are further away so they have more distance to cover in orbit.

<u>Answer:</u>

Below!

<u>Explanation:</u>

Outer planets have to travel longer distance because as the planet is away from the Sun, the orbit gets larger, which makes it so long to make 1 revolution. Hence, it takes longer time to complete one revolution as the planet is farther away from the Sun.

A spring is used to stop a 50-kg package which is moving down a 20º incline. The spring has a constant k = 30 kN/m and is held b
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

0.3 m

Explanation:

Initially, the package has both gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy.  The spring has elastic energy.  After the package is brought to rest, all the energy is stored in the spring.

Initial energy = final energy

mgh + ½ mv² + ½ kx₁² = ½ kx₂²

Given:

m = 50 kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

h = 8 sin 20º m

v = 2 m/s

k = 30000 N/m

x₁ = 0.05 m

(50)(9.8)(8 sin 20) + ½ (50)(2)² + ½ (30000)(0.05)² = ½ (30000)x₂²

x₂ ≈ 0.314 m

So the spring is compressed 0.314 m from it's natural length.  However, we're asked to find the additional deformation from the original 50mm.

x₂ − x₁

0.314 m − 0.05 m

0.264 m

Rounding to 1 sig-fig, the spring is compressed an additional 0.3 meters.

A rocket is launched at an angle of 53.0° above the horizontal with an initial speed of 103 m/s. The rocket moves for 3.00 s alo
Serggg [28]

Before the engines fail (0\le t\le3.00\,\rm s), the rocket's horizontal and vertical position in the air are

x=\left(103\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\cos53.0^\circ\,t+\dfrac12\left(32.0\,\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\cos53.0^\circ t^2

y=\left(103\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\sin53.0^\circ\,t+\dfrac12\left(32.0\,\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\sin53.0^\circ t^2

and its velocity vector has components

v_x=\left(103\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\cos53.0^\circ+\left(32.0\,\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\cos53.0^\circ t

v_y=\left(103\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\sin53.0^\circ+\left(32.0\,\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\sin53.0^\circ t

After t=3.00\,\rm s, its position is

x=273\,\rm m

y=362\,\rm m

and the rocket's velocity vector has horizontal and vertical components

v_x=120\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}

v_y=159\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}

After the engine failure (t>3.00\,\rm s), the rocket is in freefall and its position is given by

x=273\,\mathrm m+\left(120\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t

y=362\,\mathrm m+\left(159\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t-\dfrac g2t^2

and its velocity vector's components are

v_x=120\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}

v_y=159\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}-gt

where we take g=9.80\,\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}.

a. The maximum altitude occurs at the point during which v_y=0:

159\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}-gt=0\implies t=16.2\,\rm s

At this point, the rocket has an altitude of

362\,\mathrm m+\left(159\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)(16.2\,\rm s)-\dfrac g2(16.2\,\rm s)^2=1650\,\rm m

b. The rocket will eventually fall to the ground at some point after its engines fail. We solve y=0 for t, then add 3 seconds to this time:

362\,\mathrm m+\left(159\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t-\dfrac g2t^2=0\implies t=34.6\,\rm s

So the rocket stays in the air for a total of 37.6\,\rm s.

c. After the engine failure, the rocket traveled for about 34.6 seconds, so we evalute x for this time t:

273\,\mathrm m+\left(120\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)(34.6\,\rm s)=4410\,\rm m

Which type of thermal energy transfer occurs mostly in fluids?
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
The answer is: 

Heat transfer.In order to heat up water there has to be a way that the heat puts energy into the water,which make is rise in temperature. 

I hope this helps :D
