Suppose the Sun moved twice the distance from Earth. Describe immediate and future changes to our planet. Justify your reasoning

Our year would now be 2.8 times longer, we would also be receiving only 1/4 of the energy from the sun that we currently do. This means that we’d now be out beyond the orbit of Mars and right at the edge of the asteroid belt, and things would rapidly get very cold with temperatures expected to drop by around 50 degrees Celsius on average, and that’s with our current atmospheric composition which would not be stable in the new conditions. And also, any living thing on earth would die.

the 200 g baseball has a horizontal velocity of 30 m/s when it is struck by the bat, B, weighing 900 g, moving at 47 m/s. during

Ivanshal [37]

Solution :

Given :

Mass of the baseball, m = 200 g

Velocity of the baseball, u = -30 m/s

Mass of the baseball after struck by the bat, M = 900 g

Velocity of the baseball after struck by the bat, v = 47 m/s

According to the conservation of momentum,

$Mv+mu=Mv_1+mv_2$

(900 x 47) + (200 x -30) = (900 x $v_1$ ) + (200 x $v_2$ )

36300 = (900 x $v_1$ ) + (200 x $v_2$ )

$9v_1 + 2v_2 = 363$ ..............(i)

$9v_1 = 363 - 2v_2$

$v_1=\frac{363 - 2v_2}{9}$

The mathematical expression for the conservation of kinetic energy is

$\frac{1}{2}Mv^2+\frac{1}{2}mu^2 = \frac{1}{2}Mv_1^2+\frac{1}{2}mv_2^2$

$\frac{1}{2}(900)(47)^2+\frac{1}{2}(200)(-30)^2 = \frac{1}{2}(900)v_1^2+\frac{1}{2}(200)v_2^2$ ................(ii)

$(9)(14)^2+(2)(-30)^2 = (9)v_1^2+2v_2^2$

$21681 = 9v_1^2+2v_2^2$

Substituting (i) in (ii)

$21681= 9\left( \frac{363-2v_2}{9}\right)^2+2v_2^2$

$(363-2v_2)^2+18v_2^2=195129$

$(363)^2+18v_2^2-2(363)(2v_2)+(363)^2-195129=0$

$22v_2^2-145v_2-63360=0$

Solving the equation, we get

$v_2=96 \ m/s, -30 \ m/s$

The negative velocity is neglected.

Therefore, substituting 96 m/s for $v_2$ in (i), we get

$v_1=\frac{363-(2 \times 96)}{9}$

= 19

Thus, only impulse of importance is used to find final velocity.

The statement that best describes the production of energy in the Sun is nuclei with less mass combine to form nuclei with more mass in the Sun’s core and release energy.

<h3>How is energy produced in the sun?</h3>

Sun is a major source of renewable energy to the Earth. This energy serves various purposes by living organisms.

However, the energy is generated as a result of nuclear fusion, which is the combination of smaller particles to form a larger one.

Therefore, the statement that best describes the production of energy in the Sun is nuclei with less mass combine to form nuclei with more mass in the Sun’s core and release energy.

Answer:

Explanation:

We will use the KE equation you wrote here and fill in what we are given:

$36=\frac{1}{2}m(12)^2$ and isolating the m:

$m=\frac{2(36)}{12^2}$ which gives us

m = .50 kg
