When far from the sun, a comet is like a stone rolling around the universe. But when it approaches the sun, the heat evaporates the comet's gases, causing it to emit dust and micro particles, electrons and ions.

A solid cylinder of mass 7 kg and radius 0.9 m starts from rest at the top of a 20º incline. It is released and rolls without sl
ohaa [14]

Answer:

157.8 J

Explanation:

m = mass of the cylinder = 7 kg

h = height difference in top and bottom of the incline = 2.3 m

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

TE = Total Energy at the bottom

PE = Gravitational potential energy at the top

Using conservation of energy

Total Energy at the bottom = Gravitational potential energy at the top  

TE = PE

TE = m g h

TE = (7) (9.8) (2.3)

TE = 157.8 J

1) Halving the distance (i.s., decreasing by a factor of two) between two charged objects will cause the electrical force betwee
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

For an electric force, F the formula:

F = kQq/r^2

Given:

r2 = 1/2 × r1

F1 × r1 = k

F1 × r1 = F2 × r2

F2 = (F1 × r1^2)/(0.5 × r1)^2

= (F1 × r1^2)/0.25r1^2

= 4 × F1.

A mass is placed at the end of a spring. It has starting velocity of V & allowed to oscillate freely. If the mass has a star
LiRa [457]

Answer:

Equation for SHM can be written

V = w A cos w t        where w is the angular frequency and the velocity is a                                         maximum at t = 0

V1 = w1  A cos w1 t

V2 = w2 A cos w2 t

V2 / V1 = w2 / w1     since cos X t = 1 if t = zero

V2 / V1 = 2 pi f2 / (2 pi f1) = f2 / f1 = T1 / T2

If the velocity is twice as large the period will be 1/2 long
