Answer: The comet's average distance from the sun is 17.6AU

Explanation:

From Kepler's 3rd Law, P^2=a^3

Where P is period in years

and a is length of semi-major axis or the average distance of the comet to the sun.

Given the orbital period to be 74 years

74^2 =a^3

5476 = a^3

Cube root of 5476 =a

17.626 = a

Approximately a= 17.6 AU

In the ENGR 10 lab (E391), there are 50 long light bulbs (P=100 W) and 30 regular bulbs (P=60 W). How much energy is consumed li
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Total energy saving will be 0.8 KWH

Explanation:

We have given there are 50 long light bulbs of power 100 W so total power of 50 bulb = 100×50 = 5000 W = 5 KW

30 bulbs are of power 60 W

So total power of 30 bulbs = 30×60 = 1800 W = 1.8 KW

Total power of 80 bulbs = 1.8+5 = 6.8 KW

Total time = 3 hour

We know that energy E=power\times time=6.8\times 3=20.4KWH

Now power of each CFL bulb = 25 W

So power of 80 bulbs = 80×25 = 2000 W = 2 KW

Energy of 80 bulbs = 2×3 = 6 KWH

So total energy saving = 6.8-6 = 0.8 KWH

A FBD of a rocket launching into space should include:
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

Explanation:

the force of the rocket engine pushing it up,  the force of gravity pulling it down,    maybe some force of air resistance as the rocket goes fast,   hmmm    Free Body Diagrams  (FBD)  should have any and all forces on the model,  unless they are negligible . or so slight they really make little difference in the total  outcome.

Your latest invention is a car alarm that produces sound at a particularly annoying frequency of 3600 Hz . To do this, the car a
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

The capacitance and the inductance can choose for a car-alarm circuit are

C = 215.27 μF

L = 9.078 μH

Explanation:

V =12.0 V, E = 1.55*10^2 J, f = 3600 Hz

To determine the capacitance can use the equation

U_c= \frac{1}{2}*C*V^2

Solve to C'

C = \frac{U_c*2}{V^2}=\frac{1.55x10^2J*2}{12.0^2V}

C=215.27 uF

To find the inductance can use the frequency of the circuit

f = \frac{1}{2\pi* \sqrt{C*L} }

Solve to L'

L = \frac{1}{4\pi^2*f^2*C}=\frac{1}{4\pi^2*3600^2*215.27 uF}}

L = 9.078 uH

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

B_o = 1.013μT

Explanation:

To find B_o you take into account the formula for the emf:

\epsilon=-\frac{d\Phi_b}{dt}=-\frac{dBAcos\theta}{dt}=-Acos\theta\frac{dB}{dt}

where you used that A (area of the loop) is constant, an also the angle between the direction of B and the normal to A.

By applying the derivative you obtain:

\epsilon=-Acos\theta (2\pi f) B_ocos(2\pi f t+ \alpha)

when the emf is maximum the angle between B and the normal to A is zero, that is, cosθ = 1 or -1. Furthermore the cos function is 1 or -1. Hence:

\epsilon=2\pi fAB_o=2\pi (100*10^3Hz)(\pi (0.1m)^2)B_o=19739.20Hzm^2B_o\\\\B_o=\frac{20*10^{-3}V}{19739.20Hzm^2}=1.013*10^{-6}T=1.013\mu T

hence, B_o = 1.013μT
