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

3. A 4.1 x 10-15 C charge is able to pick up a bit of paper when it is initially 1.0 cm above the paper. Assume an induced charg
Anni [7]

Answer:

\mathbf{1.51\times10^{-15}N}

Explanation:

The computation of the weight of the paper in newtons is shown below:

On the paper, the induced charge is of the same magnitude as on the initial charges and in sign opposite.

Therefore the paper charge is

q_{paper}=-4.1\times10^{-15}C

Now the distance from the charge is

r=1cm=0.01m

Now, to raise the paper, the weight of the paper acting downwards needs to be managed by the electrostatic force of attraction between both the paper and the charge, i.e.

mg=\frac{k_{e}q_{1}q_{2}}{r^{2}}

\Rightarrow W=mg

=\frac{9\times10^{9}\times(4.1\times10^{-15})^{2}}{0.01^{2}}

=\mathbf{1.51\times10^{-15}N}

Two conducting spheres, one having twice the diameter of the other, are separated by a distance that is large compared to their
Snezhnost [94]

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When these two conducting spheres are connected together through a thin wire then charge from the smaller sphere will travel through the wire. And, this charge will continue to travel towards the neutral sphere until the charge on both the spheres will become equal to each other.

For example, charge on small sphere is 5 C then this charge will continue to travel towards the neutral sphere until its charge also becomes equal to 5 C.

Hence, then their potential will also become equal.

Thus, we can conclude that the spheres are connected by a long, thin wire, then after a sufficiently long time the two spheres are at the same potential.

A rectangular loop of wire with length a=2.2 cm, width b=0.80 cm,and resistance R=0.40m ohms is placed near an infinitely long w
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

magnetic flux ΦB = 0.450324 ×10^{-7}  weber

current I = 1.02484 10^{-8}  A

Explanation:

Given data

length a = 2.2 cm = 0.022 m

width b = 0.80 cm = 0.008 m

Resistance R = 0.40 ohms

current I = 4.7 A

speed v = 3.2 mm/s = 0.0032 m/s

distance r = 1.5 b = 1.5 (0.008) = 0.012

to find out

magnitude of magnetic flux and the current induced

solution

we will find magnitude of magnetic flux thorough this formula that is

ΦB = ( μ I(a) /2 π ) ln [(r + b/2 ) /( r -b/2)]

here μ is 4π ×10^{-7} put all value

ΦB = (4π ×10^{-7}  4.7 (0.022) /2 π ) ln [(0.012+ 0.008/2 ) /( 0.012 -0.008/2)]

ΦB = 0.450324 ×10^{-7}  weber

and

current induced is

current =  ε / R

current = μ I(a) bv / 2πR [(r² ) - (b/2 )² ]

put all value

current = μ I(a) bv / 2πR [(r² ) - (b/2 )² ]

current = 4π ×10^{-7} (4.7) (0.022) (0.008) (0.0032) /  2π(0.40) [(0.012² ) - (0.008/2 )² ]

current = 1.02484 10^{-8}  A

A 2300 kg truck has put its front bumper against the rear bumper of a 2500 kg suv to give it a push. with the engine at full pow
Snowcat [4.5K]

From the Newton’s First Law, we can see that acceleration is simply the ratio of Force over mass. In this case, mass is the sum of the mass of each car, that is:

mass = 2300 kg + 2500 kg = 4800 kg

 

So the formula is:

acceleration = Force / mass

acceleration = 18,000 N / 4800 kg

acceleration = 3.75 m/s^2

 

In 2 significant figures:

<span>acceleration = 3.8 m/s^2</span>

An ideal gas at temperature t0 is slowly compressed at constant pressure of 2 atm from a volume of 10 liters to a volume of 2 li
Sati [7]
<span>Answer: 1600 J

Explanation:

1) Data:

a) ideal gas: ⇒ pV = nRT and work = ∫ pdV
b) slowly compressed ⇒ constant temperature and not heat exchange
c) pressure: p =  2 atm
d) intitial volume: Vi = 10 liters
e) final volumen: Vf = 2 liters.
f) then the volume of the gas is held constant ⇒ not work in this stage.
g) calculate the work done on the gas: W = ?

2) Equation

W = ∫pdV

3) Solution:

Since p = constant,  W = p ∫dV = p ΔV = p (Vf - Vi)

p = 2 atm × 1.0 ×10⁵ Pa / atm = 200.000 Pa

Vi = 10 liter ×  0.001 m³ ./ liter = 0.01 m³

Vf = 2 liter × 0.001 m³ / liter = 0.002 m³

W = 200.000 Pa × (0.002 m³ - 0.01m³) = - 1.600 J.

The negative sign means the work is done over the system.

That is all the work in the system because at the second stage the volume is held constant.
