Halley's comet last passed perihelion on February 9, 1986. The famous comet's orbit has semimajor axis a = 17.8 AU and eccentricity e = 0.967. Solve Kepler's equation and calculate the quantities E (radians), v= 0 (degrees), and the length of the radius vector r (from the sun, in AU) for July 10, 2015.

For simplicity, take the time of day for all dates to be exactly noon, local time. How does your value of r compare with the actual current position of the comet (no need to compare the current values of E and teta)? What might be a reason for any difference?

I do appreciate it if anyone can help me with this!

A car is parked on a cliff overlooking the ocean on an incline that makes an angle of 19.0° below the horizontal. The negligent driver leaves the car in neutral, and the emergency brakes are defective. The car rolls from rest down the incline with a constant acceleration of 3.06 m/s2 for a distance of 70.0 m to the edge of the cliff, which is 40.0 m above the ocean.

a) Find the car's position relative to the base of the cliff when the car lands in the ocean.

(b) Find the length of time the car is in the air.

Imagine that you are a physician today. You slip through a wormhole and end up in a parallel dimension at a dinner table with Benjamin Rush, Egas Moniz, and, oddly enough, Doctor Oz. In at least 200 words use your perspective as a modern physician (and one who understands the historical context of these respective doctors) to tell them what you think they got right and got wrong about their approaches to health and medicine. In your response, be sure to discuss the role of evidence in your perspective.

b) Jupiter’s four largest moons (the Galilean Moons) are about the same size as Earth’s Moon and are as close as about 628 million kilometres (6.28 × 108 km) from Earth at opposition. Using your answer from part a), calculate the size, in kilometres, of the smallest details the HST can distinguish on their surfaces.

c) Can the HST be used to study a 300-km-diameter crater on the surface of Jupiter’s largest moon, Ganymede? Can the HST be used to study a 50-km-diameter crater on the surface of Ganymede? Justify your answers.

(a) Show that the solar flux densities (irradiances) from the sun, F1 and F2, relate one another as the inverse square of their distances from it, that is: 2 2 1 2 1 F = (r /r ) F .

(b) Use the answer to (a) to solve the following question: The orbit of Mars around the sun is more eccentric than that of the earth. At its closest Mars is 200 million kilometers from the sun, and at its furthest it is 250 million kilometers from the sun. Given that the flux density of solar radiation reaching the earth is 1368 W/m2 and the earth-sun distance is 150 million kilometers, estimate the solar flux density impinging upon Mars at its two extreme distances from the sun. What do these numbers tell you about the likely variations in the mean temperature of the surface of Mars during its passage around the sun?

An ultrasound machine in a hospital uses a sound source at 19.00000MHz.

  1. Assuming that the speed of the ultrasound in the body is same as water (1440 m/s), determine the wavelength in the body.
  2. If blood cells are moving towards the sound source at a speed of 0.8 m/s, at what frequency do the crests of the sound wave pass through the blood cell?
  3. What is the frequency of the sound waves reflected back towards the source by the blood cells?
    1. If the sound level intensity is 17.0 dB at a point d1 = 6.8 cm from the source, what is the sound intensity at that point in W/m2. (We can assume that 0 dB is referenced to 10-12 W/m2).
    2. Assume that sound is emitted from a point source, so that the intensity decreases quadratically with distance. What is the intensity level in dB at a point d2 = 2.0cm from the source?
