The speed of Earth is related to the position of its orbit around the Sun. At a higher speed, Earth would need to be closer to the Sun; at a lower speed, it would need to be farther from the Sun. In its current orbit, Earth moves around the Sun at a speed of about 30 km/second. Earth can't get much closer to the Sun (and therefore move faster) than that; for instance, Venus moves around the Sun at a mean speed of about 35 km/second, and it seems that Venus is too close to the Sun for life.

What is the difference between optimum velocity and maximum velocity?

Maximum velocity is the fastest an intem can go, while optimum velocity is the "best" speed it can travel on. For a car optimum velocity could mean either where you get the best MPG, or where you can go round corners/over bumps without the car starting swaying, or something like that.


How do you calculate maximum velocity of a falling object?

Without air, the speed of a falling object keeps increasing, and never reaches a maximum. The only thing that causes it to reach a maximum and stop increasing is air resistance. The effects of air resistance depend on the size, shape, and composition of the object, and the calculation of the "terminal velocity" in advance is very complex.


What factors have an effect on the maximum velocity at which a vehicule is able to travel on a curve that has no incline?

Factors that affect the maximum velocity on a curve with no incline include the radius of the curve, the coefficient of friction between the tires and the road, and the mass of the vehicle. A tighter curve radius, lower friction, or higher vehicle mass will decrease the maximum velocity the vehicle can safely travel around the curve without skidding.


How do you find a final velocity without distance but given time?

Without distance, you have to know time, initial velocity, and acceleration, in order to find final velocity.


Can a body have without velocity?

Yes, but it will have a non-zero velocity afterwards.


20kg mass falls 10m what is maximum velocity?

Starting from rest, the final velocity in a fall of 10 meters is 14 meters per second. Without air resistance, the mass or weight of the falling object makes absolutely no difference.


What is the property that describes a structure's ability to support a load?

Load-bearing capacity describes a structure's ability to support a load. It is the maximum load or force that a structure can withstand without collapsing or failing.


Can you have velocity without acceleration?

Yes, a body can have aceleration without velocity. Consider sin x the position; cos x is the velocity and -sin x is the acceleration. Here the acceleration negative when x=90 degrees and the velocity is zero at 90 degrees.


How can you change only one component of the velocity without changing the speed?

You can change the direction of the velocity without changing the speed. This can be done by adding or subtracting velocity components in different directions, while maintaining the magnitude of the velocity vector.


How do you get the time without final velocity?

To find the time without knowing the final velocity, you need information about the initial velocity, acceleration, and displacement. You can use the kinematic equation: displacement = (initial velocity * time) + (0.5 * acceleration * time^2) to solve for time.


What is anEscape Velocity?

Velocity sufficient for a body to escape from a gravitational attraction without acceleration. Earth has an escape velocity of 11.19 kmsec-1 .


How can you tell an object has moved?

Because of its velocity (velocity is the rate of change of position), an object will move. An object is stationary if it has no velocity because it will not be able to move without velocity. Therefore, you can tell that an object has moved because of velocity.
