A)some comets are in highly elongated orbits that come very close to the sun at perihelion. the distance from one such comet to the center of the sun is 6.00×10^9m at perihelion and 3.00×10^12m at aphelion. for this comet's orbit, find the semi-major axis. b)in 2017 astronomers discovered a planet orbiting the star hats-43. the orbit of the planet around hats-43 has semi-major axis 7.41×109m, eccentricity 0.173, and period 4.39 days. find the distance between hats-43 and the planet at its closest approach. express your answer with the appropriate units

Acylinder with a movable piston contains 11.7 moles of a monatomic ideal gas at a pressure of 1.32×10^5 pa. the gas is initially at a temperature of 300 k. an electric heater adds 43200 j of energy into the gas while the piston moves in such a way that the pressure remains constant. cp=20.79 j k^−1 mol^−1 for a monatomic ideal gas, and that the number of gas molecules is equal to avogadro's number (6.022×10^23) times the number of moles of the gas. (a) what is the temperature of the gas after the energy is added? (b) what is the change in volume of the gas? (c) how much work is done by the gas during this process?

In a set amount of time, a battery supplies 25j of energy to an electric circuit that includes two different loads. one of the loads produces 10 j of heat energy during this time interval. how much heat energy is produced by the second load in this time? explain your answer

Which of these activities increases the amount of carbon in the atmosphere?
