Answer:

When it's closest to the sun.

Explanation:

The force of gravity acting on a planet is equal to its mass times its centripetal acceleration.

Fg = m v^2 / r

The force of gravity is defined by Newton's law of universal gravitation as:

Fg = mMG / r^2

Therefore:

mMG / r^2 = m v^2 / r

MG / r = v^2

v increases as r decreases.  So the planet is moving fastest when it's closest to the sun, also known as the <em>perihelion</em>.

In this problem, you will apply kinematic equations to a jumping flea. Take the magnitude of free-fall acceleration to be 9.80 m
leonid [27]

The initial velocity used by the flea to jump straight upward is 3.1 m/s

<h3>Data obtained from the question</h3>

The following data were obtained from the question:

  • Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Maximum height (h) = 0.49 m
  • Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s (at maximum height)
  • Initial velocity (u) =?

<h3>How to determine the initial velocity</h3>

The initial velocity used by the flea to jump upward can be obtained as follow:

v² = u² – 2gh (since the ball is going against gravity)

0² = u² – (2 × 9.8 × 0.49)

0 = u² – 9.604

Collect like terms

u² = 0 + 9.604

u² = 9.604

Take the square root of both sides

u = √9.604

u = 3.1 m/s

Thus, the initial velocity is 3.1 m/s

PLEASE HELP The graph shows the amplitude of a passing wave over time in seconds (s). What is the approximate frequency of the w
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

F = 0.3\ Hz

Explanation:

Given

See attachment for the graph

Required

Determine the frequency

Frequency (F) is calculated as:

F = \frac{1}{T}

Where

T = Time to complete a period

From the attachment, the wave complete a cycle or period in 3 seconds..

So:

F = \frac{1}{3s}

F = 0.333\ Hz

F = 0.3\ Hz --- Approximated

Why did Aristotle's geocentric theory fail to match the expected predictions?
NNADVOKAT [17]

Aristotle's geocentric theory failed to match the expected predictions because a few celestial objects appear to have retrograde motion.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

Aristotle’s theory states that all the bodies in universe rotate around the earth, and earth is located at the centre. But, the most serious challenge it was given was that, the difference found in the paths of revolution of mercury and Venus. They are revolving around the sun, and not the earth, periodically.

This is the significant drawback, and major factor for the Copernicus and the other models to be achieved. The mercury and Venus, closest planets to earth, and the sun too, are not following the earth’s path. And hence, upon studying clearly, all celestial bodies do not follow a path round the earth, but around a fireball, that is sun.
