Answer:

D. x²/1953²  + y²/ 1466² = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

==>Given:

Radius of spherical moon = 1000km

Distance of satellite from moon surface = 953km to 466km

==>Required:

Derived equation of ellipse

==>Solution:

The formula for driving an equation of ellipse is given as:

x²/a² + y²/b² = 1

Where,

a = length of the semi-major axis, while,

b = length of the semi-major axis

Since we are told that the satellite distance to the surface of the moon varies from 953km to 466km, values of a and b is calculated by summing each length to the radius of the moon as follows:

a = radius of moon + the larger distance of the satellite = 1000+953 = 1,953km

b = radius of moon + the smaller distance of the satellite = 1000+466 = 1,466km

Thus, the equation of the ellipse would be:

x²/1953²  + y²/ 1466² = 1

Raju covers a certain distance in 1 hour and sham covers the same distance in 2 hours , who travels in a higher speed?
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer: Raju travels at a higher speed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed =\dfrac{Distance}{Time}

Speed inversely proportional to time.

As time taken to cover a particular distance decreases the speed will increase.

Raju covers a certain distance in 1 hour.

Sham covers the same distance in 2 hours.

1< 2

Thus Raju travels at a higher speed.
