Answer: A planet orbit is a gravitationally curved path that a celestial body travels around a point in space.

Explanation:

We define planet orbit as the path that a planet (or any other celestial object) has around two focal points (the orbit is an ellipse, the ellipses have two focal points). For example, the moon's orbit is around the Earth is almost circular, while Earth orbit is less circular. This movement is caused by the strong gravitational attraction of the sun, that keeps all the planets fixed in the orbits, this is why this is called a "gravitationally curved path".

the correct option is planet orbit.

Vector vector a has a magnitude of 29 units and points in the positive y-direction. when vector vector b is added to vector a ,
Nutka1998 [239]
Good morning.

We have:

\mathsf{\overset{\to}{a} = 29\overset{\to}{j}}

Where j is the unitary vector in the direction of the y-axis.

We have that 

\mathsf{\overset{\to}{a}+\overset{\to}{b} = -18\overset{\to}{j}}

We add the vector -a to both sides:

\mathsf{\overset{\to}{b} = -18\overset{\to}{j} -\overset{\to}{a} = -18\overset{\to}{j} -29\overset{\to}{j}}\\ \\ \mathsf{\overset{\to}{b}=-47\overset{\to}{j}}


Therefore, the magnitude of b is 47 units.

If a 80kg diver jumps off of a 5 m high dive into a regulation diving pool, how much should the temperature of the pool go up?
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

The answer cannot be determined.

Explanation:

The energy of the diver when he hits the pool will be equal to its potential energy mgh, and for the temperature of the pool to rise up, this energy has to be converted into the heat energy of the pool.

The change in temperature {\Delta}T then will be

{\Delta}T=\frac{{\Delta}Q}{mc} .

Where m is the mass of water in the pool, c is the specific heat capacity of water, and {\Delta}Q is the added heat which in this case is the energy of the diver.

Since we do not know the mass of the water in the pool, we cannot make this calculation.
