Not sure this is entirely right but hey why not, right. <span> A planet orbiting a star orbits in an ellipse. Sometimes it's closer to the star and sometimes it's further. When it's closer to the star, the gravity on the planet from the star is stronger, so the planet speeds up. The area the planet sweeps over is equal because when it speeds up the length covered along the orbital path is greater, but it is also closer to the star, and that dimension is decreased. And because of our very intelligently designed and organized universe, these two factors cancel each other out perfectly </span>
<span>Hope I helped in some way!

Answer:

Since there is no torque on the planet with respect to position of Sun

So the angular momentum of the planet is always constant

hence the rate of change in area with respect to sun is always constant

Explanation:

As we know that rate of area swept by the planet is given as

v_a = \frac{dA}{dt}

here we know that small area swept by the planet is given as

dA = \frac{1}{2}r^2\theta

now rate of area swept by the planet is given as

\frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{1}{2}r^2\frac{d\theta}{dt}

\frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{1}{2}r^2\omega

so we have

\frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{1}{2m}(mr^2\omega)

here we know that angular momentum of the planet with respect to sun is given as

L = mr^2\omega

so we have

\frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{L}{2m}

since we know that there is no torque on the system of planet with respect to sun

So angular momentum of the planet will remain constant

hence we can say

\frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{L}{2m} = constant always

Which of the following is an example of an object that could have a net force greater than zero acting on it?

Set the initial bead height to 3.00 m. Click Play. Notice that the ball makes an entire loop. What is the minimum height require
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

h> 2R

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use the conservation of energy relations

starting point. Before releasing the ball

       Em₀ = U = m g h

Final point. In the highest part of the loop

       Em_f = K + U = ½ m v² + ½ I w² + m g (2R)

where R is the radius of the curl, we are considering the ball as a point body.

      I = m R²

      v = w R

we substitute

       Em_f = ½ m v² + ½ m R² (v/R) ² + 2 m g R

       em_f = m v² + 2 m g R

Energy is conserved

       Emo = Em_f

       mgh = m v² + 2m g R

       h = v² / g + 2R

 

The lowest velocity that the ball can have at the top of the loop is v> 0

      h> 2R

The graph below shows the speed of a car as it drives along a racetrack.
nordsb [41]

Answer:

Average speed = distance/time

From 1 to 9 seconds:

Distance covered = 1 - 0.2 = 0.8 km

Time = 9 - 1 = 8 sec

Average speed = 0.8 km / 8 sec

Average speed = 0.1 km/s .

The average speed for the whole test is 1.6 km / 20 sec = 0.08 km/sec. A graph of speed vs time would average out as a horizontal line at 0.08 km/sec from 1 sec to 21 sec. The area under it would be (0.08 km/s) x (20 sec) = 1.6 km.

Surprise surprise ! The area under a speed/time graph is the distance covered during that time !

In closing, I want to express my gratitude for the gracious bounty of 3 points with which I have been showered. Moreover, the green breadcrust and tepid cloudy water have also been refreshing.
