Retrograde. Planets seem to move forward and then backward sometimes. This is really because we pass them as we move in our orbit but astronomers wanted to try to describe the solar system with earth at the center so elaborate models were employed.

seropon [69]
The boat is moving at 22 m/s while the man is moving at 23.1 m/s.

That means the man, relative to the boat, is moving at 23.1-22 = 1.1 m/s.

v =d/t, so t = d/v --> t = 3/1.1 = 2.7 s

Mercury has a radial acceleration of 3.96 × 10−2 m/s2 and its orbital period is T = 88 days. What is the radius of Mercury’s orb
Maslowich

Answer: 58,045,522,878.8 meters

Explanation:

Ok, the data we have is

Period = T = 88 days

Radial acceleration = ar = 3.96x10^-2 m/s^2

And we know that the equation for the radial acceleration is:

ar = v^2/r = r*w^2

Where v is the velocity. r is the radius and w is the angular velocity.

And we know that:

w = 2*pi*f

where f is the frequency, and:

T = 1/f.

Then we can write:

w = 2*pi/T

and our equation becomes:

ar = r*(2*pi/T)^2

Now we solve this for r.

First we need to use the same units in both equations, so we want to write T in seconds.

T = 88 days,

A day has 24 hours, and one hour has 3600 seconds:

T = 88*24*3600 s =7,603,200s

Then:

3.96x10^-2 m/s^2 = r*(2*3.14/7,603,200s)^2

r = (3.96x10^-2 m/s^2) /(2*3.14/7,603,200s)^2 = 58,045,522,878.8 meters

Based on the law of conservation of energy, how can we reasonably improve a machine’s ability to do work?
kifflom [539]
Based on the law of conservation of energy, we know that we can't create energy, machines can only convert one type of energy into another. So, if we want to improve a machines's ability then we need to reduce it's loss energy (part of energy which is useless). Out of all the options only Option C fits best with it.

In short, Your Answer would be Option C

Hope this helps!
