Answer

D. The acceleration vector of the planet points towards the center of the circle.

Explanation

For planetary motion , the velocity vector is always in a direction that is tangential to the direction of motion, not towards the center. Even though the speed of the planet may stay constant, it's velocity changes because it is constantly changing it's direction.

The centripetal force, which in this case is the force of gravity always points in the direction of the the center. The acceleration  vector always points in the direction of the of the center of the circle just like the centripetal force.

Why do your feet feel colder stepping on ceramic tiles than on carpet?
gregori [183]

Answer:

Option B

Tile is a good conductor : a carpet is a good insulator

Explanation:

When the feet comes in contact with the tile, the tile conducts heat from the body making one to feel cold. However, since carpet is made of insulators such as cotton, they don't conduct heat, therefore, it slows down the flow of the heat which would make it feel warm so our feet do not feel much more colder as it does with the tiles.
