Answer:

Earth's orbit is elliptical

Explanation:

The earth's orbit is not a straight circle and the sun is not in the very center of it. The orbit is more of a wonky oval with the sun closer to one side of it than the other causing the earth's distance from the sun to vary throughout the year.

Because the planets (and everything else in the solar system) don't travel in circular orbits with the sun at the center of the circle.  

They travel in elliptical orbits, with the sun at one focus of the ellipse.

Different points on the ellipse have different distances from the focus where the sun is.

seraphim [82]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

C = (F-32)*5/9 = 73*5/9 = 40.55555

since the answers are spread apart, technically you can just estimate by doing -32

and then /2

since 5/9 is close to 1/2

If I work out rotational energy to be 102.2J which equals kg.M/s^2, and I hadn't factored time into it, would that be Joules per
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

0.057 joules is needed to create the total rotational energy each second.

Explanation:

The energy rate is the ratio of total energy to time, which coincides with the definition of power at constant rate:

\dot W = \frac{\Delta E}{\Delta t}

\dot W = \frac{102.2\,J}{\left(30\,min\right)\cdot \left(60\,\frac{s}{min} \right)}

\dot W = 0.057\,\frac{J}{s}

\dot W = 0.057\,W

0.057 joules is needed to create the total rotational energy each second.
