<h2>Answer: Earth's orbital path around the Sun</h2><h2></h2>

The <u>Ecliptic</u> refers to the orbit of the Earth around the Sun. Therefore, <u>for an observer on Earth it will be the apparent path of the Sun in the sky during the year, with respect to the "immobile background" of the other stars.</u>

<u />

It should be noted that the ecliptic plane (which is the same orbital plane of the Earth in its translation movement) is tilted with respect to the equator of the planet about 23\° approximately. This is due to the inclination of the Earth's axis.

Hence, the correct option is Earth's orbital path around the Sun.

A charge alters the space around it. What is this alteration of space called? Electric ether Electric Force Electric field Charg
ycow [4]

Explanation:

A charge alters the space around it. This alteration of space is called the electric field. It is also defined as the electric force acting on a charged particle per unit test charge. It is given by :

E=\dfrac{F}{q}

Where

F is the electric force, F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

The direction of electric field is in the direction of electric force. For a positive charge, the direction of electric field lines are outwards and for a negative charge, the direction of field lines are inwards.

Hence, the correct option is (c) "electric field".

A block of mass 200g is oscillating on the end of a horizontal spring of spring constant 100 N/m and natural length 12 cm. When
malfutka [58]

In order to determine the acceleration of the block, use the following formula:

F=ma

Moreover, remind that for an object attached to a spring the magnitude of the force acting over a mass is given by:

F=kx

Then, you have:

ma=kx

by solving for a, you obtain:

a=\frac{kx}{m}

In this case, you have:

k: spring constant = 100N/m

m: mass of the block = 200g = 0.2kg

x: distance related to the equilibrium position = 14cm - 12cm = 2cm = 0.02m

Replace the previous values of the parameters into the expression for a:

a=\frac{(\frac{100N}{m})(0.02m)}{0.2\operatorname{kg}}=10\frac{m}{s^2}

Hence, the acceleration of the block is 10 m/s^2

Asteroids are between 1000 km and less than 10 m in diameter. What is the diameter of most asteroids?
e-lub [12.9K]

This question needs research to be answered. From the given information alone it can't be answered without making wild assumptions.

Ideally, you need to take a look at a distribution (or a histogram) of asteroid diameters, identify the "mode" of such a distribution, and find the corresponding diameter. That value will be the answer.

I am attaching one such histogram on asteroid diameters from the IRAS asteroid catalog I could find online. (In order to get a single histogram, you need to add the individual curves in the figure first). Eyeballing this sample, I'd say the mode is somewhere around 10km, so the answer would be: the diameter of most asteroid from the IRAS asteroid catalog is about 10km.

A rock dropped on the moon will increase it's speed from 0 m/s to 8.15 m/s in about 5 seconds what is the acceleration of the ro
Lunna [17]

Using the formula:


a = (Vf - Vi) / t


Our initial velocity is 0 m/s, and our final velocity is 8.15 m/s, with a time period of 5 seconds:


a = (8.15 - 0.0) / 5

a = 1.63 m/s^2


If you know the acceleration due to gravity on the Moon, you can confirm this answer. The recorded gravitational acceleration on the Moon is 1.62 m/s^2.
