Velocity is a vector quantity which has both magnitude and direction. ... Net force is also a vector quantity which has both mag

nitude and direction. Using complete sentences, describe the net force acting upon the object during the course of the elliptical orbit. Comment on both the magnitude and the direction.

When the object is moving in the elliptical orbit, it means that the direction of its acceleration should be towards the two foci (plural of focus) of the ellipse to keep the elliptical motion. As force according to the Newton's second law: F = ma, the net force must be in the direction of the acceleration. As far as the magnitude of net force is concerned, you can use Newton's gravitational law to find its magnitude.

The net force on an object moving in an elliptical path is the gravitational force. The force vector always points towards the object being orbited by the object following the elliptical orbit. In the case of the sun and earth, the force vector will always point towards the sun

The exact magnitude of the force is given by Newton's law of universal gravitation. The formula to calculate the magnitude of this force is ,F=\frac{GMm}{r^2}.

In this formula G is the universal gravitational constant, r is the distance between the two objects, M,m each represent the masses of the central object and the object orbiting it.  As a consequence we can tell that closer to the central object, the magnitude of the force will be larger than further away from the object.

Where is potential energy in food stored
AlexFokin [52]
The potential energy is stored in the chemical bonds of the food. When those bonds break up during the metabolic processes, the energy is released. After that, that energy is stored in the Adenosine Triphosphate bonds aka ATP. The simplest way to think is to think of food as the tightly bound atoms. When the chemical bonds between those atoms break, the stored energy in that food is released.

An engine absorbs 1749 J from a hot reservoir and expels 539 J to a cold reservoir in each cycle. a. What is the engine’s effici
Masja [62]

Answer:

a)η = 69.18 %

b)W= 1210 J

c)P=3967.21 W

Explanation:

Given that

Q₁ = 1749 J

Q₂ = 539  J

From first law of thermodynamics

Q₁   = Q₂ +W

W=Work out put

Q₂=Heat rejected to the cold reservoir

Q₁ =heat absorb by hot  reservoir

W= Q₁- Q₂

W= 1210 J

The efficiency given as

\eta=\dfrac{W}{Q_1}

\eta=\dfrac{1210}{1749}

\eta=0.6918

η = 69.18 %

We know that rate of work done is known as power

P=\dfrac{W}{t}

P=\dfrac{1210}{0.305}\ W

P=3967.21 W
