The answer is elliptical orbits. Here is are my reason for thinking it is what I know it is. All planets move in elliptical orbits, with the sun at one focus. This is one of Kepler's laws. The elliptical shape of the orbit is a result of the inverse square force of gravity. The eccentricity of the ellipse is greatly exaggerated here.

A force on a particle depends on position such that F(x) = (3.00 N/m2)x2 + (6.00 N/m)x for a particle constrained to move along
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

The work done by a particle from x = 0 to x = 2 m is 20 J.

Explanation:

A force on a particle depends on position constrained to move along the x-axis, is given by,

F(x)=(3\ N/m^2)x^2+(6\ N/m)x

We need to find the work done on a particle that moves from x = 0.00 m to x = 2.00 m.

We know that the work done by a particle is given by the formula as follows :

W=\int\limits {F{\cdot} dx}

W=\int\limits^2_0 {(3x^2+6x){\cdot} dx} \\\\W={(x^3}+3x^2)_0^2\\\\\W={(2^3}+3(2)^2)\\\\W=20\ J

So, the work done by a particle from x = 0 to x = 2 m is 20 J. Hence, this is the required solution.

A water balloon is hovering directly above the line join points ANB which are 4.6 km apart if the angles of elevation to the bal
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Drawing the triangle:

H / x = tan 52.2 = 1.29

H / (4.6 - x) = tan 28.8 = .550

H = 1.29 x

H = .55 * 4.6 - .55 x

1.84 x = 2.53        combining equations

x = 1.38

4.6 - 1.38 = 3.22

Total base of triangle = 1.38 + 3.22 = 4.6

H / x = tan 52,2 = 1.29

H = 1.29 * 1.38 = 1.78 height of triangle

Check:

1.78 / 3.22 = tan 28.9    

This agrees with the given value of 28.8

How do scientists know the continents were once closer than they are today? Explain your answer in 2-3 complete sentences.
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Continental drift describes one of the earliest ways geologists thought continents moved over time. Today, the theory of continental drift has been replaced by the science of plate tectonics. 

 

The theory of continental drift is most associated with the scientist Alfred Wegener. In the early 20th century, Wegener published a paper explaining his theory that the continental landmasses were “drifting” across the Earth, sometimes plowing through oceans and into each other. He called this movement continental drift.

Explain numericals of electricity chapter of class 10 and also diagrams.What is ammeter?What is voltmeter?potential difference?O
SVEN [57.7K]

Let's explain the following electrical terms.

• Electric current, can be said to be the flow of electric charge. These charges are through a conductor by moving electrons.

• Ammeter, is an instrument used to measure the amount of electric current in a circuit.

The name ammeter was derived from the unit of electric current (Amperes).

• Voltmeter, can be said to be an instrument used to measure the voltage(potential difference) in a circuit. It measures the electric potential between two points in an electrical circuit. It can also be called voltage meter.

• Electric circuit, can be defined as the conductive path for the flow of electric current.

It allows electric charge carriers to flow continuously.

• Resistance ,can be said to be the property of an electrical conductor which resists the flow of electric current. It is measured in ohms.

• Ohms law, states that the potential difference (V) between two points is directly proportional to the electric current across two points.

It is deonted as: V = I x R

Voltage = Current x Resistance

• Electric potential ,can be said to be the amount of electric potential energy at a point.

The momentum of a 0.1 kg object traveling at 2000 m/s is 20,000 kg·m/s. True or False
Alina [70]

That's false.  

The definition of momentum is (mass) x (speed), so they must be multiplied.

"20,000 kg-m/s" has the correct units resulting from multiplication, but the number could only be the result of division.
