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 42.6kg lamp is hanging from wires as shown in figure.The ring has negligible mass. Find tensionsT1, T2,T3 if the object is in
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

T1 = 417.48N

T2 = 361.54N

T3 = 208.74N

Explanation:

Using the sin rule to fine the tension in the strings;

Given

amass = 42.6kg

Weight = 42.6 * 9.8 = 417.48N

The third angle will be 180-(60+30)= 90 degrees

Using the sine rule

W/Sin 90 = T3/sin 30 = T2/sin 60

Get T3;

W/Sin 90 = T3/sin 30

417.48/1 = T3/sin30

T3 = 417.48sin30

T3 = 417.48(0.5)

T3 = 208.74N

Also;

W/sin90 = T2/sin 60

417.48/1 = T2/sin60

T2 = 417.48sin60

T2 = 417.48(0.8660)

T2 = 361.54N

The Tension T1 = Weight of the object = 417.48N

Aunt Matilda goes to a well and throws a penny straight down the well at 3.0 m/s. She hears a splash after 0.5 seconds. How deep
nevsk [136]

Answer : The correct option is (d) 2.73 m

Explanation :

By the 2nd equation of motion,

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where,

s = distance or height = ?

u = initial velocity  = 3.0 m/s

t = time = 0.5 s

a = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^2

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

s=(3.0m/s)\times (0.5s)+\frac{1}{2}\times (9.8m/s^2)\times (0.5s)^2

s=2.73m

Therefore, the correct option is (d) 2.73 m

In a pickup game of dorm shuffleboard, students crazed by final exams use a broom to propel a calculus book along the dorm hallw
RSB [31]

Answer:

The coefficient of kinetic is

u_{k}=0.59

Explanation:

The forces in the axis 'x' and 'y' using law of Newton to find coefficient of kinetic friction

ΣF=m*a

ΣFy=W-N=0

ΣFy=Fn-Fu=m*a

F_{u} =u_{k} *N\\F_{N}=25N\\N=W\\N=3.5kg*9.8\frac{m}{s^{2} }=34.3N

F_{N}-F_{u}=m*a\\F_{N}-u_{k}*N=m*a\\u_{k}*N=F_{N}-m*a\\u_{k}=\frac{F_{N}-m*a}{N}

Now to find the coefficient can find the acceleration using equation of uniform motion accelerated

v_{f} ^{2}=v_{o}^{2}+2*a(x_{f}-x_{o})\\x_{o}=0\\v_{o}=0\\v_{f} ^{2}=2*a*x_{f}\\a=\frac{v_{f} ^{2}}{2*a*x_{f}}\\ a=\frac{(1.53\frac{m}{s} )^{2}}{2*0.91m}\\a= 1.28 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

So replacing the acceleration can fin the coefficient:

u_{k}=\frac{F_{N}-m*a }{N}\\u_{k}=\frac{25N-(3.5kg*1.28\frac{m}{s^{2}} }{34.3N} \\u_{k}=0.59

Identify two factors that determine the state of matter
vova2212 [387]
Two factors determine whether a substance is a solid, a liquid, or a gas: The kinetic energies of the particles (atoms, molecules, or ions) that make up a substance. Kinetic energy tends to keep the particles moving apart. The attractive intermolecular forces between particles that tend to draw the particles together.
