_____ have a nearly circular orbit.

Physics
1 answer:
WITCHER [35]4 years ago
8 0

The question is poor.

It expects you to choose 'B', but things aren't nearly that simple.

We picture all of the asteroids bunched up in a neat bunch between
the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, with each asteroid following its own
nearly circular orbit.  But many asteroids have wildly non-circular
'eccentric' orbits, sometimes being closer to the sun than the Earth is. 
You know how you hear so much discussion about when did the Earth
get hit by an asteroid ? and when will the Earth be hit by another asteroid ?
and what will happen when the Earth is hit by an asteroid again ?  None
of that would be possible if asteroids all had nearly circular orbits.

We picture comets as having these loooong skinny orbits, spending
most of every orbit waaay out in the solar system, and then dipping
close to the sun for a few days, and then going back waaaay out again. 
But there are also many comets in nearly circular orbits around the sun. 
You never hear anything about them, because you can never see them
without a powerful telescope, and they never do anything exciting. 
So some comets could be a correct answer to this question too.

And since meteoroids are the remains of old comets, and follow the
orbit of the comet that they chipped off from, there are a lot of meteoroids
in circular orbits too, and they could also be a correct answer to this question.

Give an examplea of newtons law of acceleration
coldgirl [10]

The 2nd Law of Motion states acceleration is produced when a n unbalanced force acts on an object (mass) The more mass the object has the more net force has to be used to move it.

Examples:

If you use the same force to push a truck and push a car, the car will have more acceleration than the truck, because the car has less mass.

It's easier to push a empty shopping cart then a full one, because the full one has more mass than the empty one. This means more force is required to push the full shopping cart.

A 0.106-A current is charging a capacitor that has square plates 4.60 cm on each side. The plate separation is 4.00 mm.
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

a

 \frac{d \phi_{E}}{dt}  =1.1977 *10^{10} \  V\cdot m/s

b

 I = 0.106 \  A

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The current is  I =  0.106 \  A

   The length of one side of the square a = 4.60 \  cm = 0.046 \  m

    The separation between the plate is  d = 4.0 mm  = 0.004 \ m

Generally electric flux is mathematically represented as

       \phi_E = \frac{Q}{\epsilon_o}

differentiating both sides with respect to t is  

       \frac{d \phi_{E}}{dt}  = \frac{1}{\epsilon_o} * \frac{d Q}{ dt}

=>     \frac{d \phi_{E}}{dt}  = \frac{1}{\epsilon_o} *I

Here \epsilon_o is the permitivity of free space with value  

        \epsilon _o  =  8.85*10^{-12} C/(V \cdot m)

=>   \frac{d \phi_{E}}{dt}  = \frac{0.106}{8.85*10^{-12}}

=>   \frac{d \phi_{E}}{dt}  =1.1977 *10^{10} \  V\cdot m/s

Generally the displacement current between the plates in A

    I = 8.85*10^{-12} * 1.1977 *10^{10}

=>  I = 0.106 \  A

A train is moving with a velocity of 70 km/h.
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

B: It is moving north.

Explanation:

We are told that a train is moving with a velocity of 70 km/h.

Now, we are also told that the positive direction is north.

This means that the train is moving in the northern direction.

We can't say if it is speeding up or not because we are not given the acceleration.

Thus, option B is correct
