_____ have a nearly circular orbit.

Physics
1 answer:
WITCHER [35]3 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.

Two blocks of masses m and M are connected by a string and pass over a frictionless pulley. Mass m hangs vertically, and mass M
horsena [70]

Answer:

sin\theta - \mu_k cos\theta = \frac{m}{M}

sin\theta - \mu_k cos\theta = 1

Explanation:

Force of friction on M mass so that it will move down the inclined plane is given as

F_f = \mu Mgcos\theta

now if it is moving down the inclined plane at constant speed

so we will have

Mgsin\theta - T - \mu mgcos\theta = 0

on other side the mass "m" will go up at constant speed

so we have

T - mg = 0

so we have

Mgsin\theta = \mu Mgcos\theta + mg

so we have

sin\theta - \mu_k cos\theta = \frac{m}{M}

for special case when m = M

then we have

sin\theta - \mu_k cos\theta = 1

Which type of wave results from a moderately sloping coastal region?
Naddik [55]

Hey there!

Your answer: Spilling breaker

Spilling breaker usually occurs when a beach or ocean is flat, and as the waves of the wind continues to happen, slowly the region would eventually become a slope.

It's almost like play-dough. Let's say that we set a perfect flat surface of play-dough on the table. As we continue slide our hands one direction, doesn't the play dough have more on one side than the other? It eventually contains a slope if you add enough from the first place.

Why is Jupiter's rotation dangerous for human survivability?
krok68 [10]

Answer:

1. Why is Jupiter's rotation dangerous for human survivability?

<h2>=> </h2>

<em><u>Jupiter is the fastest rotating planet in our solar system. One day lasts about 9.5 Earth hours. This creates powerful winds that can whip around the planet at more than 300 mph. About 75 miles below the clouds, you reach the limit of human exploration.</u></em>

2 .Why is Jupiter's planet axis tilt an issue for human survivability?

<h2>=></h2>

<em><u>Jupiter, like Venus, has an axial tilt of only 3 degrees, so there is literally no difference between the seasons. ... The length of each season is roughly three years. Jupiter is the fastest spinning planet in our Solar System, which causes the planet to flatten at the poles and bulge at the </u></em><em><u>equator.</u></em>

3.Why is the diameter of Jupiter an issue for human survivability?

<h2>=></h2>

<em><u>Since </u></em><em><u>,</u></em><em><u>The </u></em><em><u>Jupiter </u></em><em><u>is </u></em><em><u>so </u></em><em><u>huge </u></em><em><u>in </u></em><em><u>mass</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>,</u></em><em><u>The </u></em><em><u>central</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>force</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>toward</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>the </u></em><em><u>centre </u></em><em><u>will </u></em><em><u>be </u></em><em><u>high</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>and</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>we'll</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>be </u></em><em><u>forced</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>toward</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>it </u></em><em><u>causing</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>Several</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>problems</u></em><em><u>.</u></em>
