_____ 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.

What is the predicted result when two different materials of equal mass absorb the same amount of energy by heat flow?
Ludmilka [50]

The correct is D.

Explanation: The specific heat is defined as heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass by one degree. Greater the specific heat, more is the heat required to raise the temperature for equal mass. So, the temperature of the material with lowest specific heat will increase the most for the same amount of heat energy.

In which one(s) of the following situations will there be an INCREASE in Kinetic Energy? Group of answer choices A block slides
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

The Kinetic Energy INCREASE in the following situations:

a)A block slides down a frictionless incline:

e)A merry go round rotates faster due to the push by a person.

Explanation:

The energy kinetics is proportional to the square of the velocity:

E_k=1/2*mv^2

We study the cases:

a)A block slides down a frictionless incline:

The gravity made a positive work and the box get a extra velocity, then the kinetics energy INCREASE

b)A box is pulled across a rough floor at constant speed:

The magnitude of the velocity does not change, so the kinetics energy does not change as well

c)A stone at the end of a string is whirled in a horizontal circle at constant speed:

The magnitude of the velocity does not change, so the kinetics energy does not change as well

d)A projectile approaches its maximum height:

If the projectile approaches its maximum height, its velocity approaches to zero. Then the kinetics Energy DECREASE

e)A merry go round rotates faster due to the push by a person.

Thanks to the push, the magnitude of the velocity INCREASE, so the kinetics energy INCREASE as well
