Answer: orbit

Explanation:

Our sky is divided into 88 areas known as constellations. These constellations are identified by the brightest stars of these areas forming a recognizable pattern. As the Earth travels in its orbit around the Sun, different constellations are visible at different times of the year. This is because different part of the sky is visible as earth goes around the Sun.

Thus, As Earth travels in its orbit different constellations are visible at different times of the year.

Two carts have a compressed spring between them and are initially at rest. One of the carts has total mass, including its conten

ladessa [460]

Answer:

A) - 1.8 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that whole system is initially at rest and there is no external force on this system

So total momentum of the system must be conserved

so we will have

$m_1v_1 + m_2v_2 = 0$

now plug in all data into above equation

$5(v) + 3(3)$

$5v = -9$

$v = -1.8 m/s$

so correct answer is

A) - 1.8 m/s

Imagine a system where a block rests on an inclined plane. The block is then given an initial push so that it starts sliding dow

Helen [10]

Answer:

statement - 'The work done by friction is equal to the sum of the work done by the gravity and the initial push' is correct.

Explanation:

The statement ''The work done by friction is equal to the sum of the work done by the gravity and the initial push" is correct.

The above statement is correct because, the initial push will tend to slide down the block thus the work done by the initial push will be in the downward direction. Also, the gravity always acts in the downward direction. thus, the work done done by the gravity will also be in the downward direction

here, the downward direction signifies the downward motion parallel to the inclined plane.

Now we know that the work done by the friction is against the direction of motion. Thus, the friction force will tend to move the block up parallel to the inclined plane.

Hence, for the block to stop sliding the the above statement should be true.

When the distance between two charges is halved, the electrical force between them?

Llana [10]

If the distance between two charges is halved, the electrical force between them increases by a factor 4.

In fact, the magnitude of the electric force between two charges is given by:
$F= k \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$
where
k is the Coulomb's constant
q1 and q2 are the two charges
r is the separation between the two charges

We see that the magnitude of the force F is inversely proportional to the square of the distance r. Therefore, if the radius is halved:
$r'= \frac{r}{2}$
the magnitude of the force changes as follows:
$F'=k \frac{q_1 q_2}{r'^2}=k \frac{q_1 q_2}{( \frac{r}{2})^2 }=k \frac{q_1 q_2}{ \frac{r^2}{4} } =4k \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}=4 F$
so, the force increases by a factor 4.
