Answer:

E) are almost circular, with low eccentricities.

Explanation:

Kepler's laws establish that:

All the planets revolve around the Sun in an elliptic orbit, with the Sun in one of the focus (Kepler's first law).

A planet describes equal areas in equal times (Kepler's second law).

The square of the period of a planet will be proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit (Kepler's third law).

T^{2} = a^{3}

Where T is the period of revolution and a is the semi-major axis.

Planets orbit around the Sun in an ellipse with the Sun in one of the focus. Because of that, it is not possible to the Sun to be at the center of the orbit, as the statement on option "C" says.

However, those orbits have low eccentricities (remember that an eccentricity = 0 corresponds to a circle)

In some moments of their orbit, planets will be closer to the Sun (known as perihelion). According with Kepler's second law to complete the same area in the same time, they have to speed up at their perihelion and slow down at their aphelion (point farther from the Sun in their orbit).

Therefore, option A and B can not be true.

In the celestial sphere, the path that the Sun moves in a period of a year is called ecliptic, and planets pass very closely to that path.

The circumference of an orbit for a toy on a string is 18 m and the centripetal force is 12 N. Does the centripetal force do any
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Work done is 0.

Explanation:

Given that,

The circumference of an orbit for a toy on a string is 18 m, r = 18 m

Centripetal force, F = 12 N

In the circular path, the centripetal force is always perpendicular to the motion of the object. Thus it makes an angle of 90 degrees with the force and displacement. Hence, we can say that the centripetal force does not do any work on the toy when it follows its orbit for one cycle.

If the resistance of a circuit increases, that means that the current has to
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

If resistance increases current decreases.

Explanation:

  • Current is <em>inversely proportional</em> to the resistance.
  • from the relation given below, we can clearly see the relation between current and resistance;

                              V=IR

                              I ∝ 1/R

This relation shows that when resistance increases,current decreases.
