Nebulae "plural" are huge clouds of dust and gasses in outer space. Most of the gas is made up helium and also hydrogen. Nebulae are very big and can be be many light years away.

After the discovery of Uranus, astronomers calculated its orbit and predicted its position in the sky using Kepler's laws of pla

Answer:

a. verify that your observations are correct

c. think about what else might cause the observed discrepancy

Explanation:

Let's begin by explaining that a law is an affirmation (something established) based on repeated long-term observation of a phenomenon that has been studied and verified.

That is: A law is present in all known theories and therefore is considered universal. In addition, a law can not be refuted, nor changed, because its precepts have been proven through various studies.

Then, based on what is explained above, Kepler's laws of planetary motion exist because they were rigorously tested and verified, therefore they can not be refuted.

So, if we have a small discrepancy between the predicted and actual positions of Uranus after using Kepler's laws, we have to verify carefully our observations again and search what might be causing that discrepancy. But we cannot assume Kepler's Laws are incorrecto or need modifications.

In addition, we cannot consider that Uranus may not be a planet, because the discrepancy is small. In fact, this discrepancy lead to the discovery of another planet, Neptune.

In a two-source circuit, one source acting alone produces 10 ma through a given branch. the other source acting alone produces 8

pashok25 [27]

Refer to the figure below.
R = resistance.

Case 1:
The voltage source is V₁ and the current is 10 mA. Therefore
V₁ = (10 mA)R

Case 2:
The voltage source is V₂ and the current is 8 mA. Therefore
V₂ = (8 mA)R

Case 3:
The voltage across the resistance is V₁ - V₂. Therefore the current I is given by
V₁ - V₂ = IR
10R - 8R = (I mA)R
2 = I
The current is 2 mA.

Answer: 2 mA
