<span>The Earth’s orbit is a nearly circular ellipse.
</span><span>The Sun is located at one of the two focal points.</span>

The Earth moves around the Sun in an orbit that is almost but not quite circular. As Kepler proved in the seventeenth century, the orbit is actually an ellipse. A parameter called the eccentricity (e) defines the degree of departure from a circle. A value of e=0 would indicate a circle whereas a value of e=0.9 would indicate a very elongated ellipse. The eccentricity of the Earth's orbit is currently e=0.0167.

If the electron just misses the upper plate as it emerges from the field, find the magnitude of the electric field.

Damm [24]

Answer:

The magnitude of the electric field be 171.76 N/C so that the electron misses the plate.

Explanation:

As data is incomplete here, so by seeing the complete question from the search the data is

vx_0=1.1 x 10^6

ax=0 As acceleration is zero in the horizontal axis so

Equation of motion in horizontal direction is given as

$s_x=v_x_0 t$

$t=\frac{s_x}{v_x}\\t=\frac{2 \times 10^{-2}}{1.1 \times 6}\\t=1.82 \times 10^{-8} s$

Now for the vertical distance

vy_o=0

than the equation of motion becomes

$s_y=v_y_0 t+\frac{1}{2} at^2\\s_y=\frac{1}{2} at^2\\0.5 \times 10^{-2}=\frac{1}{2} a(1.82 \times 10^{-8})^2\\a=3.02 \times 10^{13} m/s^2$

Now using this acceleration the value of electric field is calculated as

$E=\frac{F}{q}\\E=\frac{ma}{q}\\E=\frac{m_ea}{q_e}\\$

Here a is calculated above, m is the mass of electron while q is the charge of electron, substituting values in the equation

$E=\frac{9.1\times 10^{-31} \times 3.02 \times 10^{13} }{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}\\E=171.76 N/C$

So the magnitude of the electric field be 171.76 N/C so that the electron misses the plate.

Assume that all four H-R diagrams below represent a star in different stages of its life, after it starts to fuse hydrogen in it

Mumz [18]

The right answer for the question that is being asked and shown above is that: "1-4-3-2." (main sequence-->red giant-->supergiant-->white dwarf). Assume that all four H-R diagrams below represent a star in different stages of its life, after it starts to fuse hydrogen in its core.
