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

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.

A 2000kg suv accelerates from rest at a rate of 3.00m/s^2. The total amount of force resisting its motion 1500N. How much force

choli [55]

The total force that the SUV exerts is:

F = 2000 kg * 3 m/s^2

F = 6000 N

Since a resisting force amounting to 1500 N is exerted, then the force exerted by the SUV tires is:

F tire = 6000 N – 1500 N

F tire = 4500 N

Explain why the life cycle of a star can be compared to the life style of a human

Vladimir79 [104]

A star is born when clouds of dust and elements are gathered together in a certain space due to gravity, more and more mass and therefore pressure builds. When the pressure becomes enough to overcome the electronic repulsive force between two hydrogen nuclei, they are forced together and massive amounts of energy are given off forming helium atoms. This energy is then used to fuse other nuclei together. This could be compared to the way human life starts, where instead of 2 nuclei joining together to start a life cycle, two gametes, or sex cells are joined together. Also at the start of both a star and persons life, we are weak and we gain strength until we reach the height of our existence, then humans slowly become less efficient at doing what they do until eventually they cannot sustain themselves any further.

the displacement (in centimeters) of a particle moving back and forth along a straight line is given by the equation of motion s

12345 [234]

The average velocity or displacement of a particle for the first time interval is Δs / Δt = 6 cm/s.

Solution:

As we know that displacement is calculated in centimeters and the unit of time is second.

The average velocity for the first interval [1,2] is given

Δs / Δt = s (t2) - s (t) / t2 - t1

Δs / Δt = 2sin2 π + 3cos 2 π - ( 2sin π + 3cos π ) / 2 - 1

Δs / Δt = 2(0) + 3(1) - 2(0) - 3 (-1) / 1

Δs / Δt = 6 cm/s

Thus the average velocity or displacement of a particle for the first time interval is Δs / Δt = 6 cm/s

In the steady state 1.2 ✕ 1018 electrons per second enter bulb 1. There are 6.3 ✕ 1028 mobile electrons per cubic meter in tungs

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

E=12.2V/m

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must address the concepts of drift velocity. A drift velocity is the average velocity attained by charged particles, such as electrons, in a material due to an electric field.

The equation is given by,

$V=\frac{I}{nAq}$
