Which statements accurately describe the shape of Earth’s orbit around the Sun? Check all that apply.

<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.

2. The Earth’s orbit is a nearly circular ellipse.

5. The Sun is located at one of the two focal points.

These are the two correct answers.

Use the definition of acceleration:

Acceleration = (change of velocity) divided by (time for the change)

The graph says:

Change of velocity = -6 m/s

Time for the change = 3 sec

So Acceleration = (-6m/s) / (3 s)

That's -6/3 m/s•s

-2 m/s^2

Answer

Around 400 B.C.E, the Greek philosopher Democritus introduced the idea of the atom as the basic building block matter. Democritus though that atoms are tiny, uncuttable, solid particles that are surrounded by empty space and constantly moving at random.

Charge g is distributed in a spherically symmetric ball of radius a. (a) Evaluate the average volume charge density p. (b) Now a

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

The volume of a sphere is:

V = 4/3 * π * a^3

The volume charge density would then be:

p = Q/V

p = 3*Q/(4 * π * a^3)

If the charge density depends on the radius:

p = f(r) = k * r

I integrate the charge density in spherical coordinates. The charge density integrated in the whole volume is equal to total charge.

$Q = \int\limits^{2*\pi}_0\int\limits^\pi_0 \int\limits^r_0 {k * r} \, dr * r*d\theta* r*d\phi$

$Q = k *\int\limits^{2*\pi}_0\int\limits^\pi_0 \int\limits^r_0 {r^3} \, dr * d\theta* d\phi$

$Q = k *\int\limits^{2*\pi}_0\int\limits^\pi_0 {\frac{r^4}{4}} \, d\theta* d\phi$

$Q = k *\int\limits^{2*\pi}_0 {\frac{\pi r^4}{4}} \, d\phi$

$Q = \frac{\pi^2 r^4}{2}}$

Since p = k*r

Q = p*π^2*r^3 / 2

Then:

p(r) = 2*Q / (π^2*r^3)

Which of the following best describes the term thermal energy? Choose one: A. The energy of an object in motion due to its mass

o-na [289]

Answer:

The correct option is (d).

Explanation:

The energy a particle has because of its charge and its position relative to another particle is called thermal energy.
It is the energy that comes from heat. This is generated by the movement of the particles in an object.
Thermal energy is the energy an object or system has due to the movement of particles within.

Hence, the correct option is (d).
