<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.

The summer camps had a field trip from the campus to Fragrance Hill. They traveled at an average speed of 65 km/h in the first 2
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Explanation:

They traveled this distance in 2 parts, essentially. Part 1 had an average speed for a certain number of hours, part 2 had an average speed for a certain number of hours, and those 2 parts taken together took them a distance of 364 km. In equation form, that looks like this:

km/hr part 1 + km/hr part 2 = 364 km

Now we need to find each part on the left side of that equation. Part 1 first:

We traveled 65 km/hr for 2 hours, so that took us

65\frac{km}{hr}*2hr and canceling out the hour label, we have that in part 1 we got

65(2) = 130 km. Good. Now onto the second part, where our unknown is.

We traveled 78 km/hr the second part for x hours, so that took us

78\frac{km}{hr}*xhr and canceling out the hour label, we have that in part 2 we got

78x km. Now we can fill in the main equation (the one in bold print)

130 km + 78x km = 364 km and subtracting 130 km from both sides:

78x km = 234 km and dividing by 78 km:

x = 3 hours. Part 2 took 3 hours. Part 1 took 2 hours, so the whole trip took 5 hours.

In one cycle a heat engine absorbs 450 J from a high-temperature reservoir and expels 290 J to a low-temperature reservoir. If t
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

So the ratio will be \frac{T_L}{T_H}=-0.171

Explanation:

We have given heat engine absorbs 450 joule from high temperature reservoir

So Q=450j

As the heat engine expels 290 j

So work done W = 290 J

We know that efficiency \eta =\frac{W}{Q}=\frac{290}{450}=0.6444

It is given that efficiency of the engine only 55 % of Carnot engine

So efficiency of Carnot engine =\frac{0.6444}{0.55}=1.171

Efficiency of Carnot engine is \eta =1-\frac{T_L}{T_H}

1.171 =1-\frac{T_L}{T_H}

\frac{T_L}{T_H}=-0.171
