"The gravity of the Sun causes the planets to move in a circular path."

You're thinking of Kepler's first law of planetary motion, but that's not
what it says.

First of all, Kepler didn't say anything about gravity.  He only described
the orbits.  And he said that the orbit of each planet is an <u>ellipse</u>, with the
sun at one focus.

If by some chance you're thinking of Newton ... he showed that <u>if</u> his formula for
gravity is correct, then the orbit of a planet <u>must</u> be an ellipse.  But Newton's law
of gravity is not one of his so-called "three laws of motion".

A 620 kg moose is standing in the middle of a train track. A 10,000 kg train moving at 10 m/s is unable to stop and the moose en
ddd [48]

Answer:

This is an example of Inelastic colission

Explanation:

Step one:

given:

mass of moose m1 = 620 kg

mass of train m2= 10,000kg

Initial velocity of moose  u1= 0 m/s

Initial velocity of train v1 = 10m/s

combined velocity of the system is given as v

Applying the conservation of momentum equation we have

m1u1+ m2u1= (m1+m2)V

substitutting we have

620*0+10000*10= (620+10000)V

100000= 10620V

divide both sides by 10620

V = 100000/10620

V=9.41m/s

The velocity of the moose after impact is 9.41m/s

Wood is burning. *
xenn [34]

Answer:

It may seem as though burning destroys matter, but the same amount, or mass, of matter still exists after a campfire as before. Look at Figure 3.7.1 below. It shows that when wood burns, it combines with oxygen and changes not only to ashes, but also to carbon dioxide and water vapor. The gases float off into the air, leaving behind just the ashes. Suppose you had measured the mass of the wood before it burned and the mass of the ashes after it burned. Also suppose you had been able to measure the oxygen used by the fire and the gases produced by the fire. What would you find? The total mass of matter after the fire would be the same as the total mass of matter before the fire.

What is a characteristic of weight &lt;br /&gt;<br>I need it please answer it​
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

Weight is a consequence of the universal law of gravitation

Explanation:

Weight, gravitational force of attraction on an object, caused by the presence of a massive second object, such as the Earth or Moon. Weight is a consequence of the universal law of gravitation: any two objects, because of their masses, attract each other with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
