Why don't the planets move exactly along the ecliptic?

1 answer:

6 0

As seen from the Earth, the Sun, Moon, and planets all appear to move along the ecliptic. ... Unlike the Sun, however, the planets don't always move in the same direction along the ecliptic. They usually move in the same direction as the Sun, but from time to time they seem to slow down, stop, and reverse direction!

Because of various events in their (unknown) past history that resulted in deviations from the theoretical orbit. That formed in the plain of the ecliptic.

Capturing a large passing comet or asteroid might do it.

The knee extensors insert on the tibia at an angle of 30 degrees (from the longitudinal axis of the tibia), at a distance of 3 c

Reika [66]

Answer:

the knee extensors must exert 15.87 N

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

mass m = 4.5 kg

radius of gyration k = 23 cm = 0.23 m

angle ∅ = 30°

∝ = 1 rad/s²

distance of 3 cm from the axis of rotation at the knee r = 3 cm = 0.03 m

using the expression;

ζ = I∝

ζ = mk²∝

we substitute

ζ = 4.5 × (0.23)² × 1

ζ = 0.23805 N-m

from; ζ = rFsin∅

F = ζ / rsin∅

we substitute

F = 0.23805 / (0.03 × sin( 30 ° )

F = 0.23805 / (0.03 × 0.5)

F F = 0.23805 / 0.015

F = 15.87 N

Therefore, the knee extensors must exert 15.87 N

A ball is thrown straight up. It passes a 2.00-m-high window 7.50 m off the ground on its path up and takes 0.312 s to go past t

marta [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that

The window height is 2m

And the window is 7.5m from the ground

Then the total height of the window from the ground is 7.5+2=9.5m

It takes the ball 0.32sec travelled pass the window.

When the ball get to the window, it has an initial velocity (u') and when it gets to the top of the window it has a final velocity ( v')

Now using the equation of free fall during this window travels

S=ut-½gt² against motion.

S=2, g=9.81, t=0.32sec

Then,

S=u't-½gt²

2=u'×0.32-½×9.81×0.32²

2=0.32u'-0.5023

2+0.5032=0.32u'

Then, 0.32u'=2.5032

u'=2.5032/0.32

u'=7.82m/s

This is the initial velocity as the ball got the the window

Now, let analyse from the window bottom to the ground which is a distance of 7.5m

Using the equation of free fall again

v²=u²-2gH

In this case the final velocity (v) is the velocity when the ball reach the bottom of the window i.e u'=7.82m/s,

While u is the original initial velocity from the throw of the ball

Then,

u'²=u²-2gH

7.82²=u²-2×9.81×7.5

61.146=u²-147.15

61.146+147.15=u²

Then, u²=208.296

So, u=√208.296

u=14.43m/s

The initial velocity of the ball form the throw is 14.43m/s

How do i find stretch? The problem in questioning has already given me the elastic energy and k-value, but I have no idea how to

finlep [7]

Answer:

Stretch can be obtained using the Elastic potential energy formula.

The expression to find the stretch (x) is $x=\sqrt{\frac{2\times EPE}{k}}$

Explanation:

Given:

Elastic potential energy (EPE) of the spring mass system and the spring constant (k) are given.

To find: Elongation in the spring (x).

We can find the elongation or stretch of the spring using the formula for Elastic Potential Energy (EPE).

The formula to find EPE is given as:

$EPE=\frac{1}{2}kx^2$

Rewriting the above expression in terms of 'x', we get:

$x=\sqrt{\frac{2\times EPE}{k}}$

Example:

If EPE = 100 J and spring constant, k = 2 N/m.

Elongation or stretch is given as:

$x=\sqrt{\frac{2\times EPE}{k}}\\\\x=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 100}{2}}\\\\x=\sqrt{100}=10\ m$

Therefore, the stretch in the spring is 10 m.

So, stretch in the spring can be calculated using the formula for Elastic Potential Energy.
