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

Physics
1 answer:
AVprozaik [17]4 years ago

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.

Suppose you pour water into a container until it reaches a depth of 12 cm. Next, you carefully pour in an 8.5 cm thickness of ol
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

the pressure at the bottom is approximately 103264 Pa

Explanation:

From Pascal's law, the pressure at the bottom of the container is the pressure from the atmosphere and the columns of water and olive , therefore

Pressure at the bottom = Pressure at the surface of the liquid ( atmospheric pressure) + pressure of the column of water + pressure of the column of olive oil

since

- Pressure at the surface of the liquid = atmospheric pressure = 101325 Pa

- pressure of the column of water = density of water * gravity * level of water

= 1000 kg/m³ * 9.8 m/s² * 0.12 m = 1176 Pa

- pressure of the column of olive oil=  density of olive oil* gravity * level of olive oil = 916 kg/m³ * 9.8 m/s² * 0.085 m = 763 Pa

therefore

Pressure at the bottom = 101325 Pa + 1176 Pa + 763 Pa = 103264 Pa

density of olive oil was taken from internet sources ( we can check that is lower than the one of water, and thus it floats )

Matter is made up of very small particles
aivan3 [116]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The given statement on matter is true.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The matter refers to any substance or object that occupies volume. A matter always has mass which are composed of huge number of microscopic particles named atoms. The atoms are comprises subatomic particle, however, it does not contain particle like photons (massless particle).

The matter is classified widely based on many factors and based on its existence it is classified as liquid solid, and fluid. Depending on the structure, the matter is classified into baryonic matter, hadronic matter, degenerate matter, and strange matter.  

Thus, the matter comprises tiny particles.
