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

Physics
1 answer:
AVprozaik [17]3 years ago
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.

A space station, in the form of a wheel 119 m in diameter, rotates to provide an "artificial gravity" of 2.20 m/s2 for persons w
Rina8888 [55]
<span>Well, since it's in the shape of a wheel and the person walks around the edge of it, they must have a centripetal acceleration. Since a=v^2/r you can solve for "v" using 2.20 as your "a" and 59.5 as your "r" (r=half of the diameter).
</span> a=v^2/r 
 v=(a*r)^(1/2)=((2.20)*(59.5))^(1/2)=<span> <span>11.44 m/s.
</span></span><span> After you get "v," plugged that into T=2 pi r/ v. This will give you the 1rev per sec.
</span> T=2 pi r/ v= T=(2)*(pi)*(59.5)/(11.44)= <span> <span>32.68 rev/s
</span></span> Use dimensional analysis to get rev per min (1rev / # sec) times (60 sec/min). 
 (32.68 rev/s)(60 s/min)=<span> <span>1960.74 rev/min

Answer:

The radius of the gold nucleus is 7.1x10⁻¹⁵m

Explanation:

The nearest distance is:

r=\frac{kze^{2} }{mpV^{2} } (eq. 1)

Where

z = atomic number of gold = 79

e = electron charge = 1.6x10⁻¹⁹C

k = electrostatic constant = 9x10⁹Nm²C²

energy of the particle = 32 MeV = 5.12x10⁻¹²J

At the potential energy is zero, all the energy will be kinetic energy:

E_{k} =\frac{1}{2} m V^{2}

Where

m = 4 mp = mass of proton

5.12x10^{-12} =\frac{1}{2} *4*m_{p}* V^{2} \\m_{p}* V^{2} = 2.56x10^{-12}

Replacing in equation 1

r=\frac{9x10^{9}*79*(1.6x10^{-19})^{2}   }{2.56x10^{-12} } =7.1x10^{-15} m

a basketball player can leap upward .65m how long does the basketball player remain in the air use 9.81m/s²​
tigry1 [53]

At the player's maximum height, their velocity is 0. Recall that

{v_f}^2-{v_i}^2=2a\Delta y

which tells us the player's initial velocity v_i is

0^2-{v_i}^2=-2g(0.65\,\mathrm m)\implies v_i=3.6\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}

The player's height at time t is given by

y=v_it-\dfrac g2t^2

so we find their airtime to be

0.65\,\mathrm m=\left(3.6\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t-\dfrac g2t^2\implies t=0.36\,\mathrm s
