Answer:

The planet moves faster when closer to the Sun and slower when it is far from it

Explanation:

The law of planetary motion that answers to this question is the 2nd Kepler's law, which states that:

"A line connecting the centre of the Sun to the centre of each planet sweeps out equal areas in equal time intervals"

In order to understand what are the consequence of this law to the orbital velocity of each planet, we have to keep in mind that planets have an elliptical orbit, with the Sun occupying one of the two focii (Kepler's 1st law).

As a result, the planet at some point of the orbit is farther from the Sun, while at some point is closer to it.

Given to Kepler's second law, this means that when the planet is farther, the orbital velocity must be lower (because the line connecting the planet to the Sun is longer, so it can cover the  same area moving less), while when the planet is closer to the Sun, the orbital velocity must be higher (because the line connecting the planet to the Sun is shorter, so it will cover less area if moving at the same speed.

I am Lyosha [343]

Interphase: Add mushrooms to represent organelles and a ring of pepperoni to make a nuclear membrane. Strips of peppers would represent the DNA inside the nucleus. To model the end of interphase, double the number of mushrooms on the pizza to indicate the copying of the organelles. Double the number of peppers inside the nucleus to represent the replication of DNA.

Prophase: Pair strips of pepper inside the nucleus to show the formation of chromosome pairs. Strips of aluminum foil would represent spindle fibers.

Metaphase: Line up the pair of peppers along the middle of the pizza. Removing the pepperoni would show the breakdown of the nuclear membrane.

Anaphase: Split up the pairs of peppers, and show the spindle fibers, made of aluminum foil, pulling them to either side of the cell.

Telophase: Make two new nuclear membranes around the pepper strips using pepperoni. Separate the pairs of peppers to show the chromosomes unwinding.

Cytokinesis: Cut the pizza across the middle to show the cell dividing into two daughter cells.

garri49 [273]

Answer:

Negative nitrogen balance

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that in this scenario it is clear that the client is in a state of Negative nitrogen balance. This means that the individual is excreting more nitrogen than what the amount of nitrogen that the body is ingesting. This happens in many scenarios such as  serious tissue injuries, fevers, hyperthyroidism, decubitus ulcer with drainage, etc.

joja [24]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Question -

You just came back from class in which the topic was egocentrism in the preoperational stage. You have a 4-year-old and thought that you would see if what you learned was accurate. You are sitting directly across from her and ask her to look at the front and back cover of her favorite book. After she did this you asked her to describe "the part of the book I am looking at." What does she tell you?

a) how many pages there are in the book

b) what she sees

c) what you see

d) what the story is about

Solution

As per Piaget's theory of cognitive development, when a child is at the preoperational stage he/she is able to think only at symbolic level and cannot use his/her cognitive thinking.  

He/she is unable to derive senses or meaning associated with symbols and also his/her communication is egocentric which means they cannot think from the perspective of other people.  

Hence, option B is correct
