Kepler's first law - sometimes referred to as the law of ellipses - explains that planets are orbiting the sun in a path described as an ellipse. An ellipse can easily be constructed using a pencil, two tacks, a string, a sheet of paper and a piece of cardboard. Tack the sheet of paper to the cardboard using the two tacks. Then tie the string into a loop and wrap the loop around the two tacks. Take your pencil and pull the string until the pencil and two tacks make a triangle (see diagram at the right). Then begin to trace out a path with the pencil, keeping the string wrapped tightly around the tacks. The resulting shape will be an ellipse. An ellipse is a special curve in which the sum of the distances from every point on the curve to two other points is a constant. The two other points (represented here by the tack locations) are known as the foci of the ellipse. The closer together that these points are, the more closely that the ellipse resembles the shape of a circle. In fact, a circle is the special case of an ellipse in which the two foci are at the same location. Kepler's first law is rather simple - all planets orbit the sun in a path that resembles an ellipse, with the sun being located at one of the foci of that ellipse.

Matthew throws a ball straight up into the air. It rises for a period of time and then begins to drop. At which points in the ba
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

If air resistance is taken as negligible, then the ball is in freefall the moment it is thrown so gravity is the only force acting on the object. If air resistance is not negligible then gravity will be the greatest force acting on the ball while it is going up and coming down, because Fair has to be less than gravity at all times otherwise the atmosphere would wither away.

A 1.5V battery is connected to a small light bulb with a resistance of 3.5 what is the current in the bulb?
notka56 [123]

Technically, we don't have the information needed to calculate the current,
because you haven't mentioned the units of the 3.5 .

Since the 3.5 is a resistance, we strongly suspect ... and we'll therefore
assume ... that the  3.5  has the units of ohms.    Then . . .

  Current = (voltage) / (resistance)  =  (1.5/3.5) = <em>3/7 of an Ampere</em>.

                                                                   (429 mA, rounded)

A weather reporter describes a large area of air that has the same temperature and air pressure . What is the reporter describin
Novay_Z [31]

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>air mass</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Remember, the weather of a particular location is often a description of the atmospheric condition of that particular place.

Indeed, the definition of an air mass fits the reporter's description above. As the name implies, <u>a particular air mass would represent the temperature characteristics of a particular area that has a constant or the same temperature and air pressure.</u>

Does the temperature of a material always increase as it is heated? Explain briefly.
Lerok [7]
To answer your question, no,
temperature does not always increase as it is heated. Adding heat does not always increase the temp.
For example, when water is boiling, adding heat does not increase the temperature. This occurs at the boiling temp of every substance that can vaporize. 

Hope this explanation was helpful and brief! :)
