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.

A capacitor acquires a charge of 0.003 C when connected across a 30-V battery. Its capacitance is _____.
USPshnik [31]
Charge stored in a capacitor given by Q = C*V.

So, C = Q / V.

V=30V,  Q=0.003C

C = 0.0001F  or 100μF

What happens to balloon filled with air when it goes very high attitude from surface of earth why​
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

The balloon will continue to expand and eventually burst.

Explanation:

Simply, the reason for this is because the density of the atmosphere decreases gradually as you increase in altitude closer to space. This means that the air on the outside of the balloon can't provide enough pressure over the surface of the balloon in order to counteract the gas on the inside of the balloon from expanding.

What is the resultant of a pair of one pound forces at right angles to each other?
OleMash [197]

Answer:

F_R=\sqrt{2} \ pound.force

Explanation:

Given that there are two force of 1 pound each at right angles to each other.

The from the vector law of addition:

F_R=\sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2}

where:

F_R= resultant force

F_1\ \&\ F_2 be the two of the forces to be added.

F_R=\sqrt{1^2+1^2}

F_R=\sqrt{2} \ pound.force
