Answer:
c. Solar eclipses would be much more frequent.
Explanation:
The <u>ecliptic plane</u> is the apparent orbit that the sun describes around the earth (although it is the earth that orbits the sun), is the path the sun follows in earth's sky.
A <u>solar eclipse</u> occurs when the moon gets between the earth and the sun, so a shadow is cast on the earth because the light from the sun is blocked.
The reason why solar eclipses are not very frequent is because the moon's orbital plane is not in the same plane as the orbit of the earth around the sun, but rather that it is somewhat inclined with respect to it.
So <u>if both orbits were aligned, the moon would interpose between the sun and the earth more frequently, producing more solar eclipses.</u>
So, if the moon's orbital plane were exacly the same as the ecliptic plane solar eclipses would be more frequent.
the answer is: c.
To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of the Gravitational Force and the centripetal force by equilibrium,


Where,
m = Mass of spacecraft
M = Mass of Earth
r = Radius (Orbit)
G = Gravitational Universal Music
v = Velocity
Re-arrange to find the velocity



PART A ) The radius of the spacecraft's orbit is 2 times the radius of the earth, that is, considering the center of the earth, the spacecraft is 3 times at that distance. Replacing then,


From the speed it is possible to use find the formula, so



Therefore the orbital period of the spacecraft is 2 hours and 24 minutes.
PART B) To find the kinetic energy we simply apply the definition of kinetic energy on the ship, which is



Therefore the kinetic energy of the Spacecraft is 1.04 Gigajules.
Answer:
I think it is the 3 option
Answer:
v₂ = 7.6 x 10⁴ m/s
Explanation:
given,
speed of comet(v₁) = 1.6 x 10⁴ m/s
distance (d₁)= 2.7 x 10¹¹ m
to find the speed when he is at distance of(d₂) 4.8 × 10¹⁰ m
v₂ = ?
speed of planet can be determine using conservation of energy
K.E₁ + P.E₁ = K.E₂ + P.E₂





v₂ = 7.6 x 10⁴ m/s
I see I'm late but I believe it's A. , opposites attract. I'm taking the test right now lol
