Answer:

False.

Explanation:

From Kepler's Third Law of plenetary motion, we know that:

<em>"The square of the orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit."</em>

Or, as expressed in mathematical terms:

\frac{a^3}{T^2}=constant, where <em>a</em> is the semi-major axis of the orbit (the distance from the center), and <em>T </em>is the orbital period of the satellite.

From this expression we can clearly see that if the orbit's semi-major axis is doubled, orbital period will be \sqrt{8} times longer to compensate the variation.

goldfiish [28.3K]

The final combined velocity after the collision is 20.2 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum: in fact, in absence of external forces, the total momentum of the two car and of the truck must be conserved before and after the collision.

This means that we can write the following equation:

p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = (m_1+m_2)v  

where:  

m_1 = 800 kg is the mass of the sport car

u_1 = 13.0 m/s is the initial velocity of the car (taking its direction as positive  direction)

m_2 = 1200 kg is the mass of the truck

u_2 = 25.0 m/s is the initial velocity of the truck

v is the final combined velocity of the car and the truck, after the collision

Re-arranging the equation and substituting the values, we find the velocity after the collision:

v=\frac{m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2}{m_1+m_2}=\frac{(800)(13)+(1200)(25)}{800+1200}=20.2 m/s

And the positive sign indicates their final direction is the same as the initial direction of the two vehicles.

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

when the direction of the Current changes.

Explanation:

Electromagnet refers to an iron ore wrapped around with a coil of wire, in presence of electric current. As it acts like a magnet, when current is passed through it.

The north & south poles of magnetic fields produced by such magnet, change with direction of current passed through it.
