-- From the point of view of an observer on Earth, the moon's orbit is an ellipse
with the Earth's center at one focus.

-- From the point of view of an observer on the sun, or on any other planet,
the moon's orbit is an ellipse with the sun at one focus, and perturbed by being
near the Earth.

The Earth.

Orbits are elliptical in shape with the body being orbited at one focus. So the Sun is at one focus of the Earth's orbit around it.

Enrique is given information about a satellite orbiting Earth. R = 3. 8 Ă— 108 m T = 18 days In order to calculate the tangentia

NISA [10]

The first step that Enrique must take in order to calculate the tangential speed of the satellite is to convert the period from days to seconds.

We know that the SI unit of speed is meter per second and now, we with to obtain the tangential speed of the satellite.

Since the period is given in days, the first step is to convert the period from days to seconds.

An object is moving across a surface, but it is not gain or lose speed. Which best describes the objects force?

raketka [301]

Answer:

Gravity. An object is moving across a surface, but it does not gain or lose speed.

Explanation:

The basic idea. Physicists see gravity as one of the four fundamental forces that govern the universe, alongside electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces.

On February 15, 2013, Asteroid 2012 DA14 passed within 17,200 miles [mi] of the surface of the Earth at a relative speed of 7.8

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

The total amount of energy that would have been released if the asteroid hit earth = The kinetic energy of the asteroid = 1.29 × 10¹⁵ J = 1.29 PetaJoules = 1.29 PJ

1 PJ = 10¹⁵ J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy = mv²/2

velocity of the asteroid is given as 7.8 km/s = 7800 m/s

To obtain the mass, we get it from the specific gravity and diameter information given.

Density = specific gravity × 1000 = 3 × 1000 = 3000 kg/m³

But density = mass/volume

So, mass = density × volume.

Taking the informed assumption that the asteroid is a sphere,

Volume = 4πr³/3

Diameter = 30 m, r = D/2 = 15 m

Volume = 4π(15)³/3 = 14137.2 m³

Mass of the asteroid = density × volume = 3000 × 14137.2 = 42411501 kg = 4.24 × 10⁷ kg

Kinetic energy of the asteroid = mv²/2 = (4.24 × 10⁷)(7800²)/2 = 1.29 × 10¹⁵ J

1. Calcula la fuerza de atracción electrostática entre dos cuerpos de cargas q1 = -18 C y q2 = +5 mC, separados entre sí por una

romanna [79]

Answer:

A) F=-20.16×10⁹N

B) if the distance doubles, force is 4 times smaller.

Explanation:

q1=-28C

q2=5mC=0.005C

d=25cm=0.25m

Electrostatic force between charges: F=k×q1×q2/d², where k is a coefficient that has the value k=9 × 10⁹ N⋅m²⋅C^(-2) for air.

Thus:

F=9×10⁹×(-28)×0.005/0.25²

F=-20.16×10⁹N

The minus sign indicates attraction.

If distance doubles, d1=2×d, then we have 4d² at the denominator and the force is 4 times smaller.

PLEASE ANSWER FAST In which of the following situations is the greatest amount of work accomplished? 1. A boy lifts a 2-newton b

GuDViN [60]

Explanation:

Work done is given by the product of force and displacement.

Case 1,

1. A boy lifts a 2-newton box 0.8 meters.

W = 2 N × 0.8 m = 1.6 J

2. A boy lifts a 5-newton box 0.8 meters.

W = 5 N × 0.8 m = 4 J

3. A boy lifts a 8-newton box 0.2 meters.

W = 8 N × 0.2 m = 1.6 J

4. A boy lifts a 10-newton box 0.2 meters.

W = 10 N × 0.2 m = 2 J

Out of the four options, in option (2) ''A boy lifts a 5-newton box 0.8 meters'', the work done is 4 J. Hence, the greatest work done is 4 J.
