Answer:

It is most likely the word elliptical.

Explanation:

Usually the term <em>elliptical </em>refers to the oval-like shape of a substance or path of an object.  The question states, "Planets in our solar system do not revolve around the sun in perfect circles. Their orbits are more like ovals."  Because the planets orbit around the sun in an oval-like path, those orbits can be described as <em>elliptical.  </em>Scientists also normally use this word to describe the same thing; Therefore, your answer is elliptical.

Where must an object be placed to form an image 30.0 cm from a diverging lens with a focal length of 43.0 cm?
Schach [20]
Using lens equation;

1/o + 1/i = 1/f; where o = Object distance, i = image distance (normally negative), f = focal length (normally negative)

Substituting;

1/o + 1/-30 = 1/-43 => 1/o = -1/43 + 1/30 = 0.01 => o = 1/0.01 = 99.23 cm

Therefore, the object should be place 99.23 cm from the lens.

QUESTION 1 Linear Motion
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

48.51ms / 174.6 km/h

Explanation:

y = 1/2 x g x t^2         v = g x t          

when y = 120m

120 = 1/2 x 9.8 x t^2

t^2 = 24.49

t = 4.95s

when t = 4.95s

v = 9.8 x 4.95

v = 48.51 m/s = 174.6 km/h

I'd say its realistic. But I don't really know that sry

How are stars formed and classified?
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
Stars form from an accumulation of gas and dust, which collapses due to gravity and starts to form stars. Stars are typically classified by their spectrum in what is known as the Morgan-Keenan or MK system.

<h2>The answer got is reasonable.</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion v² = u² + 2as

Initial velocity, u = 300 m/s  

Acceleration, a = ?

Final velocity, v = 400 m/s  

Displacement,s = 4 km = 4000 m

Substituting  

v² = u² + 2as

400² = 300² + 2 x a x 4000

a = 8.75 m/s² = 8.8 m/s²

The acceleration is 8.8 m/s²

The answer got is reasonable.
