Planets in our solar system do not revolve around the sun in perfect circles. Their orbits are more like ovals. Which term do sc

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.

A car traveling at speed v takes distance d to stop after the brakes are applied. What is the stopping distance if the car is in
Vikki [24]

49d

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

This case is about uniformly accelerated motion.

<u>Given:</u>

The initial speed was v takes distance d to stop after the brakes are applied.

<u>Question:</u>

What is the stopping distance if the car is initially traveling at speed 7.0v?

Assume that the acceleration due to the braking is the same in both cases. Express your answer using two significant figures.

<u>The Process:</u>

The list of variables to be considered is as follows.

  • \boxed{u \ or \ v_i = initial \ velocity}
  • \boxed{u \ or \ v_t \ or \ v_i = terminal \ or \ final \ velocity}
  • \boxed{a = acceleration \ (constant)}
  • \boxed{d = distance \ travelled}

The formula we follow for this problem are as follows:

\boxed{ \ v^2 = u^2 + 2ad \ }

  • a = acceleration (in m/s²)
  • u = initial velocity  
  • v = final velocity
  • d = distance travelled

Step-1

We substitute v as the initial speed, distance of d, and zero for final speed into the formula.

\boxed{ \ 0 = v^2 + 2ad \ }

\boxed{ \ v^2 = -2ad \ }

Both sides are divided by -2d, we get \boxed{ \ a = \Big( -\frac{v^2}{2d} \Big) \ . . . \ (Equation-1) \ }

Step-2

We substitute 7.0v as the initial speed, zero for final speed, and Equation-1 into the formula.

\boxed{ \ 0 = (7.0v)^2 + 2 \Big( -\frac{v^2}{2d} \Big)d' \ }

Here d' is the stopping distance that we want to look for.

\boxed{ \ 2 \Big( \frac{v^2}{2d} \Big)d' = (7.0v)^2 \ }

We crossed out 2 in above and below.

\boxed{ \ \Big( \frac{v^2}{d} \Big)d' = 49.0v^2 \ }

We multiply both sides by d.

\boxed{ \ v^2 d' = 49.0v^2 d \ }

We crossed out v^2 on both sides.

\boxed{\boxed{ \ d' = 49.0d \ }}

Hence, by using two significant figures, the stopping distance if the car is initially traveling at speed 7.0v is 49d.

The Sun was once thought to be a planet. Explain why.
kumpel [21]

Answer:  

 The sun is a star in the milky way galaxy and the sun has eight planets and large number of asteroids and comets that are revolving around them in a path. On the other hand, the moon are revolving around the planets. The composition of the star are absolutely different from the planets and there are lots of star but the sun is the closest to the earth.
