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.

Two rockets are flying in the same direction and are side by side at the instant their retrorockets fire. Rocket A has an initia
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

-22.2 m/s²

Explanation:

The equation for position x for a constant acceleration a, time t and initial velocity v₀, initial position x₀:

(1) x=\frac{1}{2}at^2+v_0t+x_0

For rocket A the initial and final position: x = x₀= 0. Using these values in equation 1 gives:

(2) 0=\frac{1}{2}at^2+v_0t

Solving for time t:

-\frac{1}{2}at^2=v_0t

(3) t=-\frac{2v_0}{a}

The times for both rockets must be equal, since they start and end at the same location. Using equation 3 for rocket A and B gives:

(4) \frac{v_{0A}}{a_A}=\frac{v_{0B}}{a_B}

Solving equation 4 for acceleration of rocket B:

(5) a_B=a_A\frac{v_{0B}}{v_{0A}}

A racecar begins at rest and accelerates to 25 m/s at a rate of 6.25 m/s2. What distance does the racecar cover?
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

d.

50 m

Explanation:

v² = u² + 2as

s = (v² - u²) / 2a

s =(25² - 0²) / (2(6.25))

s = 50 m
