Answer:

a. A

Explanation:

Kepler's First Law says that the orbits of planets are ellipses with the sun at one focus of the ellipse. Moreover, Kepler’s Second Law says that the line joining the planet to the sun sweeps out equal areas in equal times as it moves along its orbit. Finally, Kepler’s Third Law says that the ratio of the squares of the periods for two planets is equal to the ratio of the cubes of their semi-major axes.

By these laws, the comet A will have lower orbital speed.

You place a book on top of a spring and push down, compressing the spring by 10 cm. When you let go of the book, it is pushed up
enot [183]
At First, there is chemical Energy( in your muscels) which is Used to Push down the spring. This Energy becomes the Energy of the spring, which increases until you stop pushing. If you Put your hand away, the Energy of the spring will become kinetic energ. This Energy is at the highest Level the Moment the book ist Leaving the spring. Afterwards, the kinetic Energy decreases while the Gravitational Potential Energy increases.

evablogger [386]

Answer:

waves

Explanation:

There are three major ways in which heat or thermal energy is transferred namely: conduction, convection and radiation. Please find the description of each below;

- Conduction is the method of heat transfer which involves a physical contact between the substances involved.

- Convection, on the contrary, occurs via a liquid medium

- RADIATION is a method of heat transfer which involves neither physical contact or liquid medium (matter) but occurs through WAVES e.g electromagnetic waves. For example, the sun transfers heat to the Earth via RADIATION.
