<h2>Answer:0.048</h2>

Explanation:

Let the length of perihelion be $p$

Let the length of aphelion be $a$

Let the length of semi major axis of the elliptical path be $s$

As we know that semi major axis is the average of perihelion and aphelion.

So, $s=\frac{p+a}{2} =\frac{1558.14}{2}=779.07$ $millionKm$

Let the eccentricity of the elliptical path be $e$

$e=1-\frac{p}{s}=1-\frac{741.52}{779.07}=0.048$

When you boil potatoes, will your cooking time be reduced with vigorously boiling water instead of gently boiling water? (Direct

lara [203]

Answer:

The cooling time will not be reduced.

Explanation:

The time to cook is virtually the same in both types, vigorously and gently boiling water.

The reason cooking of spaghetti calls for vigorously boiling water is to keep the pasta agitated so that they do not stick to one another.

The temperature of boiling water is the same for both vigorously boiling water and gently boiling water, therefore there will be little time difference in when the potatoes will cook when it is done with vigorously boiling water than when it is cooked with gently boiling water.

However cooking potatoes in vigorously boiling water may cause the water to dry up on time and the potatoes get burnt.

A 5,000 kg satellite is orbiting the Earth in a circular path. The height of the satellite above the surface of the Earth is 800

Arada [10]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

m = 5000 kg, h = 800 km = $0.8 \times 10^{6} m$

$R_{e} = 6.37 \times 10^{6} m$ , r = R + h = $7.17 \times 10^{6} m$

$M_{e} = 5.98 \times 10^{24}$ kg, G = $6.67 \times 10^{-11} Nm^{2}/kg^{2}$

As we know that,

$\frac{mv^{2}}{r} = \frac{GmM_{e}}{r^{2}}$

v = $\sqrt{\frac{GM_{e}}{r^{2}}}$

And, it is known that formula to calculate angular velocity is as follows.

$\omega = \frac{v}{r} = \sqrt{\frac{GM_{e}}{r^{3}}}$

v = $\sqrt{\frac{GM_{e}}{r^{3}}}$

= $\sqrt{\frac{6.67 \times 10^{-11} Nm^{2}/kg^{2} \times 5.98 \times 10^{-24} kg^{-2}}{(7.17 \times 10^{6} m)^{3}}}$

= $1.0402 \times 10^{-3} rad/s$

Thus, we can conclude that speed of the satellite is $1.0402 \times 10^{-3} rad/s$ .

What force must be exerted on the master cylinder of a hydraulic lift to support the weight of a 2000-kg car (a large car) resti

Nataliya [291]

Archimedes principle states that

F1 / A1 = F2 / A2

F2 = (A2 / A1) * F1

Also, formula for the force is F = mg. Formula for the area of the cylinder is A = πr^2, therefore we get

F2 = (πr2^2 / πr1^2) * mg

Since the diameter of the cylinders are 2 cm and 24 cm, r1 = 12 and r2 = 1.

Substituting the values to the derived equation, we get

F2 = (π 1^2 / π 12^2) * 2400 * 9.8

F2 = 163.3333 N

A 5 kg ball of clay is moving with a speed of 25 m/s directly toward a 10 kg ball of clay which is at rest. The two clay balls c

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

8.3m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

mass of clay ball = 5kg

Speed of clay ball = 25m/s

mass of clay ball at rest = 10kg

speed of clay ball at rest = 0m/s

Unknown:

Velocity after collision = ?

Solution:

Since the balls stick together, this is an inelastic collision:

m1v1 + m2v2 = v(m1 + m2)

5(25) + 10(0) = v (5 + 10)

125 = 15v

v = 8.3m/s

Which of the following natural factors is likely to support the formation of an oceanic island?

stepan [7]

The natural factor that is most likely to support the formation of an oceanic island is the rise of magma from the seafloor. Oceanic islands are also otherwise known as volcanic islands. When volcanoes erupt, they create layers of lava that break the surface of the water. When the tops of the volcanoes emerge, an island is created.<span> </span>
