The orbit of mars is never far from the ecliptic. why?

1 answer:

7 0

The plane of the ecliptic is an imaginary plane that passes from the Sun through the Earth. So Earth has an inclination of zero degrees from the plane.

All planets of our Solar System do not lie in this imaginary plane.

Mars is less than 2 degrees off which is why it appears to be centralized. Jupiter is also less than 2 degrees off. But some such as the Plutoid or Dwarf Planet Pluto can be off as much as 17 degrees.

Hope this gives you a bit understanding!

How Is radar used to determine the speed of a car

Serga [27]

Radars are frequently used to identify distance and speed, such as how far away an object is or how fast it is moving. The radar device can then use the change in frequency to determine the speed at which the car is moving. In laser-speed guns, waves of light are used in place of radio waves.

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer: 12Mg/h

Explanation:

Let the spring is compressed by a distance x,before the lift stops,then

Mg(h+x)= 1/2 kx^2 ............... 1

Kx - Mg = M ( 5g ) ............ 2

Make x the subject in equation 2

Kx = 5Mg + Mg

Kx = 6Mg

x = 6Mg/k ............ 3

Put equation 3 into 1

Mg ( h + x ) = 1/2 kx^2

Mgh + Mgx = 1/2kx^2

Mgh + Mg × 6Mg/k = 1/2k × ( 6Mg/k )^2

Mgh + Mg× 6Mg/k = 1/2k 36M^2g^2/ k^2

h =18Mg/k - 6Mg/h

K = 12Mg/h

Traveling against currents usually takes longer. Kinda like walking against the wind, you feel the heaviness against your jacket as you push through it. Where when you walking with the wind, it kind of gives your a push. Same for with currents.
