Which of the following is true about a planet orbiting a star in uniform circular

Physics

Mnenie [13.5K]3 years ago

The velocity vector of the planet points toward the center of the  circle is the following is true about a planet orbiting a star in uniform circular  motion.

A. The velocity vector of the planet points toward the center of the  circle.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Motion of the planet around the star is mentioned to be uniform and around a circular path. Objects in uniform circular motion motion has constant angular speed but the velocity of the object will not remain constant. Since the planet is in circular motion the direction of velocity vector at a particular point is tangential to the circular path at that particular point.

Thus at every point, the direction of velocity vector changes and this means the velocity is never constant. The objects in uniform circular motion has centripetal acceleration which means that velocity vector of the planet points toward the center of the  circle.

Answer:

Electrons are drawn from one end of the battery to the other. Connecting two of those ends allows an electric current to flow between them. Wires make a path through that current can flow from one end of a battery to the other end, which would be considered as: The north and east side

When a wave strikes a solid barrier it behaves like a basketball hitting a backboard this wave behavior years called?
Mama L [17]
This behavior is called reflection.
Reflection is a change of in direction of the wave when it reaches another medium. Imagine a wave colliding with a glass in a tank of water.
During reflection, some of the initial energy of the wave is lost.
Waves always reflect with at same angle at which it approached the obstacle.

Whenever you push an object across a frictional surface, it starts out taking a lot of force to push to get the object moving. H
son4ous [18]

Answer:

The answer is A

Explanation:

Here's an example. A child is in school taking a test. They have made a mistake on a question, and want to erase it. The eraser is made out of a type of rubber, the rubber has friction, which means the eraser has something that's going to resist movement. Now the child has exerted enough force to get it moving, and it's moving, it won't stop unless the child stops exerting force to keep it moving. Both Newton's 1st and 3rd law explain the action of moving something on a surface with friction.

The change in kinetic energy is \Delta K = 3Fd

Explanation:

According to the work-energy theorem, the work done on an object is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the object. Mathematically:

W=K_f -K_i= \Delta K

where :

W is the work done on the object

K_f is the final kinetic energy of the object

K_i is the initial kinetic energy

Also, the work done on an object is (assuming that the force is applied parallel to the motion of the object):

W=F\Delta x

where

F is the magnitude of the force

\Delta x is the displacement of the object

In this problem, the force acting on the object is

F

While the displacement is the horizontal distance travelled, so

\Delta x = 3d

Therefore, the work done is

W=(F)(3d)=3Fd

And so the change in kinetic energy is

\Delta K = 3Fd

MaRussiya [10]
<span>If an inductor is connected across an ac source and suppose the frequency of the source is doubled, then t</span>he inductive reactance of the inductor is also doubled. The inductive reactance (XL) is the t<span>he opposition to current flowing through a coil in an AC circuit, the </span>impedance measured in Ohms and can be calculated with the following formula:
XL=2*pi*f*L,
where f is the frequency. So, if the frequency is doubled than also the inductive reactance is doubled.
