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

1 answer:

7 0

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.

Which theory states that if you are forced to smile at an event, you will enjoy it? A. The Schachter-Singer theory B. The Lazaru

Ronch [10]

Answer:

C. The facial feedback theory

Explanation:

The facial feedback theory as postulated by William James and connects back to the famous Charles Darwin talks about how facial expressions stimulate our emotional state of being. Based on this theory, the emotional experiences we have are determined by the looks on our faces.

According to the question, smiling at an event makes you enjoy it is an example of what the The facial feedback theory is explaining. Furthermore, smiling, which is a facial expression causes or stimulates an emotional state of enjoyment in that event.

Give an example of a force applied to an object that does not change the object's velocity. Why does the object's velocity not c

Xelga [282]

Answer:

A chair at rest on the floor has two forces acting on it its own weight that pulls it downward and the floor pushing upward on the chair, both of these forces are acting on it but the net force is 0, so the chair remains at rest and its velocity stays at 0.

Define the types of friction and give FOUR examples of each

Verdich [7]

Answer:

Static Friction - acts on objects when they are resting on a surface

Sliding Friction - friction that acts on objects when they are sliding over a surface

Rolling Friction - friction that acts on objects when they are rolling over a surface

Fluid Friction - friction that acts on objects that are moving through a fluid

Explanation:

Examples of static include papers on a tabletop, towel hanging on a rack, bookmark in a book , car parked on a hill.

Example of sliding include sledding, pushing an object across a surface, rubbing one's hands together, a car sliding on ice.

Examples of rolling include truck tires, ball bearings, bike wheels, and car tires.

Examples of fluid include water pushing against a swimmer's body as they move through it , the movement of your coffee as you stir it with a spoon, sucking water through a straw, submarine moving through water.

) each plate of a parallel-plate air-filled capacitor has an area of 0.0020 , and the separation of the plates is an electric fi

Dvinal [7]

I attached the full question.
We know that for a parallel-plate capacitor the surface charge density is given by the following formula:
$\sigma=\varepsilon_0 \frac{V}{d}$
Where V is the voltage between the plates and d is separation.
Voltage is by definition:
$V=Ed$
Voltage is analog to the mechanical work done by the force.
Above formula is correct only If the field is constant, and we can assume that it is since no function has been given.
The charge density would then be:
$\sigma=\varepsilon_0 \frac{Ed}{d}=\varepsilon_0E\\
\sigma= 8.85\cdot10^{-12}\cdot 2.1\cdot 10^6= 0.0000185\frac{c}{m^2}$
Please note that elecric permittivity of air is very close to elecric permittivity of vacum, it is common to use them <span>interchangeably</span>.
