Suppose two comets, comet A and comet B, were orbiting the Sun, having the same average orbital radii. If comet A had a higher e

ccentricity than comet B, which comet would, during some portion of its orbit, have the highest orbital speed?
Physics

Answer:

Explanation:

It is given that comet A has higher eccentricity than comet B and according to Kepler law planet orbit around the sun with the sun as the focus.

An implication of Kepler's law is that the planet moves faster when it close to the sun and slower when distant. This is the result of the conservation of angular momentum.

A has a more elliptical path thus it will be closer to the sun and therefore A will have the highest orbital speed.

Is the alien theory a scientific claim? Why or why not?
spin [16.1K]
I'm not sure what the alien Theory says or if there really is such a theory. If the theory says that aliens definitely exist and that they have visited Earth in the past then the theory is totally and completely without any kind of support. It's not scientific in any way because there is no evidence for such a claim. It may be thought to be probable but no solid evidence has ever been presented.

The metric unit of force is the
Verizon [17]
Newtons. Force is mass times acceleration. Mass is measured in kilograms (kg) and acceleration is measured in meters per second squared (m/s^2.) These units (kg and m/s^2) multiplied together like in the equation force equals mass times acceleration (F=ma) gives a product with Newtons as the unit.
