Answer:

a) r = 182838000\,mi, b) r = 189162000\,mi

Explanation:

a) The distance between the center and one of the foci is:

c = \epsilon \cdot a

c = (0.017)\cdot (186000000\,mi)

c = 3162000\,mi

The shortest distance is:

r = a - c

r = 186000000\,mi -3162000\,mi

r = 182838000\,mi

b) The longest distance is:

r = a + c

r = 186000000\,mi +3162000\,mi

r = 189162000\,mi

As the launch force increase the launch velocity will
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

As the launch force increase the launch velocity will

<em><u>Increase</u></em>

The reason for your answer to number six is because

<em><u>There is a direct relationship between force and acceleration.</u></em>

<em><u /></em>

Explanation:

<em>It is known all over the place that, there is a direct relationship between Force and acceleration of an object leading to an increase in force being directly proportional to the increase in the acceleration of the given object and vice versa.</em>

I SERIOUSLY can't do this type of questions so can someone solve it detailedly and putting with letters (there is a system you n
KatRina [158]

Answer:

4 Ohms

Explanation

(This is seriously not as hard as it looks :)

You only need two types of calculations:

  1. replace two resistances, say, R1 and R2, connected in a series by a single one R. In this case the new R is a sum of the two: R = R_1+R_2
  2. replace two resistances that are connected in parallel. In that case: \frac{1}{R}= \frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}\\\mbox{or}\\R= \frac{R_1\cdot R_2}{R_1+R_2}

I am attaching a drawing showing the process of stepwise replacement of two resistances at a time (am using rectangles to represent a resistance). The left-most image shows the starting point, just a little bit "warped" to see it better. The two resistances (6 Ohm next to each other) are in parallel and are replaced by a single resistance (3 Ohm, see formula above) in the top middle image. Next, the two resistances (9 and 3 Ohm) are nicely in series, so they can be replaced by their sum, which is what happened going to the top right image. Finally we have two resistances in parallel and they can be replaced by a single, final, resistance as shown in the bottom right image. That (4 Ohms) is the <em>equivalent resistance</em> of the original circuit.

Using these two transformations you will be able to solve step by step any  problem like this, no matter how complex.

An object travels a distance of 56 meters to the right in 7 seconds. What is the object's velocity?
Yakvenalex [24]

Explanation:

Distance travelled (d) = 56 metres

Time taken (t) = 7 seconds

velocity of the object (V)

= d / t

= 56 / 7

= 8 m/s

The velocity of the object is 8 m/s.

Hope it will help :)
