Viktor [21]3 years ago

<h2>Answer: Eccentricity </h2>

From the 6 characteristic orbital elements  of the orbit of a body around another more massive, its eccentricity will indicate the shape of the orbit.

Now, going to the specific case of planets, according to Kepler's 1st Law, the planets revolve around the Sun in <u>elliptical orbits</u>.

In this context, the ellipse is a conic, whose eccentricity e is between 0 and 1:

0

When its value is 0 we are talking about a circular orbit and when it is 1, a parabolic orbit.

That is, the nearer to the value of 1 <u>(without reaching 1)</u> the eccentricity of the orbit is, the more elliptical it will be.

Therefore, Planetary orbits that are more elliptical have a greater eccentricity.

So far, you’ve been working with an "ideal" pulley system. How do you think real pulley systems are different, and how would tha
almond37 [142]

Answer:

In an ideal pulley system is assumed as a perfect system, and the efficiency of the pulley system is taken as 100% such that there are no losses of the energy input to the system through the system's component

However, in a real pulley system, there are several means through which energy is lost from the system through friction, which is converted into heat, sound, as well as other forms of energy

Given that the mechanical advantage = Force output/(Force input), and that the input force is known, the energy loss comes from the output force which is then reduced, and therefore, the Actual Mechanical Advantage (AMA) is less than the Ideal Mechanical Advantage of an "ideal" pulley system

The relationship between the actual and ideal mechanical advantage is given by the efficiency of the pulley system as follows;

Efficiency \, \% = \dfrac{AMA}{IMA}  \times 100

A coin released at rest from the top of a tower hits the ground after falling 1.5 s. What is the speed of the coin as it hits th
Inessa05 [86]

initially coin is at rest and then it drop for total time t = 1.5 s

so here the speed of the coin at which it will hit the floor is to be find

v_f = v_i + at

here we know that

v_i = 0

a = 9.8 m/s^2

t = 1.5 s

now from above equation

v_f = 0 + 1.5 (9.8)

v_f = 14.7 m/s

so it will hit the floor with speed 14.7 m/s

Sonia's grandfather was not able to see clearly after returning from his walk on a bright sunny day. He was about to hit a chair
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Sonia's grandfather was not able to see clearly after returning from his walk on a bright sunny day. He was about to hit a chair when Sonia held him and guided him to the nearby sofa, in sunny environment grandfather's eye is set according to high brightness, his pupils become small to lower the number of light rays entering his eye, when he returned from sunny environment to his house which was having low brightness so the pupils should enlarge to absorb more light to see clearly but due to old age his Ciliary muscle of the eye would have worn out and due to this poor coordination the image was not clear.
