<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is D. The distance between the planet and the Sun changes as the planet orbits the sun.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Kepler’s laws of planetary motion, derived by the German astronomer Johannes Kepler, are the laws of physics that describe the motions of the planets in the solar system.

According to the Kepler's first law of planetary motion: the path on which the planets orbit around the sun is elliptical in shape, with the center of the sun at one focus.

Therefore, the distance between the Sun and the planets vary as the planet orbit around the sun.

A trait of an organism that helps it survive in its environment is calles

kompoz [17]

Answer is adaptation. An organism develops a trait over time to help survive in its environment called an adaptation. You could take a giraffe for example. A long time ago giraffes actually had short necks, but now since their food is higher they soon developed a longer neck and this is what we now see in the present. This goes for any artic animal. Polar bears and seals have a white fur adaptation to help them blend in with their environment. A chameleon changes colors in order to hide from predators and sneak up on prey. These are all adaptations

What do you think that astronomers mean when they use the term observable universe?

iren2701 [21]

The observable universe consists of galaxies and other matter that can, principally, be seen from Earth because the light signals have had time to reach us. Not everything in the sky is the way it is when we see it, because of the distance the light travels to reach us.

Hope this helps :)

An ore car of mass 39000 kg starts from rest and rolls downhill on tracks from a mine. At the end of the tracks, 25 m lower vert

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

x = 5.79 m

Explanation:

given,

mass of the car = 39000 Kg

spring constant = 5.7 x 10⁵ N/m

acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

height of the track = 25 m

length of spring compressed = ?

using conservation of energy

potential energy is converted into spring energy

$m g h = \dfrac{1}{2}kx^2$

$x =\sqrt{\dfrac{2 m g h}{k}}$

$x =\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 39000 \times 9.8 \times 25}{5.7 \times 10^{5}}}$

$x =\sqrt{33.5263}$

x = 5.79 m

the spring is compressed to x = 5.79 m to stop the car.

A neutral copper block is polarized as shown in the figure below, due to an electric field made by external charges (notshown).

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

As point B is located inside the copper block so net electric field at point B is j.

Explanation:

Consider the figure attached below. The net electric field at location B,that is inside the copper block is zero because when a conductor is charged or placed in an electric field of external charges, net charge lies on the surface of conductor and there is no electric field inside the conductor. As point B is located inside the copper block so net electric field at point B is zero as well direction of net electric field at point B is zero.
