<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is A) Ellipse.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A curve in a plane which is surrounded by the two focal points such that the sum of the distances between the two focal points is constant for each of the points on the curve, is called an ellipse.

The planets in the space around the sun follow an elliptical path, with the Sun at one focus so the sum of the distances between the planets and the Sun remain the same.

-Dominant- [34]

Explanation:

Let h is the height of the plane above ground. x is the horizontal distance between the ground and the airport. Let s(t) is the distance between the plane and the airport. So,

$s(t)^2={h^2+x^2}$ ...........(1)

Given, h = 4, x = 40 and s(t) = -20 mph

Differentiate equation (1) wrt t

$2s(t)s'(t)=2x(t)x'(t)$

$x'(t)=\dfrac{s(t)s'(t)}{x(t)}$

When x = 40, $s(t)=\sqrt{40^2+4^2}=40.19\ m$

$x'(t)=\dfrac{-240s(t)}{x(t)}$

$x'(t)=\dfrac{-240\times 40.19}{40}$

$x'(t)=-241.14\ m/s$

So, the speed of the airplane is 241.14 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

13. Describe the molecules of a solid in terms of kinetic energy.

Y_Kistochka [10]

The kinetic molecular theory of matter states that: ... Molecules in the solid phase have the least amount of energy, while gas particles have the greatest amount of energy. The temperature of a substance is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles.
