<span>to plot and time the positions of comets and asteroids as they orbit the The application to Kepler's law are:
1. Sunplotting a course out of the solar system to explore other planets similar to Earth
2. plot the orbit of moons or man-made space satellites

An example of this is Kepler’s harmonic law is the third law of the Planetary Motion. He discovered this after ten years that there is a relation between the time of a planet’s orbit and its distance from the sun. The harmonic law states that the squares of the orbital periods of the planets around the Sun are proportional to the cubes of the planet’s orbital period</span>

Answer:

A. To plot and time the positions of comets and asteroids

Explanation:

Kepler's law helps to understand the orbits of many planets and celestial bodies including comets and asteroids.

It was found that like other bodies or planets, comets also revolve around the sun in an elliptical path.

Consider sun is situated at one foci, when comets revolve around the sun the distance is very large but as soon as it comes closer to sun, it starts to melt thus forming a comet tail.

Hence time and position of a comet is described by Kepler's law.

A train is moving along a horizontal track. A pendulum suspended from the roof makes an angle of 4° with the vertical. If g=10m/

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

Train accaleration = 0.70 m/s^2

Explanation:

We have a pendulum (presumably simple in nature) in an accelerating train. As the train accelerates, the pendulum is going move in the opposite direction due to inertia. The force which causes this movement has the same accaleration as that of the train. This is the basis for the problem.

Start by setting up a free body diagram of all the forces in play: The gravitational force on the pendulum (mg), the force caused by the pendulum's inertial resistance to the train(F_i), and the resulting force of tension caused by the other two forces (F_r).

Next, set up your sum of forces equations/relationships. Note that the sum of vertical forces (y-direction) balance out and equal 0. While the horizontal forces add up to the total mass of the pendulum times it's accaleration; which, again, equals the train's accaleration.

After doing this, I would isolate the resulting force in the sum of vertical forces, substitute it into the horizontal force equation, and solve for the acceleration. The problem should reduce to show that the acceleration is proportional to the gravity times the tangent of the angle it makes.

I've attached my work, comment with any questions.

Side note: If you take this end result and solve for the angle, you'll see that no matter how fast the train accelerates, the pendulum will never reach a full 90°!

A 5kg ball is on top of the school building at a height of 40m above the ground.

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

A-Caclcuate the potential energy of the ball at that height

Explanation:

(a). Mass of the Body = 10 kg.

Height = 10 m.

Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s².

Using the Formula,Potential Energy = mgh

= 10 × 9.8 × 10 = 980 J.

(b). Now, By the law of the conservation of the Energy, Total amount of the energy of the system remains constant.

∴ Kinetic Energy before the body reaches the ground is equal to the Potential Energy at the height of 10 m.

∴ Kinetic Energy = 980 J.

(c). Kinetic Energy = 980 J.

Mass of the ball = 10 kg.

∵ K.E. = 1/2 × mv²

∴ 980 = 1/2 × 10 × v²

∴ v² = 980/5

⇒ v² = 196

∴ v = 14 m/s.

Which of these is an example of acceleration? A a bicyclist turning around a corner B a car traveling south with its cruise cont

Airida [17]

The answer is A.

Acceleration means when you go faster in speed. Since the bicyclist is turning, he has to slow down but when he finishes turning, he is going to pedal harder and gain more speed. This is called Acceleration.

Best of Luck!

A physicist found that a force of 1.32 N was measured between two charged spheres. The distance between the spheres was 95 cm. C

labwork [276]

The electric force (and the gravitational force too) is inversely proportional
to the square of the distance between the objects involved.

In this question, the distance is increased by a factor of (1.25/0.95) .

So the electric force will change by the factor of (0.95/1.25)² .

The new force is

(1.32 N) · (0.95/1.25)² = 0.762... newton (rounded)
