 Orbits<span> of </span>planets are typically elliptical, and the central mass being orbited is at a focal point of the ellipse. The planet stays in orbit due to a strong atmosphere and gravity. Also, the planet's inertia would keep it on course. Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions here.

Answer:

Due to gravitational force between the planet and the sun.

Explanation:

According to Newton's first law of motion, a body remains in the state of motion or rest unless an unbalanced external force acts on it. A planet would move in straight path had there been no force acting on it. It stays in its elliptical orbit around the Sun because of the gravitational force between the sun and the planet. The planet is orbiting along path C in the figure, instead of Path A due to gravitational force.

Calculate the amount of gravitational potential energy at the top of each hill
Marizza181 [45]
The gravitational potential energy has the formula:
PE = mgh
where PE is in joules
m is the mass of the object in kg
g is the acceleration due to gravity
h is the height in m

since you did not give the value of h, i cannot fully answer your quesstion.
PE = (58/1000 kg) (9.81m/s2) h
PE = 0.57h
just substitute the value of h in the equation

A skydiver free falls from rest. How long does it take for the skydiver to reach 7 m/s?
aev [14]

Answer:

<em>The skydiver needs 0.71 seconds to reach 7 m/s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Free Fall Motion </u>

When an object is dropped in free air (no friction) from a certain height h, it follows a free-fall motion, whose acceleration is due exclusively to gravity. The speed at a moment t when the object is dropped (from rest) is:

V_f=gt

We need to find How long does the skydiver needs to reach 7 m/s. We solve for t

\displaystyle t=\frac{V_f}{g}

\displaystyle t=\frac{7}{9.8}

t=0.71\ sec

The skydiver needs 0.71 seconds to reach 7 m/s

A rock band playing an outdoor concert produces sound at 120 dB 5.0 m away from their single working loudspeaker. What is the so
joja [24]

ANSWER:100dB

f<em>rom the  sound intensity level,the sound intensity is calculated as:</em>

<em />\beta<em>₁=</em>\beta<em>=(10dB)㏒₁₀(l₁/l₀)</em>

<em>inserting numbers:</em>

<em>120dB=(10dB)㏒₁₀[l₁/10⁻¹²W/m⁸] or 12=㏒₁₀[l₁/(10⁻¹²)W/m²</em>

<em>Getting the antilog of both sides and obtain 10¹²=l₁(10⁻¹²W/m²)which </em>

<em>can be used to solve for l₁ and get</em>

<em>          l₁=(10⁻¹²W/m²)(10¹²)=1 W/m²</em>

<em>since the sound  intensity is related to the power and that the power does not change,the sound intensity at any other point can be solved.Plugging-in</em>

<em>ᵃ = 4πr²,into P=l₁ₐ₁=l₂ₐ₂ and get:</em>

<em>l₂=l₁(r₁/r₂)² =(1W/m²)(5/35) =2.04×10⁻²W/m²</em>

<em>since we know the sound intensity at the sound point 2r,the sound intensity level at the point can be solved.We have:</em>

<em>     </em>\beta<em>₂=</em>\beta<em>=(10dB)㏒₁₀(l₂/l₀)=(10dB)㏒₁₀(2.04×10⁻²/1×10⁻²)</em>

<em>    </em>\beta<em>₂=(10dB)㏒₁₀(2.04×10¹⁰)</em>

<em />\beta<em> =(10dB)[㏒₁₀(2.04)+㏒₁₀(10¹⁰)]=10dB[0.32+10]=103dB=100dB</em>
