Which statement is true about a planet’s orbital motion?

Answer:

Orbital motion results when the object’s forward motion is balanced by a second object’s gravitational pull.

Explanation:

The gravitational force is responsible for the orbital motion of the planet, satellite, artificial satellite, and other heavenly bodies in outer space.

When an object is applied with a velocity that is equal to the velocity of the orbit at that location, the body continues to move forward. And, this motion is balanced by the gravitational pull of the second object.

The orbiting body experience a centripetal force that is equal to the gravitational force of the second object towards the body.

The velocity of the orbit is given by the relation,

                                    V = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{R + h} }

Where

                   V - velocity of the orbit at a height h from the surface

                    R - Radius of the second object

                    G - Gravitational constant

                    h - height from the surface

The body will be in orbital motion when its kinetic motion is balanced by gravitational force.

                         1/2 mV^{2} = GMm/R

Hence, the orbital motion results when the object’s forward motion is balanced by a second object’s gravitational pull.

Sabiendo que el indice de refracción dela gua es 1,33 calcula el ángulo de refracción resultante para un rayo de luz que incide
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

35.16 degrees

Explanation:

Knowing that the index of refraction of the guide is 1.33, calculate the resulting angle of refraction for a ray of light that falls on a pool with an angle of incidence of 50º

Refractive index, n = 1.33

The angle of incidence, i = 50°

We need to find the angle of refraction. let it is r. It can be calculated using Snells law as follows:

n=\dfrac{\sin i}{\sin r}\\\\\sin r=\dfrac{\sin i}{n}\\\\r=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{\sin i}{n})\\\\r=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{\sin 50}{1.33})\\\\r=35.16^{\circ}

So, the angle of refraction is 35.16 degrees.

Brrunno [24]

hi, so the material that would normally form mineral crystals does not have time to form a crystalline structure because of very rapid cooling after volcanically erupting into the air or onto the surface. Obsidian is a volcanic glass.
