Answer:

If the system consists of the block only, the work done by the gravity is negative.

If the system consists of the block and the earth the work done by the gravity is zero.

Explanation:

If the system consists of the block only, then the system experiences two external forces: one exerted by the hand that lifts the block vertically upward and other exerted by the earth (gravity), which is opposed to the movement of the system, so the work done by gravity is negative.

On the other hand, if the system consists of the block and the earth, then only exists a external force which is the exerted by the hand. So, the force exerted by gravity is zero.

As the Sun ages, what will happen to life here on Earth? Why?
Burka [1]

Answer:

As the Sun ages it will enter another stage of stellar evolution where it's atmosphere begins to inflate.As the Sun heats up and expands, life on Earth will become increasingly difficult. Long before the Sun becomes a red giant some 4 or 5 billion years from now, our planet will be rendered uninhabitable.

For elliptical obits: the direction of the velocity of the satellite is _______________________ (always, seldom, never) perpendi
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

For elliptical orbits: seldom

For circular orbits: always

Explanation:

We start by analzying a circular orbit.

For an object moving in circular orbit, the direction of the acceleration (centripetal acceleration) is always perpendicular to the direction of motion of the object.

Since acceleration has the same direction of the force (according to Newton's second law of motion), this means that the direction of the force (the centripetal force) is always perpendicular to the velocity of the object.

So for a circular orbit,

the direction of the velocity of the satellite is always perpendicular to the net force acting upon the satellite.

Now we analyze an elliptical orbit.

An elliptical orbit correponds to a circular orbit "stretched". This means that there are only 4 points along the orbit in which the acceleration (and therefore, the net force) is perpendicular to the direction of motion (and so, to the velocity) of the satellite. These points are the 4 points corresponding to the intersections between the axes of the ellipse and the orbit itself.

Therefore, for an elliptical orbit,

the direction of the velocity of the satellite is seldom perpendicular to the net force acting upon the satellite.

You drop a glass on the floor and it shattters chemical or physical change ?
Sati [7]
This describes a physical change. The glass shattering changes its physical shape and appearance only, as it retains its chemical composition.
