There are only two types of planetary motion and these kinds are revolution and rotation. Revolution is the act of the planets in the solar system to move around or "revolve" around the sun while rotation is done in which the planet "rotates" on its axis. In addition, the earth revolves around the sun in 365 and 1/4 days.

Answer: Planetary motion refers to the type of motion in which a planet moves. Different planets have different planetary motion, with variation in their speed and moving direction.

The different types of planetary motion are as follows-

  1. <u>Rotation-</u> Every planet rotates around its own axis. This rotational speed is different for different planets. Some of them rotates in clockwise and some in anticlockwise direction. For example, earth rotates about its axis at nearly 24 hours.
  2. <u>Revolution-</u> Every planet revolves around the sun. The time required by planets to complete one revolution again differs from planet to planet. The inner planets because of its smaller radius takes lesser amount of time to make one complete rotation, in comparison to the outer planets. For example, earth completes one revolution in 365.5 days.

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

The tomato won't hit the car

Explanation:

According to the statement, the car moves at constant speed behind the truck fully loaded with tomatoes, and in the same direction. When a tomato falls from the top of the truck, it should not hit the car as the tomato falls due to the force of gravity, while horizontally has the same speed and in the same direction as the truck.  So we assume that the tomato will fall to the road without touching the car.

Have a nice day!

The electric-power industry is interested in finding a way to store electric energy during times of low demand for use during pe
Stolb23 [73]

Answer: True

Explanation: Inductors are similar to resistors, due to the fact that they offer resistance to current flow, but Inductors are different from resistors in that, while resistors loss electric energy in a circuit in the form of heat, an inductor stores that energy in the form of a magnetic field.

As current passes through an inductor overtime it tends to store current in the form of magnetic field. Therefore the electric-power industry can store energy in large Inductors.
