I guess that depends on what you mean by "nearly".
"Nearly" is one of those rubber words that means different things
to different people, and may even mean different things to the same
person at different times and in different situations.

I can tell you this much:

-- The Earth's orbit is an ellipse with eccentricity of  0.0167... .

-- At closest approach to the sun (perihelion, around January 3), the Earth
is about  3.3% closer to the sun than at its farthest (aphelion, around July 5).

-- When the true shape of the orbit is drawn on paper, its departure from
a perfect circle is not noticeable.

So to me, Earth's orbit is "nearly circular".  Your interpretation of the same
words may be different.

A particle moving in the x direction is being acted upon by a net force f(x)=cx2, for some constant
makkiz [27]
The work-energy theorem states that the change in kinetic energy of the particle is equal to the work done on the particle:
\Delta K = W
The work done on the particle is the integral of the force on dx:
W= \int\limits^{3L}_L {F(x)} \, dx = \int\limits^{3L}_L {cx^2} \, dx = \frac{26}{3}cL^3
So, this corresponds to the change in kinetic energy of the particle.

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

Follows are the explanation to this question:

Explanation:

In this solution, it is defined that there are two principal motions for the moon, which are its revolution as well as rotation. In such a movement called revolution, its Moon is relocating around the Earth, in which the approximate movement of the moon from around earth has an average movement of about 13.2° per day, or 92 degrees every week, that's once in 27.3 days.
