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.

Explanation:

The magnetic force F on a point charge moving with a velocity v in the presence of a magnetic field B is given by

\vec{\textbf{F}} = q\vec{\textbf{v}}\textbf{×}\vec{\textbf{B}}

and according to the right-hand rule, an upward magnetic force on a proton moving westward is only possible if the magnetic field is directed southward.

A tow truck exerts a net horizontal force of 1050 N on a 760-kg car. What is the acceleration of the car during this time?
vovikov84 [41]
We can solve the problem by using Newton's second law of motion:
F=ma
where
F is the net force applied to the object
m is the object's mass
a is the acceleration of the object

In this problem, the force applied to the car is F=1050 N, while the mass of the car is m=760 kg. Therefore, we can rearrange the equation and put these numbers in, in order to find the acceleration of the car:
a= \frac{F}{m}= \frac{1050 N}{760 kg}=1.4 m/s^2

The equation also tells us that the acceleration and the force have same directions: therefore, since the force exerted on the car is horizontal, the correct answer is
<span>B) 1.4 m/s2 horizontally.</span>

Answer:

An electric bell is placed inside a transparent glass jar. The bell can be turned on and off using a switch on the outside of the jar. A vacuum is created inside the jar by sucking out the air. Then the bell is rung using the switch. What will we see and hear?

A.

We’ll see the bell move, but we won’t hear it ring.

B.

We won’t see the bell move, but we’ll hear it ring.

C.

We’ll see the bell move and hear it ring.

D.

We won’t see the bell move or hear it ring.

E.

We’ll see the sound waves exit the vacuum pump.

Explanation:

so, the answer to the question is

A.

We'll see the bell move, but we won’t hear it ring.
