The velocity vector of the planet points toward the center of the circle is the following is true about a planet orbiting a star in uniform circular motion.
A. The velocity vector of the planet points toward the center of the circle.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Motion of the planet around the star is mentioned to be uniform and around a circular path. Objects in uniform circular motion motion has constant angular speed but the velocity of the object will not remain constant. Since the planet is in circular motion the direction of velocity vector at a particular point is tangential to the circular path at that particular point.
Thus at every point, the direction of velocity vector changes and this means the velocity is never constant. The objects in uniform circular motion has centripetal acceleration which means that velocity vector of the planet points toward the center of the circle.
Answer:
i know the first one.
Explanation:
the distance from earth in light years is 6 trillion miles.
Answer:
16.8 lb is the force on the brake pad of one wheel.
Explanation:
Force applied on the piston = 
Area of the piston = 
Force applied on the brakes = 
Area of the brakes = 
Applying Pascal's law: 'For an incompressible fluid pressure at one surface is equal to the pressure at other surface'.
16.8 lb is the force on the brake pad of one wheel.
Potential energy = mgh
Potential energy = 10 x 9.8 x 1.3
Potential energy = 127.4 J
