Kepler's first law - sometimes referred to as the law of ellipses - explains that planets are orbiting the sun in a path described as an ellipse. An ellipse can easily be constructed using a pencil, two tacks, a string, a sheet of paper and a piece of cardboard. Tack the sheet of paper to the cardboard using the two tacks. Then tie the string into a loop and wrap the loop around the two tacks. Take your pencil and pull the string until the pencil and two tacks make a triangle (see diagram at the right). Then begin to trace out a path with the pencil, keeping the string wrapped tightly around the tacks. The resulting shape will be an ellipse. An ellipse is a special curve in which the sum of the distances from every point on the curve to two other points is a constant. The two other points (represented here by the tack locations) are known as the foci of the ellipse. The closer together that these points are, the more closely that the ellipse resembles the shape of a circle. In fact, a circle is the special case of an ellipse in which the two foci are at the same location. Kepler's first law is rather simple - all planets orbit the sun in a path that resembles an ellipse, with the sun being located at one of the foci of that ellipse.
Answer:
Being a plane mirror the Image is formed 3 metres beyond the mirror . So total distance is 3+3 = 6metres
Molecules in the air scatter blue<span> light from the sun more than they scatter red light.</span>
Electrons move in atomic orbitals (or subshells). there are four different orbital shapes (s p d f). in each shell, the s subshell is at a lower energy than the p. an orbital diagram is used to determine an atom's electron configurations
Explanation:
a) The rope obeys Hooke's law, so:
F = k Δx
The elastic energy in the rope is:
EE = ½ k Δx²
Or, in terms of F:
EE = ½ F Δx
Use trigonometry to find the stretched length.
cos 20° = 35 / x
x = 37.25
So the displacement is:
Δx = 37.25 − 24
Δx = 13.25
The elastic energy per rope is:
EE = ½ (3.7×10⁴ N) (13.25 m)
EE = 245,000 J
There's two ropes, so the total energy is:
2EE = 490,000 J
Rounded to one significant figure, the elastic energy is 5×10⁵ J.
b) The elastic energy in the ropes is converted to gravitational energy.
EE = PE = mgh
5×10⁵ J = (1.2×10³ kg) (9.8 m/s²) h
h = 42 m
Rounded to one significant figure, the height is 40 m. So the claim is not justified.
