When the object is moving in the elliptical orbit, it means that the direction of its acceleration should be towards the two foci (plural of focus) of the ellipse to keep the elliptical motion. As force according to the Newton's second law: F = ma, the net force must be in the direction of the acceleration. As far as the magnitude of net force is concerned, you can use Newton's gravitational law to find its magnitude.
Answer:
B. changing shape and changing volume
Explanation:
*no definite shape (takes the shape of its container)
*no definite volume
Answer:
8.3m/s
Explanation:
Given parameters:
mass of clay ball = 5kg
Speed of clay ball = 25m/s
mass of clay ball at rest = 10kg
speed of clay ball at rest = 0m/s
Unknown:
Velocity after collision = ?
Solution:
Since the balls stick together, this is an inelastic collision:
m1v1 + m2v2 = v(m1 + m2)
5(25) + 10(0) = v (5 + 10)
125 = 15v
v = 8.3m/s
