Answer:

elliptical

Explanation:

Nicolaus Copernicus gave the heliocentric theory that sun is at the center if the solar system and all the planets and the moons revolved wound it. according to him, the planets revolved around the sun in circular paths.

But Kepler suggested a different shape of the orbit. According to the laws o planetary motion given by Kepler, the planets revolve around the sun in an elliptical orbit. The sun is at one of its focus.

A sound wave travels in a straight line at a constant speed of 660 mph. What is
Fed [463]

Answer:

a = 0

Explanation:

The velocity of a sound wave in a straight line is 660 mph. The wave is moving with a constant velocity. It means that the change in velocity is equal to 0.

We know that acceleration of an object is equal to the change in velocity divided by time taken. But here the change in velocity is 0. As a result the acceleration of the sound wave is 0.

A 1.2 x10 3 kilogram automobile in motion strikes a 1.0 x 10 -4 kilogram insect as a result the insect is accelerated at a rate
Mariana [72]
According to Newton's second law, the force applied to an object is equal to the product between the mass of the object and its acceleration:
F=ma
where F is the magnitude of the force, m is the mass of the object and a its acceleration.

In this problem, the object is the insect, with mass m=1.0 \cdot 10^{-4} kg. The acceleration of the insect is a=1.0 \cdot 10^2 m/s^2, therefore we can calculate the force exerted by the car on the insect:
F=ma=(1.0 \cdot 10^{-4} kg)(1.0 \cdot 10^2 m/s^2)=0.01 N

How do we find the force exerted by the insect on the car?
According to Newton's third law (known as action-reaction law), when an object A exerts a force on an object B, object B also exerts a force equal and opposite on object A. Therefore, the force exerted by the insect on the car is equal to the force exerted by the car on the object, so it is 0.01 N.

An ore car of mass 39000 kg starts from rest and rolls downhill on tracks from a mine. At the end of the tracks, 19 m lower vert
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

The compression in the spring is 5.88 meters.                

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the car, m = 39000 kg

Height of the car, h = 19 m

Spring constant of the spring, k=4.2\times 10^5\ N/m

We need to find the compression in the spring in stopping the ore car. It can be done by balancing loss in gravitational potential energy and the increase in elastic energy. So,

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2

x is the compression in spring

x=\sqrt{\dfrac{2mgh}{k}} \\\\x=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 39000\times 19\times 9.8}{4.2\times 10^5}} \\\\x=5.88\ m

So, the compression in the spring is 5.88 meters.
